I am merely commenting on your takeaway that this somehow means that some cultures see schizophrenia as "friendly", which does absolutely does not follow from the fact that the "mostly, the voices are good".
I would also think that this is likely due to cultural differences and in many cases probably adds to the problem.

From the full Article:
"People suffering from psychotic illness continue to hold multi-explanatory models. The cultural, religious and social explanatory models are predominant in non-western cultures."
"Limited evidence suggests that traditional belief models affect [duration of untreated psychosis], and explanatory models based on spiritual and social causes of illness may result in delayed presentations for professional help."
That should not be your conclusion from the article.
"the voices" are hardly the only symptom that people with schizophrenia suffer from. A lot of those affected don't have auditory hallucinations at all and are still suffering from one of the (if not the) most debilitating mental disorders out there.
Calling it "friendly" risks trivialising of the very real symptoms.
Ruff isn’t stable yet either and has evolved into the de facto standard for new projects. It has more than double the amount of rules than Pylint does. Also downloaded more than 3 times as often as Pylint in the past month.
Pylint has some advantages, sure, but Ruffs adoption speaks for itself. Pylint is 25 years old. You’d hope they do some things better.
Saying that uv is their only winner is a hilarious take.
Macbook Neo is also 219ppi vs Surface Laptop at 178ppi. We’ll see about performance, but i’d expect the macbook to be on par or better.
I don’t think CLI and GUI applications are the only software people write. Swift is a great backend language.
SwiftUI is something entirely different and not trying to be cross-platform at all.
Privacy needs to be an absolute right. Any invasion of privacy of any individual is a violation of their rights and needs to be treated as such with actual repercussions following misconduct.
While prevalence IS higher for depression and anxiety, most people have not experienced depression or anxiety and will not in their life.
Lifetime prevalence of depression is 10-20% worldwide, depending on the studies. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-21243-x
Anxiety prevalence is a little higher but also not experienced by a majority. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.31887/DCNS.2015.17.3...
People that have not experienced anxiety and depression can not relate.
Depression and anxiety are not amplified version of emotions. They are not on the same spectrum.
Comparing the disorders makes no sense and only helps stigma.
