What makes you think they would care? If they cared they wouldn’t have done it in the first place.

You can be dismissive all you want, but the point is to acknowledge you don’t understand everyone’s situation and you can’t make sweeping generalizations like “I did it and I can judge you if you _didn’t_ do it”.

Privilege, yes. You had the privilege to dedicate time to learning skills required, obtaining an education, probably bias during hiring processes, etc.

Even though your position might be the result of effort on your part, you do have to acknowledge that you’re privileged to be in a position to expend that effort on what you want, instead of something else, like finding fresh water daily, or whatever. It’s not sheer will that you were born in a (even marginally) more favorable environment than others.

The term “privilege” here doesn’t just mean a trust fund nepo baby.

Is that weird, though? I thought that was a pretty common way to do reflections, but I’m not that well-versed in the latest tech in this space.

even an broken update to /etc/hosts is probably easier and faster to recover from than a broken DNS service

I fail to see how, especially if you were to accidentally break your ability to push those updates out.

Can someone explain the unreal demo linked here - is the reflection in the street also using splatting, or is it something else?
