“Being There” is as valid now as it was then. I liked the book and the movie.
Sadly the book is still copy-written, but copies are easily bought, in libraries or found .

Indeed, how can anyone know?
I think failures like this will be readily apparent, within months after launch, to technically minded people only. But only if people have summaries in their news feeds or know how to research the opinions of others..
Perhaps non technical people should wait at least a year or two of before trying a new service? By then the worst of them will have crashed or be found out.
This will not be the last time it happens. With llm coding, I think there will be dozens similar to this in a few years
It is too bad all these people trusted a bad company which cared little about them or their privacy.
I agree with that other comment which argues to set it as the users expect. I think the 1 based is logical here
I can totally see him slapping Cato, his man servant. Unless, of course the character is edited out due to modern audiences. Which is not as improbable as it sounds.
Beating a servant was funny in the 1960s
Who else to call out the atrocities of car culture than the underdogs who are most affected by it?
I have been both riding bicycles and driving huge trucks, not at the same time. And when driving was far less likely to be critical; I would think “this is bad”, and left it there. Five minutes later forgotten.
But when I rode bicycles these very things impacted me much more; I would stew in anger. Then , in that mindset I could more easily reflect on the absolute travesty: not just where I was but roads and metal things slicing up the landscape over continents.
Yes, although I still worked on my own projects.
I have drifted from professional to other for many years.
Now that I have coded for two generations now, I often think I should have chosen some main occupation that was not a sit down job.
But it is what it is, and I will probably program more than anything else for the rest of my working life
Books are meant to be ignored, partially read, whimpering as much as they are to be completely read, enjoyed and celebrated.
I have seen a few people who are similar to that become old; struggling for decades with damage done to their bodies when younger.
I am not judging others , just remarking the survival rate is high
Sounds like a long term issue that will not resolve itself. The only relevant advice anyone can give here is tips about job searching or sympathy.
You have my sympathy
