It is unfortunate that some countries are using cameras, microphones and others to control the behaviour of people. I agree that it is a required measure - as some people do not change their behaviours out of good will - but it is definitely not ideal.

Hopefully, in some years it will no longer be necessary, as people will have those good behaviours deeply rooted.

The current ruling power is already willing. It is the people who are not.

We need an extension like DeArrow for the whole web.

Now that it has threads and features for communities I think it's pretty decent.

I am talking about features and developers themselves. Yes, companies are giant immortals that always existed. However, developers are individuals trying to create something new. And features do work like new bands - some people like them, others don't and it all depends on how/when they are introduced to the customer.

A different problem which you can identify is, for example, how some companies use the customer as a test subject. They release unfinished features to the public to test them in a real environment. This often causes chaos, as new features tend to have multiple exploits and bugs.

What happened to “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?”

Saying this in tech is complete nonsense. Nothing is ever not broken! Because there is always something to be polished, acessibility and usability can only be perfected over time.

It's a lot like a new smaller band, which is trying to make a difference in the world. They might sound terrible, but they have to start somewhere.

One of the major reasons people shy away from EV is the range. This is great to bring more people to EVs.

However, what policies is EU passing to improve the network of public transport such as buses, trams, and trains?
