Huh, I've not read of that before! That definitely fits with what I was wondering, and points to other terms that may apply as well (universal/inclusive design). Thanks!

Is there a word for the phenomena where everyone benefits from design decisions made to help vulnerable populations?
More and more I’ve been listening to podcasts or treating Youtube videos like podcasts. It lets me multitask in a way that sitting down and trying to watch something just doesn’t.
How much of them do you catch as you're multitasking? Any time I try this I'm astounded at my unwitting ability to almost entirely tune out whatever they're talking about, defeating any point to playing the podcast outside of giving myself some background noise.
[...] I just want to point out that automating things that exist purely in the digital domain is far easier than automating things like ship breaking.
Not that you're saying otherwise, however isn't that even more of a reason more developers and resources should be allocated toward automating complex and risky physical processes?
Is there a meta-community for discussing ways to grow & manage Lemmy communities (not instances)?
That could be part of it, but I was thinking more in terms of sharing resources like what you linked in your other comment as well as other methods to encourage community activity.
Also technical stuff like what to be aware of regarding banner/image resolutions, language settings, handling community handoffs to other moderators, etc. Basically a mix of more specific Lemmy support and general community building/outreach discussion.
Is there a word for when a business or other private organization unrelated to a government restricts/limits speech?
Right, I was wondering if there might be a distinct term so that it might be clearer that a private entity's action is not a violation of rights in the sense that a government action might be. Thinking mainly of why xkcd #1357 tends to come up a lot
How might one translate this to everyday language?
