To give some examples:
When police get vastly differential results at investigating crimes against some groups (e.g., Black women) vs. others (e.g., white men), that's malcompetence. Probably plenty of simple malice involved too, and probably the whole gamut of mechanisms I mentioned in the last post are involved here.
Another example, from my own experience: when I stumble over the names of my non-white students but pronounce my white students' names flawlessly, that's malcompetence on my part, because the net effect of my selective incompetence is to make some students feel less welcome in my classroom, which hurts their learning. I'm my case, the reasons for the incompetence are not conscious nor (I think) unconscious malice, but instead a differential capability picked up from a certain kind of upbringing and then (sometimes) insufficiently mitigated by capability-building effort. Because of how I grew up, my ability to pronounce different names is biased (this is true of everyone in the world; most people don't have a classroom instructor position that causes it to matter so much). When I'm successful at mitigating my malcompetence, I use practice time with student intro videos to pare down my competence gap for the specific students in my class. This is time consuming (several hours per week for the first few weeks of classes) and I'm sad to admit that I don't always invest that time. But it's a great example of malcompetence because I have a introspective access to it.

I’m pretty sure seeing my country bombed by an habitually violent country, causing me direct hardship, or maybe taking the lives of my friends and family, would not make me particularly “happy”.

I often run into web pages that make me think "I wonder if this is the worst page on the Internet today."
Today's candidate is Bell's outages checker. The javascripty text box thing for the address is a mess, and reloading the results page (you know, a thing people might want to do to get an update on their ISP's current failure) makes you go through the address dance every time.
Maybe avoid piling on the back-breaking straws here, broken ISP…

« Ce n’est pas tellement parce que nos métiers vont être les premiers Š disparaître. Dans notre secteur, on est confrontés Š ces sujets depuis cinq, voire dix ans. On a du recul et on est capables de bien comprendre les dérives que ça entraîne.

So, all decks red alert. It seems for my future job I can't use but need to use either Mac or Windows.
I can't be assed to use that go back to that pile of sh*t that windows it nowadays and I have no experience with Mac and honestly don't want any.
So I guess Mac would be the choice, right? At least its said to be stable and most stuff can be done with the same shell.
I'm just a bit horrified by the outlook and would appreciate any tips on how to approach …
