Naah, instead depending on the minority they’ll be further reduced to their skin colour, religion, genitals or sth. else. For the majority these things usually are just indicators for potential career chances and likelihood of being harassed.

Reminds me of a comic I’ve seen relating to situations at the (federal) job agency.

Agency guy: “What did you do so far?”

Woman: “I’ve raised 3 kids.”

Agency guy: “So you’re unskilled and did nothing.”

In german this is even worse because people don’t ask what you do, but what you are. It reduces people’s identity to their job even more.

That’s my kind of optimism.

It’s the blissful ignorance and, most importantly, the lack of existential fear many people are missing. All your basic needs were provided (if you had a safe childhood).

Unfortunately there are way too many bad, powerful people believing that humans require to feel existential fear to be “productive”…

Yes hello, subconscious? I’d like to scrub my recent memory before it gets submitted to long-term.

That’s why every civilized country educates officers for years, not just 3-4 weeks.

That would indeed be fascinating, the dynamic would be different. However from everything we know it’s sensible to assume it would’ve worked as well, given an island of sustainable size. It would most probably follow more of a village dynamic.

Too many people think of Lord Of The Flies and the Stanford Prison Experiment (both nonsense as we know today) and believe they understood human nature, embittered. This annoys me.

Everyone who reads Lord of The Flies should also read about the Tongan Castaways to understand the difference between actual human nature and a very popular myth.

If this is a real headline then the author is either incompetent regarding code and the complexity of big projects or very competent in regards to marketing and making ragebait headlines. Either of the two.

Then that town better supports LGBT rights cause I gonna max out those relationship hearts with everyone. Now eat your tasty gemstone.

Don’t they want to monetize those as well?

Or start insulting you. Someone actually responding with a link, even to propaganda trash like Fox, is a more rare occasion.

Ah, the old “homeless people will just blow money you give them on shit” trope.

Despicably inhumane bullshit, not funny.

Lol, you still got snow?

Perhaps Spacebar is a thing (the client of choice would be Fermi I think). Didn’t try it myself yet though, I do not know about how well its security protocol works. I’d assume it uses just a standard TURNS server for audio and video though.

Then of course there’s Matrix with Jitsi plugin, which will give you persistent headaches and a new appreciation of touching grass. It’s a mess, but hypothetically offers E2EE (if it works).

it’s been flawless for me

What kind of deal-with-the-devil black magic fuckery have you done to be able to write that? I’m happy if Matrix actually sends damn pictures and gave up completely on verifying my sessions.

Wider sidewalks would solve the clogging problem and allow runners to pass

3-4 people going next to each other still successfully clogg wide paths.

Why are you bicycling on the sidewalk?

There are a lot of shared sidewalks where I live, more often than not to connect two (often newer) actual bicycle paths so cyclists don’t have to constantly push their bike for short periods.

That’s how people clog the damn sidewalk.

Bonus points if all of them have earphones and can’t hear your bicycle bell.

This is framing. They back away from forcing companies offensively, now they tell them they got to implement technology to protect against it.

It’s less clear what the hell now happens, but threatens companies if they don’t implement something. The result will now be the same but the marketing is easier, and that’s clearly the goal.
