No, instead, hard work and ability gets you the ire of society.

With all the search boxes plastered all over to compensate for broken design, we might as well go back to a shell as the default interface.

4. Don't forget the latency and legacy directx issues caused by the always-on dwm. There are kludgy work arounds like using application compatibility toolkit to turn on certain shims, but even those break once multiple monitors are enabled. The only way to enable multiple monitors and have these applications work is to kill the dwm entirely, which is a massive kludge that breaks things like task manager and the login screen.

5. The new interface doesn't allow adjusting window size attributes. It won't even let you set the title text to a light color when the bar is a dark one. Also the current theme is terrible. I'd like the classic win2k look back (with its explorer because of its capabilities, and configuration flexibility). I realize some find that ugly too, but the current design is worse than that.

As far as I know, these were not addressed in the current windows 10 builds.

Who are you to say what is hopeless and what isn't? Unwillingness? How about an unwillingness to deal with the problem. To most people, the appearance of solving it is all that matters, so these would-be suicides just end up locked up and drugged in mental 'hospitals' or in section 8 housing where they fester in their misery (but yay we saved them!). It's like the old soviet union: they were so intent on keeping people in the country to maintain appearances of a healthy society that they were less motivated to fix the problems that were causing people to leave. If we had the tech to fix those who are neurologically ill, then you might have a point, but we don't. A lot of these treatments are hardly better than dentistry in the 1800s. Until then, it is self centered to force people to live when they don't wish to, for whatever reason. It might be sad to see people make that choice, but it should still be their choice.

Give me a break. This has nothing to do with guns, unless of course you plan to include bridges, knives, cars, drugs, razor blades, and tall buildings, ie pretty much anything. You know, people who want to kill themselves often wish to because they lack agency and autonomy in their lives. All this article's solution does is force them to fester in their misery. That's torture. A world sterilized to the point where it 'prevents' suicides by forcing miserable people to deal with hopeless situations is not a nice place for anyone to live in. I still vote for individual freedom and autonomy over my life, even if it means that a few more people decide to end theirs. It's their choice, just like it's mine to continue living.

It's interesting that the left has this obsession with preempting risk by clamping down on agency yet supports dr assisted suicide. Apparently, it's ok to kill yourself as long as it's for an approved reason. Now that is sick.

Sign me up!

You could do that without subsidies?

Shit. That's what I was doing wrong. I alwasy wanted to live the chinese /indian/hellhole sardine can lifestyle.

dunno.. You'd have to ask those in governments and institutions when they'll get tired of it. I'm not the one doing the oppressing. You'd have to talk to organizations like NOW, planned parenthood, the KKK, and the NAACP.

yet your statement contains no arguments for or against.. just a bunch of name calling.

and then get fired for not having a place to properly eat, sleep, and bathe yourself before showing up? Never mind a house, a studio apartment is tough to nearly impossible to maintain at $14 an hour.

My experience is the people hiring for tech jobs now either:

A. Offer shit pay for crazy hours and expectations.
B. Expect to pay unlivable wages under the guise of 'saturation' and then bitch they need more h1-bs.
C. Expect conformance with hipster ideals/opinions/politics. Hipsters are a pain to manage, but even worse to work for.
D. Frankly, aren't worth working for. This includes things like those manufactured corporate cultures (open offices, chaotic group work sessions designed by people who aren't engineers, buzzword infested behavioral expectations), esp the ones that push particular brands of politics as components.

Was galileo an asshat when he confronted the church? At the time, most would've said yes. This does not make him so.

I'm not defending christians here, I'm attacking hypocrisy, and right now, the left has that in spades when it comes to 'social justice.'

Not a troll because I'm not trying to incite anger. I get labeled as such by moderators who don't have rational counters.

Yeah, meanwhile, feminists like oprah, the loons on the 'view', and race baiters like al sharpton are in front of the cameras generalizing and stereotyping their targets for all to see in public view. Which is worse? I don't have issue with neocons being called out for bigotry, but the left seems to think it is exempt from the same criticism. The only thing worse than a racist is one who accuses others of the same.
