Personally? It was based on things you said. We allready discused it, right? And it was the only thing to.me that made sense. At least than you'd be understandably wrong, instead of stubbornly wrong. If you understand that before the campaign walking on the streets was normal and perfectly leagal and the capaign stigmatized it as a simpletons behavior of irresponsible people, than I honestly don't understand what is the hill you chose to die on.

Yes, those are not the same and that's exactly the point.
2nd one is me trying to understand your perspective and assumimg that you asses the irresponsibility of wondering into trafic must comr from the modern perspective in accordance with modern standards (existing traffic laws and road culture) - reality after PR campaign.
1st one is pointing out that that traffic laws and road culture were different back then, and.we.can't even talk about "wondering into" traffic anymore than we could talk about "wondering into sidewalk" - reality before PR campaign.
Those two not being the same is the result of PR campaign changing one state of round culture to another by stigmatizing being a pedestrian on the street. That's the problem we are discussing.
Come on.
(Man, I'm regretting biting after it was obvious this conversation is going nowhere. This time I'm truly out. Feel free to have your last word, but - hopefully - I'll not address it)

Hmm? Now I'm honestly confused. What is the thing I said that I claim I didn't say?

We are clearly not moving toward convincing eachother to anything even a bit, so let's stop here. Have a great day, Ulrich.

To be clear, your position is that "stupid person walked into the traffic" and "it's that person fault" are two different things? You grasp the tiniest of straws. (You accused me of ad hominem, look up motte-and-bailey)
But even beside that you miss the point entirely. What I tried yo explain you there was that there was no "into the traffic" there. People didn't "wonder" on the streets. They were just there. Like today they are on the sidewalk. People were the rule cars were the exception. If electric scooter run into the pedestrian, you don't defoult into "the pedestrian was likely ignorant". Imagine scooter manufacturers start to call people involved in the accidents like this something like "loonies" or "zombies" until the legislation that people can walk only directly beside the curb is passed... And 10 years from that somene like you will argue "but skipping across the entire sidewalk is ignorant and careless. Term loonie sounds accurate to me".

Seems like an accurate term to describe drivers and walkers alike doing stupid things, like walking into traffic. 🤷
- Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users 1 day ago:
For sure. That's why it worked so well. You take a valid problem and abuse it for your corporate gains.

And "littering" is the "real" culprit why we all drawn in uneccesey plastic. We should blame consumers not the polluters.
Corporations do it all the time.
- Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users 1 day ago:
I see your confusion. You are assessing it fro the rewlity when the project already succeed. You think: people who wonder on the street are to blame if they are hit. How term change it in anyway? Right? Streets are for cars. Obviously.
Buy before the campaing, the streets.actually belonged to the people and cars were exception. You had a shopping carts there, children plaing, cyklist and walkers. Cars were introduced, and the responsibility was on the driver to keep attention. When the increasing number of accidents start to generatete bad press and there was a risk that use of car will become highly regulated, they launched the the campaign with a besic premise "car exidents victims are simpletons that have only themselves to blaim".
Your confusions is a testimony to how well it worked.

How is that offtopic? It's direct answer to the question you asked?
- Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users 1 day ago:
Why? That's a perfect example. There is no qualitative difrence between Microsoft Store and Play Store. Why quantitative difference in the market share would make any distinction in the terminology we use around the process?
- Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users 2 days ago:
And companies ofted do it. Thay recoined jaywalking to put the blaim of the accidents to pedestrians and take away the road from them. They change what littering means in attrmpt to delute the responsibility for polution... We are better than that this time, right?
