Leave it to a .ml user to ignore all context…

The US currently employs “volunteer” troops, but also requires all male citizens to register for a future draft. Many living veterans were drafted. And many others were in vulnerable situations that recruiters recognized and preyed upon. Once you join the US military, it’s a crime to quit.

There is clearly some nuance needed when taking about US war veterans.

I don’t think any cops have been drafted into police service. They also don’t go to jail if they quit their job. And I haven’t heard of police recruiters using predatory tactics and targeting disadvantaged groups. The military does, or has done, all of those things to recruit troops.

What I consider a “better interface” is almost certainly not what a new user would consider a “better interface.”

Mobile operating systems (Android, IOS) don’t give the user enough freedom to understand how the system works, the best you can hope for is an understanding of how to use the technology. Knowing how technology works is very different from knowing how to use technology.

Your other post really makes it sound like you think people use GrapheneOS to hurt Google’s business model.

GrapheneOS runs Google play services in a sandbox (rather than as a system level app) and randomizes the advertiser ID, IIRC.

People don’t use GrapheneOS to avoid giving Google their money. They do it to protect their privacy.

Those are libraries used by user space applications. Most distros won’t boot without them, but you can still get into a recovery shell.

Depends on the company/team culture, I guess. Where I work, email is used for things that are important/formal but not urgent, Teams is used for things that aren’t especially urgent or important, and video calls are used for things that are urgent (followed up by an email if it’s also important).

It’s considered rude to expect an immediate response to a Teams message, on my team.

That’s a new one, kids called it “paper view” when I was growing up. It’s pay-per-view, and you could get it on cable and satellite too.

Or just leave the message unread until your next shift?
