Perhaps it's improved in the last few years, but Brighton is the only place I've personally seen someone sitting on a street shooting heroin in the early afternoon.

Largely because no-one wants to go shopping then carry potentially heavy items on a bus or bike.
I grew up near Bluewater shopping center in England, which had plentiful free parking, lots of good shops that were open late and a security team which moved people doing undesirable things along.
Compare this to the nearest towns (Chatham, Gillingham, Strood, Rochester), where the (often Conservative!) council members seemed perplexed that people didn't want to pay £6/hour to park in a decrepit garage that constantly smelled of piss and walk past myriad instances of low-level quality of life crime to get to shops that closed before most office workers could reasonably leave work.
I haven't been back in ~10 years but I imagine the situation now is even worse and all of those towns are in the same category of vape shops, charity shops and empty shops.
- I can imagine several reasons for upgrading the CPU. Supply chain related, mostly.
That said, I am perfectly happy with previous generation Apple TVs and won’t be replacing them any time soon.
Jepsen is a fantastic tool - and one every database engineering team should have in their arsenal - but it proves the presence of bugs, not the absence of them. It is not formal verification, just a more rigorous form of existential testing.
Yes?
Do you have specific examples of usability issues?
As for inconsistent - what!? Every app looked approximately the same, and behaved in a predictable manner.
- proprietary,
- command line tooling,
- single-platform.
A good example of what I consider to be a great approach (not mine) is Ghostty, which has fully native UI per platform and a shared core between platforms. JetBrains tools also go out of their way to integrate with platform conventions everywhere.
An example that cross-platform toolkits usually get wrong: cursor navigation in text fields. Home and End do different things on different platforms, and on macOS, basic emacs/readline bindings are supposed to work in all text entry fields.
It’s worth noting that this extends beyond GUIs - command line tools written in Go tend to use “package flag” which is native nowhere. The standards between Windows (which has two, in cmd and powershell), GNU-style and “legacy” Unix style are just not reconcilable without implementing platform-specific behaviour.
Three of those four are public companies, so the public can absolutely participate.
A lowest common denominator idea of "everywhere" is just not that useful.
It really isn't - credit rating agencies are the most egregious examples by far, and next to impossible to opt out of.
Putin also declared he didn't want a war with Ukraine mere days before he started one [1]. You cannot believe a word that comes out of the mouth of any Russian official.
The solution is for supermarkets to stop being moronic by putting refrigerators on the internet.
