You need not violate them knowingly. Just having drugs in your bag placed clandestinely by someone else could get you in trouble. Along with being held without trial and risk of death penalty, this is scary.

One benefit of AI could be to build quick prototypes to discover what processes are needed for users to try out different approaches before committing to a full high quality project.

Assuming the prototypes are functional.

In my case I built a video editing tool fully customized for a community of which I am a member. I could do it in a few hours. I wouldn't have even started this project as I don't have much free time, though I have been coding for 25+ years.

I see it empowering to build custom tooling which need not be a high quality maintenance project.


It is sometimes required to know where the user is sitting due to cross border data transfer laws. It seems that Microsoft is making it more easier to implement such requirements.

Doing such seemingly impossible things have been what humans have been doing. The tech developed for Mars would definitely influence our Earth society. Hard to say how and when, but it has been historically the case. I think instead of spending billions on election influence campaign, spending that on Mars has a better impact to society.

Dharma has nothing to do with caste discrimination. Dharma is typically translated as duty and ethics.

Moreover, caste discrimination is not just limited to brahmins, though they get most of the flak. Caste discrimination is also done by lower castes. It is turtles all the way.


If it comes with fully functional command line, unix utils and ability to install linux apps from different stores, that would be great OS.

That's already here. Android has native terminal in the developer settings and it even has a Wayland graphical environment. I have run Weston with a desktop chromium inside, playing a youtube video with sound.

But no root.

The Android terminal has root access. It's a full Debian VM, with hardware-accelerated Wayland graphics through virgl. Of course, that only works on devices supporting pKVM.

A root account violates principle of least priviledge. With proper design a root account should not be needed.

True but accessing your own files, pinging, network management etc aren't included in the things an Android terminal user can do. Hence the need for root.

/mnt/shared has access to your personal files and pinging just works.

This is as the default 'droid' user, but I also have a root user (but that's only root within the terminal)


That sounds like more of a need to be able to share files and folders with the terminal app and for there to be a ping command callable from nonroot added.

"Root" in this case can be normal users without privileges who are granted root-like capabilities granularly, not necessarily a true root account.

Maybe, but the user ought to be able to do with their device the equivalent of what a root account can do, even if not especially conveniently. Like seeing what data apps are saving to their devices or spoofing data to prevent apps from gaining unauthorized information. Apps should not be protected from the user, and user should have recourse from apps doings things not in their interest.

En-adification. Or just adification. Can also use adified.


There is a small window of opportunity to make this right. That window will be gone soon and then we would be in the N. Korean situation. Rebellion must be done early and enthusiastically. Each passing month makes it more and more difficult, in part due to boiling frog situation.


You may want to take a look at India's ONDC (https://github.com/ONDC-Official).


Sounds interesting, but I can't find any links to an actual live B2C storefront..
