Neither of those shows the tiniest hint of kindness.

Either makes you a monster.

That right does not exist, because it is literally impossible to have the information required to make it, and it inherently requires someone else to do inexcusable, unforgivable things. You don't have the right to compel someone else to be a monster.

The act causes the hurt. The knowledge of the source of the hurt is the only way it can possibly be addressed.

It's really not a choice, because enough of you knows to be massively harmed. And there are numerous potential physical consequences. But ignoring that, it's not a choice you're entitled to.

Literally any doctor, mental health professional, police officer, or other person in any other position of influence/authority who doesn't give you the information for any reason is an unforgivable monster who belongs in a maximum security prison cell for a minimum of half a decade per offense, with every other person in there knowing that they're there for covering up sex crimes.

Being informed is not a choice. Care is the choice.

Being informed is a prerequisite to decide care. There is no other possible way to make a rational decision.

So am I.

The person being fully informed is the baseline legal requirement all the time because it's literally the only way they can possibly make decisions about their best path forward.

Not informing them isn't just unethical. It's fucking unadulterated evil with no theoretical justification.

The extraordinary measures to not feel like another generic UE game involve replacing core components not designed to be replaced.

The reason people don't want to see UE just be "the engine" for every big budget game is because you get way more variety when big companies make their own from the ground up to meet their own needs. A game like Elden Ring feels different because they have different design principles, sure, but it also feels different because they built their own engine from the ground up that fits its gameplay. It would be a worse game in UE. The things it abstracts away sound great, but it means everyone does the same things the same way.

People react negatively to it because it's really easy to tell.

You can do plenty of lower end stuff and have it feel somewhat distinct, but it takes a lot more to use UE in a 3D game and not make it super obvious it's unreal. People are responding unfavorably to it being on unreal for a reason. It's not imagination. It has a lot of flaws that limit games using it unless they take extraordinary measures to overcome them.

The end result is people tired of unreal because the games all fall short in the same ways, because the engine pushes devs into it.

It does make them feel homogenous, with similar strengths and limitations both visually and mechanically, though.

UX matters.

If open source software genuinely wants to be an option for normal people, they need to fix their shit.

Ultimately they have to convince a jury that there was criminal intent, but you don't have to pull the trigger to be trying to kill someone. They should have to show evidence of a plan and steps towards the plan, but that's enough.

It's ultimately up to a jury whether he was trying to kill someone or not.

Apple does better than the Android experience described in the article, but it also isn't perfect. There are apps that don't recognize that you need a password and are difficult to trigger the autofill (especially with a third party manager), and on very rare occasion it fails in the browser, too. It handles multi-page passwords just fine though.

Not trying to measure dicks or whatever, just giving a point of comparison. Without investigating, I wonder if some sites/apps don't correctly indicate to the browser/OS that they're passwords and what they're for. I haven't had real issues on my Android reader with proton pass, though that isn't a huge set of apps I use.

No, it is not. That is not informed.

Information being shared with the patient is not something that takes their consent. It is the baseline bare minimum obligation of every provider in every circumstance.

A lawyer can't allow a client to decline to hear a plea offer. A doctor can't choose to allow a patient to make any decision without being fully informed of everything the doctor knows relevant to their case. The information is always mandatory, and it's always malpractice not to provide it.

Consent is informed.

Withholding the fact that a person has been raped is exactly the same as a doctor withholding a cancer diagnosis. They do not have that option and cannot have that option. The patient must have the relevant information to be capable of managing their treatment.

Not telling someone they got raped because it's a bummer is exactly like not telling them they have cancer because it's a bummer.

The doctor does not have that option. They are required to make sure that you are fully informed of reality.

Informed consent is mandatory for any health care. "Not telling someone to protect them" is an attempted mental health action that cannot possibly be valid without informed consent, which is impossible.

Not telling the victim, for any reason, makes you complicit in the assault. It is not a valid approach to "health". Denial does not work and is not capable of working. The victim has to know, and cannot possibly have the information required to "choose not to know".

Anyone with knowledge that a person was raped without their knowledge who doesn't take steps to make sure they were informed is a monster who deserves many years in prison.

I think it's more that it's capable at all.

But yeah, as much as I'd like to get from DSLR to mirrorless at some point, it's mostly because of how much better they do at video and how much getting the mirror out of the way helps with certain lenses (even though I really don't like the EVF on my friend's Canon), and the general space saving. I wouldn't do it for a sensor I'm sure is a big downgrade.

You can get those. I had a 4x2.5" bay for a while.

The actual shells and manufacturing costs aren't going down meaningfully. Giving you more for the same price is how consumers benefit the most. Especially because consumer demands for storage (among people willing to buy any, at least) keep going up and there isn't a big market for HDDs that are half the price but 1/4 of the storage.

My iCloud Photos is 1.2TB

Admittedly I should prune junk out, but RAW photos from real cameras are big and I'm not giving them up. Same with videos from my DJI.

It's incredibly obnoxious and there's never a good reason for it.

Headphones are dirt cheap. Use them in public. No one has ever wanted to hear your bullshit.
