Check out helix for a good example of this too. Not quite as visible, but entering certain modes gives you a list of available shortcuts you can use from there.
Space for example opens a list with ten or twenty commands that remind you how to open the file picker, open editor list, problems window, etc…
As someone that used to agree with you, I’ve come to admit there are benefits.
Information density and shortcut availability are two of the big ones.
But the biggest for me is composability. I can query any data using their cli and open it in visidata nearly instantly. Just pipe it in. The interface is awesome compared to other query viewers I’ve found. It makes it easier to drill in and see results. Quick pivoting, Filtering and more
But I have known addicts, they don’t exactly take care of their things. It’s very easy to imagine that much of the state supplied housing would quickly become unsafe and or destroyed.
That’s the reasoning for my question. Just last night I was reading about a local homeless man who was scared to go to the local shelter and had things stolen when he had.
But I also wanted to ask the OP (who mentioned housing as a right) how that could be avoided.
Fix things. You know, by spending money. And do better than we do now with state supplied housing. Plus, not everyone is going to fall into this category and we don't always have to use state housing, depending on the person. I think we should do the same with everyone, not just addicts.
And have different sorts of housing. Some folks - not just addicts - could really benefit from a place modeled after a motel or hotel: Cleaning services and so on, private room and private bath. Some folks could do with a kitchen or provided food. Some folks could use these things yet would be better with a seperate bedroom and living room... well, you get the picture.
At no time is everyone - addict or not - going to be able to take care of things. We should help those folks.
Spend more of your hard earned cash to do the upkeep. YOU suffer a little more for it and I'm all down for that happening to you because we gotta spread the burden around given it's going to be there, period.
it becomes assisted living, like for seniors. they can't live like that, so you get a maid service in every week. it works if just pour money into it, just like rasing children by the government.
the 70's abolition of mental asylums by Regan. We closed the thing with no alternative and expected anything but a disaster?
At the lowest levels, yes, because people at that level destroy everything they touch.. and if they are above that level then they can decorate as they wish, rugs and furniture are a thing.
Both of your top two projects are very interesting to me at the moment. Especially your Wikipedia mirror.
Just today I realized how distracting too many hyperlinks can be. And Wikipedia is full of them! It feels so much easier to read an article without them. Now I just wish Wikipedia had more supporting graphics to help engage readers in a more productive manner.
I’ve been considering a m43 for that reason.
