@adamshostack @violetblue Wow, this seems unbelievably asinine. I was going to comment, "what dipshit municipality approved these vehicles as street legal", but then I saw Texas. So dumb.

@da_667 This is exactly right. Everything in computers now is accepting the least bad choice.

What I really hate is, we keep having to remake the entire battery of choices again and again and again!

@JessTheUnstill @ellesaurus I agree with Jess. Like most things, technology and software “badness” is a continuum. And sometimes, you’ll have to make the least bad choice.

A good example is work. Would I like to skip using MS Office altogether? Sure. But my employer doesn’t give me a choice.

So, it’s important to choose wisely when you have that choice. Do what you can.

@nina_kali_nina Thanks for sharing all this, Nina. The journey is fascinating. Some of us (me) aren’t as smart as you and maybe can’t complete the same journey… all I know is, I have the same thoughts and feelings.
