True and good advice in general, though one must be mindful of context and of the tolerances. The more critical an application, the closer you need to be to the best possible results, but even in manned space travel there comes a point where you have to take what you have and shoot it into space if you want to ever get to space, and if you don’t you’ll likely never gain the insights needed to improve and iterate.
So it’s true, in most cases it is better to have something than nothing, but maybe also don’t take that in the direction so many tech companies have where your launch is essentially a giant beta because you leaned so hard into this thought process that you barely bothered to even try for perfect and figured you’d just let your users design your product through feedback.

I would say that is proper “3-ish,” or at least informal “3-ish” such as between friends vs. A formal “3-ish” such as if you are meeting someone to buy or sell an item or have an informal business meeting/call, which in my view would then be at most a window of about 15 minutes.

True. And while not ALWAYS the case it is generally assumed that HD remasters if older games will have some control optimization and often have reduced load/boot times which can enhance the play experience or make it less foreign to those accustomed to the present modern “feel” of games.

Lastly- if we deviate from the French root, Gaelic has “Brenna,” or the masculine, which basically means “raven/black haired” so that could work too, and we can borrow words or phrases from many other languages too.

In French it isn’t common to use those words though- a “brunette” would simply be referred to as their gender and brun/brune to match- so like “un garçon brun” with garçon meaning something like boy in English and brun being his hair.
So a black haired woman wouldn’t be called a noirette in French most likely either, noiraude or the masculine COULD be used but most likely you’d just speak similarly to the example for brun above or a very text book French way like: “Elle a les cheveux noirs“ which would literally be more or less “she has black hair.” Like many examples of text book language, it isn’t necessarily common to speak this way especially informally.

To black haired people specifically, if we follow the conventions of blonde and brunette in using the diminutive of the French root, one proposed term would be “noirette” as the feminine, like blund and brun, noir is a color coming from French and in this case, specifically referring to black. Noir comes from around the 12th century from the old French neir which is from the Latin “negro” meaning black as well in Latin.
So “noirette” would be the closest linguistic match the blonde or brunette.

We can see this with blonde itself- which for a time in various parts of Europe didn't only refer to hair, a blonde was not simply a person with yellow hair, but due to replacing the word “fair,” blonde referred to someone who had both fair hair and skin, and could even be used for one or the other in certain cases.
So much like other subjective and imprecise concepts like race, the use of terms like “blonde” or “brunette” aren’t very precise and cannot be relied upon to have any clear and standard meaning across speakers and across time.

Confusing the issue further, blonde derives from blont or blund in old French, which is debated to come from either the Latin blundus- yellow, or the Frankish root referring to gray hair.
In the nearer root, the old French, blund referred to a color that was between golden and chestnut, which in modern times we might refer to a chestnut color as a light brown or as a chestnut blonde.
In usage, blonde became a replacement for “fair” so in theory, blonde can refer to any lightly pigmented hair including white hair and linguistically white hair would be blonde and gray hair would be brun in old terms, however this is subjective and influenced by color concepts of a period.

Under light, “black hair” can often be seen to actually be brown, and one can have blonde or brown hair with reddish tint to it. You can also have light brown hair or “strawberry” or “dirty” blond hair- so we can already see where the concept of classification of hair into these sorts of broad groups can be subjective when done as hoc. What one considers light brown another may call dark blonde for example, with words like “flaxen haired” often used in English to describe a certain range of pale yellow to yellow ish brown hair. The word entered the language after a time but didn’t always exist as a concept, and in modern times the usage is very uncommon.

Brun/Brune are the masculine and feminine for brown in French, Brunet/Brunnette are the masculine and feminine diminutive Ike a cute way of saying something- like “Michael” vs. “Mikey” in English).
Brunette/Brunet can actually apply to a wide range of hair colors, including black hair, and even gray hair which may seem odd, but the root of the French Brun is “bruhn” which is a proto European in word for brown/gray. You have to remember that color concepts and terms have evolved over time and most of the time, historically they often didn’t have the same colors as words or concepts as we do now, with “blue” being a classic example of a color that in many languages didn’t get its own word until relatively recently in human history. The limitations they had in access to dyes and various other factors likely contributed to this further. So blond/blonde,brunette/brunet, and red head or ginger etc. have most often been the three classifications of natural hair color.

Art is subjective and a conversation with your boss can be as expressive or as much an example of art as any sculpture or painting or poem.
I feel sorry for people who have such narrow definitions of art that they can only experience art in specific ways that meet their preconceptions of art and feel a need to judge others and act as gatekeepers for what constitutes art in a world full of artistry and art.
Not all art is for us and that is ok. Liking everything isn’t realistic or required but ideally respecting others ability to enjoy and not tear them down or try to invalidate their expression to make yourself feel special would be the norm.

It’s merely a matter of majority and perspective. If most people liked killing people and didn’t mind the danger of being killed, killing people probably wouldn’t be illegal. Most people don’t want to kill people and most people recognize the value of living in a society where your odds of being randomly killed are reduced.
So it’s just math and a dash of psychology.
A means is a tool to an end. To kill a person to save the world might be seen as noble. To steal medicine from a closed shop to save a child’s life when there was no other way might seem noble. To do those things for “fun” or money would generally be seen in most values systems as “bad.”
It is just a matter of enacting your will on the world. If people agree with your will and want to see the same world as you, they tend to support you in enacting your vision.

