Not really realistic at all. There’s a market for unlocked devices, and where there’s money, there’ll be a way.

With the difference that code actually is easily changeable, if you need to change a wall you actually need to tear it down, get rid of the waste, likely tear everything down that was supported by it, and completely rebuild it with new materials.

If you need to change the foundations of your code, yes, it’s not always super easy, but it is actually possible and I’ve done it before without super big headaches.

It’s just not comparable.

People in general don’t work by any guiding principles, they work by emotions. Emotions don’t care about consistency, they are simply situational reactions/adaptations that don’t follow logical reasoning.

Acting in a consistent way has to be learned in a rational way, and it involves suppressing your emotional reaction, at least partly, at least in some situations. People are only like this if they explicitly learn/practice this, the default human, without learning that, does not work like that.

For example, you might be angry at a person that bumped into you, but instead of pushing them away angrily, you remember that it was an accident, no one was hurt, and thus you can calm down and just go your way. Other people might not do that. Of course, everyone might also have a different level of emotional control, it working in some simple irrelevant situations, but not working in emotionally overwhelming situations.

So, the fact that your dad is good to you and bad to other people is very simply explained: he loves you, acting lovingly, and hates others, acting hatefully.

Weigh 10 hazelnuts, weigh all hazelnuts, do basic math.

Nucleus Coop (for Windows only unfortunately) makes lots of games that ordinarily don’t have offline splitscreen to work in that way.

You can play a lot of games splitscreen coop with nucleus including DRG, Windows only unfortunately.

It’s kinda easy to have globes in school though. Doesn’t need one per student.

We should encourage the use of more globes to represent world maps.

Like, seriously. Almost all maps are viewed on a computer screen, all computers easily have the ability to display a sphere and rotate it

Well yeah of course, but you’re generalizing a bit. That’s definitely part of it but the other thing I said is also part of it. Both can be true at the same time, I didn’t presume to cover the whole conflict in one statement.

I’ve never heard of this. Can you please give some kind of context?

My philosophy is: “if everyone behaved like I did, would we have any/this problem?” and if the answer is no, I’m fine.

The thing is that many people see injustice in the world and want to fix it now, which means forcing other people to not be assholes. But the problem with forcing other people to do/think something is that it doesn’t generally work, at least not without causing a massive amount of suffering in the other direction. Everyone generally thinks they’re the good guy of the story, no matter how much evil they do. They think the evil is necessary to stop other, more evil things.

Like for example, Israelis think that Muslims wanna wipe them out, and so it’s only good to wipe these evildoers out first… And exactly the same thoughts happen in the other direction. At this point, it doesn’t matter anymore who started it. Both sides wanna stop the other side from doing more evil, and this attempt to stop is creating more evil.

Doesn’t have to be so severe though. Could just be parents forcing their child to eat their veggies. Eating their veggies is good, and so you might think the parent is doing the right thing of forcing their child to eat it. But, most often, all that happens is that the child will forever hate eating veggies and as soon as it’s away from the parents, never eat veggies again. Until they turn adult and learn for themselves that eating veggies is good, and try to do it, but the trauma of being forced is hard to reverse.

And that example is our constant state of existence with basically everything.

Everyone wants to force everyone else to do/not do something, and even if one side is right, the action of forcefully trying to change someone else usually backfires in some way. Force doesn’t need to be physical force btw, shame (mental pain) is also a kind of force.

I’m not saying you should turn the other cheek to everything. That force should never be stopped with force. I’m just saying that most of the time, you can’t make other people change their ways. But you can always completely change your own ways. And if everyone did that, we’d actually have no problems anymore. But most of the time, people start trying to fix problems in others before they fixed their own, and that is almost a complete waste of energy.

Of course, that philosophy doesn’t stop injustices from happening right now. But it gives a peace of mind in some way. If you are truly convinced that if everyone was like you, the world would be a nice place, then you can be content, at least with yourself.

Honestly, this is only part of the answer, there is more to answering your question fully, but I don’t wanna write more right now. If you want to know more, let me know.

Probably a new set of masts & sails for their boat.

Or a new oil pumping station.

Or maybe a new truck.

HTML/CSS/JS is just a possible frontend technology. It doesn’t really matter if your frontend is written in that or written in Qt or whatever. What matters in the end is that the developers are good ones. If the developers suck, the frontend will suck.

There aren’t many good developers.
