Ugh! Can't we have a version of VLC that simply accepts winamp skins? That would be a much better idea.

Thanks. I'll finish off the apps but just put in for short contracts as you say. The "years of experience" thing is putting me off though.

The apps I'm building aren't from tutorials. They are solving my problems and those around me.

Likely just because they can. Any opposition is to be dealt with maximum response.

I'm in Melbourne, Australia. Land of the lockdown. Currently building the obligatory todo list as a pure javascript web-based application and ios/android app for it using flutter. Probably do a React app as well to build up. I'm not a beginner but I'm rusty so I'm refreshing knowledge as I go.

So do you play games?

Of course not.

So, where's your Ferrari?

This coincidentally is basically the underpinnings of every startup plan I've ever seen, at least the good ones anyway.

And what does this alternative look like?

I'm unconvinced. Duct tape visually shows that someone was being so bad they needed to be restrained. I'd argue this is great optics: we care about passengers.

And people who get duct taped are visibly restrained with no decorum. They are easily identified as having done something unacceptable and stupid.

Its kind of like google kicking puppies in a lot of ways. There's no good reason for it.

But the robots can't help. The humans acting as robots can't help either.

Need a human involved. But they're too busy doing... other things.

You are being aggressively profiled. They have taken steps to profile even when safari etc put in hurdles.

Genuinely disgusted that other cultures' approaches were seen in a negative light. Especially when they can inform and be applied elsewhere.