Pragmatism. They lock up a man who locks people up because you can’t have that man running around locking up whoever he feels like yes? You can’t let s killer just roam around knowing they will kill more people most likely, and if you can never trust them to be free, you would need to pay to keep them in captivity for life, under hood conditions that is quite expensive and under bad conditions that is inhumane. Killing the killer becomes pragmatic.

A man ties another man up and keeps him in a small room in his house for 10 years because the man wouldn’t do what he wanted. He feeds him enough to survive and gives him books and such but keeps him locked away for ten years and tells him on release that he will be watching him, and if the man doesn’t do what he wants again, he will lock him away for 20 years.
Most would call this wrong, to force your will on someone in this way. In most countries it is a crime. If you locked someone up for 10 years like this, you’d be arrested and locked up for perhaps 10 years or more. If it is wrong to lock someone up like that for not following your rules- then why is it a public service when the police do it?

So when you “fight fire with fire,” when you use violence against violence, cheat to beat a cheater, use brutality against the brutal… yes, if the means are wrong then they are wrong if you use them too. That’s self evident. That said, why and how you use them changes wether the act or you yourself are wrong or “as bad” no?

A bully beats on you for social status or to express their trauma or for some amusement it gives them, a feeling of power, maybe to lower your status or to take from you or whatever else. We say it is bad- wrong. It isn’t wrong to want to establish your social status or to compete with others, life is always to some degree competition. It isn’t wrong to want to be amused or to want to feel powerful inherently. But we can say that their methods are wrong, and that is a value judgment.
To win a game using a trick or exploit may be seen as clever and commendable to some and dirty or dishonorable to others. To court the mate of a mated pair could be seen as “wrong” to some and natural, even commendable to others. It’s values and perspectives.

Concepts like “violence is wrong” are… simplistic. If you say violence is wrong then it is wrong, wether you are trying to kill someone or using violence to defend against being killed. But WHY is someone using violence? As humans we enact our will in the world through actions. You act with reason in some measure. Even a “crazy” killer with “random” victims killed each person because they wanted to create a world where those people were dead right? Toddlers and kids dump out their drinks to watch them pour or fiddle with everything because from any early age, discovering you can make things happen is reason enough to do them. It compels us even if we have no greater purpose than to see that we could make a change to our surroundings.
Is it wrong to want to interact with the world? No. It isn’t wrong to want or need things and it isn’t wrong to act in ways to get them. If we couldn’t do that, we wouldn’t move or breath or eat, we’d be born and die right away.
So we simplify it.

Technology is a contributing factor but despite all the capabilities and prevalence of technology, it isn’t the case that things like text to speech “solve” all the challenges of being unsighted in a society built around the sighted or remove the need for other ways to navigate and communicate.
So the subject is deeper than this format allows- if you’re interested in more I’d read up on it, but to be clear, I am not saying braille is pointless or dying or obsolete or anything if that nature, I’m just stating that braille, like anything, has it’s strengths and weaknesses and works well in some circumstances and less in others.

It isn’t necessarily that braille isn’t more common because of any short comings, more so there are various factors at play and trends which among other things contribute to a decline in braille readers.
Many unsighted children are “mainlined” into public schools that are built around sighted learning and a sighted audience and often do not have the time or resources to teach braille and it generally isn’t part of a standard universal curriculum. These children often need to find other ways to communicate and be able to do their work.

So I’m the one hand, braille isn’t the most common language and there are many technologies that can help make things easier than braille. Braille isn’t perfect by far, some of the fastest readers in braille can only read at about the rate of a non college educated sighted adult, and reading the 500-1000 words per minute a sighted sight reader can achieve would be difficult, rare, improbable.
But braille still has usefulness and can be helpful, and there are those who embrace a culture of non sightedness and see braille as part of that culture and history to be preserved and carried forward.

In general with some help or tools or experience, most unsighted people can navigate the world just fine. Some consideration goes a long way of course.

For those people, it can be hard to make out words and symbols and such, but they might be able to recognize shapes or colors etc. to identify an object such as being able to recognize their favorite snack in a vending machine, but not able tl see the writing on the keypad. How would they know the code for that slot? If they are able to make out the general rows of products, it’s usually the case you can assume the top row is A and numbers go 1 and up from top left to bottom right- at least in English speaking countries.
That may not always be true and there may be some trial and error, but being unsighted in a society most often tailored to the sighted and often without thought or much thought to the unsighted can have its challenges that at times could seem silly or ridiculous someone has to put up with that to handle even many “simple” tasks.

Legally and effectively, a person doesn’t need to have total loss of vision to be classified as unsighted. Many so called “blind” people can see in some capacity. They might only see light and dark, maybe some colors or basic shapes. They may be only able to have useful vision if they are very close or at a certain angle or other certain conditions are met, but they don’t just see the world as though a fully sighted person might if their eyes were closed.

I mean… It’s actually an extremely small portion of the population who read braille. In the US, only about 10% of non sighted people read Braille, so as a functional and necessary language it has about 75,000-100,000 readers out of about 340 million.
But- a non sighted person who uses braille can make use of those buttons.
Consider 2 scenarios. The first is one where a person frequents a location such as their place or work or is a regular at a place of business. They could learn where the items they want are through asking a sighted person for assistance etc. and then order that item at their convenience.
Another scenario- “blind” is a contentious word but it is what many think of when discussing things like braille- and to many, being “blind” implies you see nothing. This isn’t true though.
