1987 smoking banned in London public transport following the deaths of 31 people in a fire
2005 banned in nationwide public transport

she crashed the economy by saying she was going to reduce taxes on the rich, so much so the bank of England had to step-in to shore up bonds.
I would also add that you need to explain out-of-home steps, too.
I’m not an idiot but I didn’t go to school for compsci or similar and I don’t do it as a job. So frequently the instructions will go
My sibling in Eris, most people dont know any of those words.
different guy here. It seemed to be fairly useful for software engineers to solve quick issues where the answer isn’t immediately obvious - but it’s terrible at most other jobs.
And part of why it’s bad is because you have to type into a text box what you want and read it back (unless you build you own custom API integration- which goes without saying is also a terrible way to access a product for 99% of people)
Another part of why it’s bad is because you’re sharing proprietary information with a stranger that is definitely cataloging and profiling it
Very few people interact with language in a way that is bidirectionally friendly with AI, and AI just isnt very good at writing. It’s very good at creating strings of words that make sense and fit a theme, but most of what makes “very good” writing isn’t just basic competency of the language.

I am commenting this from a terrible strip club with friends who dragged me here. I wish I was in your position.
I’m curious about comparing this to say - the white phosphorus scene in Spec Ops: The Line, or the airport scene (“no Russian”) in COD, rescuing Ellie instead of giving humanity the cure in The Last of Us…
All things that are arguably a lot worse than pulling a leg off a stuffed Elephant and all require on-rails player action in a game.

I wanna ding his little hat like a hotel reception bell
it’s not just one thing though. For a non technical user, it’s nerve-wracking to worry that if you screw up the install, or download the wrong package, or configure the YAML wrong, or open the wrong port, or there’s a port conflict, or you forgot to update the software… now you’re potentially unprotected (even if that’s not the case - many will still worry).
Not to mention even if you - as I did - had to skill up to understand it, three months passes and you’re terrified to touch it because you’ve forgotten all the stuff you learned to set it up.
Same as how the majority of people don’t even change their own oil on their cars - even though it’s fairly easy.
Ah, the perfect keyboard for a quiz on queztals and caziques.

because I googled what distro to use and ubuntu was the one I picked randomly and I can’t be fucked to change it
I assume I am a prototypical user in that regard.
Not that I’m a massive fan of killing bears or anything, nor am i a massive fan of the royals, or war — so I’m only saying this in the interests of discussion: but would making tiny black plastic fur even be better for the environment in the long term?
can you explain for a casual scroller-by with a less-than-mild interest in both?
I mean, disregarding the feasibility, political polularity and media optics of it, for the continuation of earths ecosystem… probably yeah
