Unfortunately what is needed are tests of driving ability. Most over-70s are significantly worse than the average driver and some are so dangerous they shouldn't be on the road at all.

Politically very difficult to take people's licences away though, especially when it's permanent, not their fault and it makes their life a lot worse.

Fairly regularly an 80-something will end up driving down the wrong carriageway of a motorway or dual carriageway. Fairly regularly this results in deaths.

Why not just use Ok/Error which is an accepted idiom and shorter than Success/Failure?

I see this so often in new languages, making poor choices seemingly only to distinguish themselves from existing languages

Every single 'it was better in the X0s' is actually 'i want a tween/young teenager in the X0s'.

Everything else is post hoc rationalization

Really? It’s interesting how much I see this take online. I never see people saying this IRL.

This is true, and I think a good indicator of its truth is that basically all generations agree about it. Even Gen Z, who weren’t alive at the time.

This should surprise nobody. Do you really think that the intelligence agencies of the US etc would allow mainstream E2E encryption? Please stop being so naive
