I meant to convey how so much of the existing green space was paved already that paving the entire green space wouldn't be much different at this point.
I would guess the paved paths make up like 20% of the image? That's far too much in my opinion, green space in cities is already severely limited.
You can also see how every time a desire path was paved, new desire paths sprung up - which were then also paved.
I don't think there's an issue with desire paths becoming unusable during certain times though. It slightly extends the time you spend walking around but I'd prefer this over having unnecessary pavement.
You might as well pave the entire green space in this example.
I can imagine little worse than doing what you just described although that is (in part) due to moderate social anxiety. I behave in the exact opposite way - ignoring people regardless of how much they stand out because I don't want to stare.
Though I can imagine what you've been doing has helped others.
It depends. Some people view lawns that aren't devoid of all insect life messy or trimmed evenly messy. And if it is raining or has recently rained, hardly anyone would use a muddy path so the concrete sidewalk will remain reasonably clean as well.
wheelchair-accessible
That's important, though I'm not advocating for keeping an entire campus unpaved. I am arguing that only necessary pathways should be paved while desire paths should ideally remain unpaved. People in wheelchairs should still get around (quickly), but desire paths don't need to be wheelchair accessible in my opinion.
I'm not too well-versed with server-grade hardware but my concern is that it would end up somewhat like Intel's (consumer) CPU sockets: Changing every 2 years to ensure you need to purchase new motherboards when upgrading.
I use public transit daily and hardly ever interact with anyone. Maybe there is one interaction every 100 days? I don't frequently see two strangers interacting either, it's unheard of except maybe for retirees with effectively infinite time.
I'm pretty sure that could be negated by having a dot appear somewhere in the corner if the screen is currently being recorded. That would prevent silent snooping at least.
That's at least what my phones does for certain sensitive permissions, like camera or microphone.
Pirating games is easy-ish enough so if Valve ever enshittifies I will be quickly learning how to remove Steam's DRM and put all my games on a server and never purchase another video game in my lifetime.
