I can see why they ignored it for so long: having multiple places to put dot files for a single app is irritating.
Not nearly as irritating as having dozens of random dot subdirectories in the root of your home directory.
The first issue costs a few developers a few days of their time to fix. The second is a problem that nags millions of users for eternity.
Because at this rate, by my math, the number of AI cores Google requires will exceed the number of atoms in the visible universe within about 120 years.
MacOS has its own barriers to calling itself a professional operating system. A good part of my job is forcing it to conform to basic enterprise system management practices.
Calling them names and leveling false accusations at them is kind of the exact opposite of ignoring them in peace. Unless that's what brings you peace, in which case you're the mentally ill fuckup in that equation.
Demanding that people who are different from you to explain themselves to your satisfaction before you're willing to leave them the hell alone is peak conservative asshole.
I can manufacture outrageous events from my imagination and then extrapolate that fiction into a nation-wide systemic problem too!
Too many schools are underfunded and too many teachers are overwhelmed with large class sizes, behavioral and disciplinary challenges, lack of administrative support and in-class assistance, and disinterested, unhelpful parents (who are working 2-3 jobs, often at night, and are themselves exhausted and burned out)
The US already pays more per student than just about any other country on the planet for education and we do not get the results.
No, the problem isn't money......
The pandemic opened A LOT of peoples' collective eyes as to what was really going on in classrooms that parents didn't have a clue about.
Encouragement of trans....grade school kids exposed to information on anal sex and how a boy can give a blow job were the most egregious examples....but just sets values that didn't set with what parents in general in the US want to impart to their kids.
the US population is generally middle of the road and you screeching green haired instructor is pushing stuff from the far left in many cases.
Parent's saw this and are putting a stop to it.
Frankly I can't blame them.
What I typically do is leave in the no-name AAA alkaline batteries that the remote came with, and it works for a couple of years until I move on to newer gear.
Then after I've left it idle for 15 years, I'll come back and open the remote to discover that the batteries have leaked all over the inside and destroyed it.
A method of solution is perfect if we can forsee from the start, and even prove, that following that method we shall attain our aim. -- Leibnitz
