Both:

dialog_error = Dialog_plain.create_modal(error_text)

Variable and class names go from more general to more particular, functions begin with a verb.

Global functions are either “main”, or start with one of “debug”, “todo”, or “shit”.

Ownership comes with both rights and responsibilities.

Platforms want as many of the rights as possible, without the responsibilities… which is why they have a contract (TOS) where they explicitly renounce to ownership, leaving it for the user, and only license the rights.

If platforms took full ownership, like in a “work for hire” agreement, they would be responsible for any illegal content a user could upload, since it wouldn’t be the user’s content anymore. Obviously they don’t want that.

A side effect of wanting as much content as possible without owning it, is that… well, they don’t own it. 😎

Fediverse where there’s no owner/seller/buyer of your data or anything else you contributed.

Incorrect. You get ownership of anything that’s yours, then upload stuff under whatever TOS your instance has… what’s that? it has no TOS? Then they’re in for a rough awakening some day. 🤷

Whether there are sellers/buyers… is something we’ll learn in time. For now, user generated content on the Fediverse gets shared with little regard or protection of anyone’s rights, so anyone can make a compilation, bundle it up, slap a price tag on it, and try to sell it.

The difference is: Reddit doesn’t own the content, they can’t stop anyone else from selling it, or giving it for free; only the users could (the actual owners).

There are Reddit content dumps out there, which Reddit can’t stop anyone from using… so not sure what they are selling, but if it’s just that, then they’re scamming people.

From the TOS/EULA, the content belongs to each user, they just license it to Reddit to use as it pleases.

The kernel is fine, it’s been in the hands of pretty cool people since at least NT. As for the stuff running on it, well… 😗🎶

Some things they did get right…

It seems like you have no idea what police is actually doing

You’d be surprised, I actually briefly considered joining some 20-odd years ago, got as far as reading the training materials (then decided there was no chance in hell I’d pass the physical).

What you describe, are one part “first responder” jobs, and another part tasks that wouldn’t be there if people had something better to do. I’m not saying the “first responder” tasks would be gone, or even the religious or political conflicts. I’m saying that actual crime would be a fraction of what it is now, if all people had some guaranteed future prospects. Not jobs, not housing, just the knowledge that as long as they don’t get violent, they’ll have a way to pursue whatever life they want.

People work like pressure cookers; the more pressure you put them under, the more violently they’ll explode when they get past their limit. Some will hit the purge valve and get drunk, beat their family to a pulp, or maybe just verbally abuse them every day (guess how I know that). Some just get piss drunk and do all kinds of drugs on weekends to “relieve the stress”… stress they wouldn’t have in the first place if they had alternatives in their daily life.

Even in Europe, we have an anxiolytic and antidepressant epidemic. That should make us realize where the problems are coming from.

How much of that is the police stopping? By the time you see it in the news, it’s already happened, committed mostly by people who thought they had nothing to lose, and a few mentally ill.

Domestic violence in particular, is much easier to solve when people can just get up and leave, instead of being tied down by a lack of an alternative.

The famous “5 more minutes”… they’re a lie. In 5 minutes I’m already asleep enough that the next time the alarm goes off, “5 more minutes”… and over, and over. 15 more minutes, 30 more minutes, also don’t give enough extra sleep to wake up on my own.

After years of experimenting, a fail-proof strategy has been setting 3 alarms:

1. 6:00 - switch lights on
2. 6:02 - sit up
3. 6:03 - stand up

No 5 minutes, no going back to sleep.

They can be identified by their yellowish skin and characteristic blue and black rings that change color dramatically when the animal is threatened.

Anything that becomes more visible when you threaten it… you’re not the threat.

I’d go farther: home and job are optional, there would barely be any crime if just everybody had future prospects they were worried of losing for not following the law.

Also why switching horses was a thing: a fully rested horse could run at a higher hp, then change horses and the new one could keep outputting thevhigher up whilecthe previous one rested.

Like switching rechargeable batteries, only the battery was the horse.

All rights are only between an individual and their government

Different rights have different scopes. Some rights, like the right to live, are between everyone. Some others, like the right to receive a purchased product, are only between buyer and seller. Freedom of speech “just happens” to be between individual and government, in countries where it’s even a right.

Pretty much all of them, it’s just missing a button of “break the law”.

May or may not have some relation, but next to France/part of, lies the Basque country, where all numbers under 100 are base 20+10, except 11 and 19…

57: 2×20+10+7 (berr-ogei-ta-hama-zazpi)

79: 3×20+19 (hiru-r-ogei-ta-hemeretzi)

French (in Belgium, Switzerland, and former colonies) also allows simple base 10:

70: 70 (septante)

91: 90+1 (nonante-et-un)

…so the geographic location seems to have an impact.

And just next to it, in Spain, everything is base 10… except 11 to 15 change the order from n×10+m, into 1+10 to 5+10.

Italian does the same, except it’s 11 to 16… just like in French.

English has a hiccup with eleven and twelve, then goes to n-teen, before going base 10 with n×10+m above 20.

German does the same, except it goes to m+n×10 above 20.

Overall, 20 seems to be a magic number, France just seems to have mixed in different ways of using it.

Header files are optional, they duplicate function declarations to share between multiple files, but otherwise you could write c/c++/c# without headers… the compiler might just run out of memory.
