I have 100% seen for myself cops shape their response out to places around where I live because the risk is not worth it to them. They focus on serious crimes and will flat refuse to go to do bs calls that are just minor neighbors disputes.

If DeSantis wants to put the state in marshal law he would have to convince the armed citizens of the state that that is ok, or expect violent resistance which again cops are people, and people don't like being shot, so expect hesitation on following some orders.

Right. I feel like maybe Free Desktop standard, tight integration with top toolkits (qt, gtk, etc) and a some image recognition for fall back.

Honestly maybe we need something like a portable guided tour format (you the "see what's new in ..." things but from strangers for specific thing).

I will say part of problem is knowledgeable volunteers will almost always want to just cp and paste a command string over the docs needed to walk someone through doing it in the current version of GUI.

I've done both. Repeatable user instructions for GUIs IS NOT FUN. Maybe if we can get some automation to turn vague directions into detailed ones and better yet testable (supporting something like OpenQA) it might help lower the burden for a project to do so.

"Do not let has been burden what could be." /s

I agree though, other common UX replication options would help user meet the OS where they are more. I also agree that most common system administration and user UX should be doable in a full GUI, they are just so nice for when you don't know what you are wanting but will once you see it.

I also think VUI (voice user interfaces) would bridge the gap for a lot people and NLP would cover most of the worlds population.

Honestly people keep working on and it ebs and flows in progress. Its just a lot fing work to do it well. One day we will get to doing most functions with multimodal interface support (GUI/CLI/API/VUI/NLP/BCI?).

Matrix (with the popular element client) is by far the more direct competitor to discord here.

Makes me wonder if other human senses would be necessary for that tbh. Like if the train crossing has no lights, the horn and vibration of the train would be needed to replicate how people don't drive into trains.

I have a mention in forward with a note being "the only documention left was a series of desperate sounding emails that the documentation was still on the now quarenteened work computers and something about a README"

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME, like I appreciate my bosses and PMs being chill and not wanting to overwork me on my way out but seriously guys I needed to hand this off to someone and put it somewhere. shrug

Having met a lot adults that just cannot handle responsibility I can confirm 100% that not all experience translates into wisdom.

I have also met kids that who have had to unfortunately become very wise very quick in order to meet the demands of their world.

No disagreements with your takes, just expanding on the notion. The friend that is disrespectful is wrong on multiple levels.

I feel like some function of actual measurements of say hormone levels over a given training period and lifetime would be a better classification systen over pure sex class system.

Most of the time it would result in the same divisions tbh, but outliers would be better accommodated and we get the added bonus of further breaking down gender roles.

Privacy is a foundational right. Without it inviduals suffer from the imbalanced power dynamic of the states resources.

Fascist just over value them. Too many socialist under value them.
