master over main

That one is the most stupid one too, because master in git doesn't even refer to a master/slave relationship. It refers to a different meaning of the word master, namely "an original from which copies can be made", as in master recording or master key. See 5b in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. And that's how it's used in git: any new branches are derived from master. Main just does not have the same nuance, because it does not imply a relationship between the branches, just that it's somehow more important than the others.

But of course, the real reason it was changed is because for companies like github it's easier to give in to the crazies who demand this than to fight them.

It's often due to the security department following outdated standards. Nowadays NIST recommends the following:

Verifiers SHOULD NOT impose other composition rules (e.g., requiring mixtures of different character types or prohibiting consecutively repeated characters) for memorized secrets. Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secrets to be changed arbitrarily (e.g., periodically). However, verifiers SHALL force a change if there is evidence of compromise of the authenticator.

That said, the company I work for violates all of the above rules ...

That's a readline thing by the way, so it doesn't just work in bash but also works with other cli applications that are compiled with readline support, for example virsh, psql, fdisk, ...

Reminds me of when I got into an argument with my English teacher in highschool. On a test we had to translate some words from Dutch to English, and she marked me down because I translated "aap" as "ape" intead of "monkey". I had to remind her that the movie "Planet of the Apes" exists.

LOL, what the fuck is this?

It's also closed source, and the developer has like 30 of the most generic trash apps on the snapstore: https://snapcraft.io/publisher/keshavnrj. My advice would be to stay away from this. Looks shady as hell.

I guess the playstorification of flathub and the snapstore has begun.

No 7 sucked too. It just came off the back of Vista which was a real hot mess, so 7 appeared better.

The thing is, Microsoft has always had an adversarial (or abusive) relationship with its customers, forcing things on them that most of them don't want. Like active desktop and IE integration in Windows 9x, "activation" and Fisher Price UI in XP, bloated (for the time) Aero UI that required a 3D capable GPU in Vista, UAC in Vista, forced automatic updates in 7, abandoning the start menu in favor of that awful tile UI in 8.x, telemetry you can't disable in 10, a start menu that acts more like an app store and advertising place in 10, forced TPM and Microsoft accounts in 11 ... the list is endless. And then when they back down on one thing, people are like: "Hurray, the czar heard us! Windows is actually good now!" ... forgetting all the other things they have been forced to swallow in the past.

No. They're all bad, some are just worse than others. You've all just been stockholm syndromed into thinking better of the "less bad" ones.

The new plasma-systemmonitor is garbage. The UI is very clunky, and it's missing a lot of sensors that were visible with its predecessor ksysguard, for example network sensors are entirely missing for a lot of people, and nobody knows how to fix it. I think it's beyond fixable to be honest, they should dump it and create something new.

For the time being I use ksysguard6, a port of the old ksysguard that's been fixed to work with plasma 6.

For example, the octa-core Ryzen 7 9700X is much more efficient than the 7700X

This has been proven untrue by several reputable reviewers, like Gamers Nexus.

I think being interested in your own weird little niches is wonderful.

That's a judgement too btw, but a positive one.
