Those companies can’t even stop their stuff from using em-dashes, so I unironically wish them good luck, they’ll need it

Linux From Scratch?

As a computer science student, I haven’t met anyone that didn’t use terminal on Mac. I am heavily biased.

Also, I think ping is actually very useful for a normal user. Not nearly as useful as (any) office software, but still.

Racism

Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race or ethnicity over another. It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different ethnic background.

From Wikipedia

a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

From Merriam-Webster

harmful or unfair things that people say, do, or think based on the belief that their own race makes them more intelligent, good, moral, etc. than people of other races

From Cambridge dictionary

As for Woke

Since I can’t see the limit on the start-up capital, I remember UN making a plan to end world hunger for measly 6.6B$ after Elon said he’d sell stocks and fund it if they did so. So yeah, I’d fund that.

I remember hearing some time ago that mobile games give you progressively cheap “special deals” to make you buy anything from them, as that makes future purchases way more probable

I imagine it’s similar here - “Oh, you didn’t buy any games recently? But what if they went on sale?”

Exile?

Imagine if that accidentally started banning all things Microsoft related due to some misalignment

While I do not wish for it to happen due to many real people possibly losing their real source of income, it would be quite fun hell to observe
