Steam also offers DRM, it's just up to devs to use it. And steams DRM is relatively unintrusive.

I think steam should maybe be in the middle, and the other 2 far on the left.

I've thought about this a bunch. The christian god being omnipotent and benevolent is contradictory to the bible and also just the state of the world. So what if there actually is some god (or multiple) but these entities are far from omnipotent, really can't meddle all that much and maybe don't really care in the first place.

I don't think it's true (even if it seems more plausible than any religion actually being completely right) but it's just funny to me to imagine that all religions could just be the result of some higher dimensional beings playing with our planet out of boredom, and humans just ascribed far too much power to them.

It is because no one present likely has anything to do with the decision, and even if someone is actively restraining you there's a reasonable amount of resistance and while that includes mild violence it does not include shooting someone or similar. Unless you really need to be somewhere reacting to that with extreme violence is completely unhinged.

Maybe mild violence is what you meant, but that can easily be read differently.

The one way gates are standard, the only exit being ticket scan isn't. The change is supposedly only the one way gates, so they're half truthing to pretend it's normal.

This might be true for the non-US anglosphere but I guarantee you if you walk into a normal coffee shop in germany and ask for 8 ounces (or rather "Unzen") of anything they'll blink fast and ask if ounce wasn't a measurement for gold or something.

And a cup of espresso is usually around 25ml (so a bit under 1 fl oz).

Maybe because in many other countries this just isn't an issue and everyone returns their cart. Even when they don't have a deposit (though most do)

Where's the envy? Also it's more about being interested in the subject matter than inherent ability.

I do this so much at work with random german words, because we have so many specific names for our features, some of which I didn't even know in german before working here. Others I'd know how to translate but it would be ambiguous. And our non-german speaking devs also use the software in german, so they understand.

It's incredible how many people fail to understand the simple "significantly inhibits normal functioning" of diagnostic criteria. I really don't think it's a hard concept yet here we are.

New right click context menu for files is one example. Not sure about others bc I've changed just about everything I can to be like win 10, and in 10 I already changed a lot from the defaults.

For us they just make the people that click them do some online training. I don't think anyone learns anything during that but I suspect not having to do the training serves as a great incentive to be careful.

It doesn't help though that we've had multiple cases of obvious phishing mails everyone just deleted that were followed up by a "no those mails were legit please click the link" by HR...
