Surely they'll be flying off the shelves in no time. Because a 200€ price hike for just the hardware of a dying 2020 platform is just what people asked for.

Microsoft is complicit in these hardware prices, they're the ones driving up the prices with their AI datacenters nobody wants. They have tons of hardware rotting in a warehouse somewhere just because they wanted to snatch it from competitors. God I hope they choke on this bullshit, they're such a shit force in both computing and gaming

preaching doesn’t necessarily cross a line

It doesn't matter. A steward can ask you to return to your seat and be quiet and doesn't have to give a single reason. And if you don't comply they can have the plane land immediately to get you removed just because you didn't follow their orders. And when asked, they can just say that the passenger's behavior was distracting them from their safety related duty

resolved is entirely optional and disabled by default, I use it on case of non-mobile devices but leave it on laptops etc.

DNS resolution isn't something exotic, it makes sense for systemd to implement it in a simple optional daemon

"Wir müssen dann sicherlich über eine allgemeine Dienstpflicht nachdenken, nicht nur über Wehrpflicht."

Das haben übrigens auch gut ausgebildete Menschen getan, nämlich die Wissenschaftlichen Dienste des Deutschen Bundestages! Und die sind (mehrmals) zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass eine allgemeine Dienstpflicht gegen mehrere Gesetze verstößt, unter anderem Artikel 4 der Menschenrechtskonvention, welcher Zwangsarbeit verbietet und nur für Wehrpflicht eine Ausnahme zulässt (für welche wiederum ein Ersatzdienst zulässig ist).

"Die Wehrpflicht kann nicht auf Knopfdruck wieder aktiviert werden"

Aber immerhin ist sie bereits Gesetz und im Einklang mit geltendem Recht, was man von seiner Idee nicht behaupten kann

It's Stockholm syndrome

I mean who doesn't like putting mandatory quotes around all variables (though exceptions, like in [[ ... ]], apply)?

Or keywords like fi and esac or worrying about $IFS

I like it (am actually sponsoring) but I'm not sure development is still active. I hope the author finds the time and energy to work on it again it's someone else picks it up

Almost nobody cares about these features for new shells. POSIX compatibility in my opinion is an anti-feature for interactive shells; for scripts, use the shell referenced in the shebang. There are even newer POSIX compatible shells like oil if you want one of these.

Garfield seems to have similar rules. Garfield can talk to all other animals just fine, except possibly Odie. The only reason Odie is an exception is that Odie seems to never actually "talk" other than the occasional barking episode. Odie also completely ignores, or cannot hear a thing that Garfield is saying.

I recently posted a picture from the Garfield Halloween story (Garfield in Disguise / Halloween Adventure) where both of these are different; Garfield shares with Odie that he won't share treats with him, to which Odie reacts by talking. Granted it's from the German version, but still. He must have at least understood in the original judging by the facial expression.
