Honestly so happy I’m married, I’m sorry for all of y’all. Dystopian times.

But hey to add my two cents: I think that fear is marketable, so women are over fed on paranoia.

At the same time, porn and propaganda have put bad expectations in some percentile of dumb men.

Both sexes are generally out of social practice, and societal trust is at an all time low. Most people are nice, but most people are also awkward.

So get out there and meet some people, don’t even do so romantically, just go learn how to interact with people, form some friendships.

Intel does a lot, by which I mean they sponsor people to do it. Changing user facing utils is a bad idea as it breaks things. Although I don’t really keep up with it I know they’ve been changing things like the number of levels of pages etc, over time moving to sysd instead of init and stuff but the latter was a decade ago now. You can probably trace the maintainer to who sponsors them from here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history
