why?

Thanks that makes some sense. I think the thing is they've been effective in the past, and not much else has. Maybe there has to be some sort of sacrifice to gain progress.

I guess some of the postwar progressive (economic) reforms - largely now abolished - were actually a product of democractic pressure rather than protest - but some of the other ones like anti-racism stuff still did require sacrifice and protest on top of that. And the prevailing economic conditions were quite extreme at that time. When people have less to lose there's less cost.

What's your opinion on strike action ?

Haha, Don't offer people windows 11 , even in jest. It's clearly the opposite of "being excellent" to them ( rule 3).

Gotta love mods.

Who is this mythical average user I keep hearing about?

I've never had a problem forcing people at work - even those with very limited IT knowledge - to run things from cli in windows.

For years in one place I worked the IT support first line solution was to tell all users to force a gp update from the windows cli. They'd point to a nice little how to guide with screenshots and everything. I don't know if any of the thousands of people working there were the all important average user either though, probably not.

Plausible, these AI learned from typical human garbage not from actual study.

Surely that can be OPs choice.

If a user has a large number of programmes they might not want to hand hold updates of all of them each time.

If they choose only the handful they want from arch repo or aur then they might have a quicker update and find it easier to stay awake.

I'd think it should be up to them if they want to trade off bloat vs the burden of an update.

I find, especially for AUR stuff the update can become vexatious.

Would a flatpak would survive this update? I do use arch on some computers but with several flatpaks for some applications that I feel will be safer - but i don't really know.

Maybe i just update and see what happens.

Primary color mixing charts, aka an excellent way to cause a bayesian to shift their posterior about overlapping circle diagrams.

Communication is a two way street.

Good communicators need to learn to pick up on how their speech lands, and learn how to adapt a little accordingly.

I doubt the internet is a good place to learn that skill. It takes a lot of real world practice, and a lot of people still get it wrong from time to time, way into adulthood.

But you should do whatever you like for yourself. But just try to be sensitive to the audience and prepared to adjust if you start to see reactions that you don't like.

These snakes both lay and eat eggs, so they can get abortion with breakfast.
