iirc sudo has a bunch of quotes to spit out when an incorrect password is typed. Gentoo exposes that feature with the offensive USE flag.

tbf, and I'm saying this as a Firefox user, some of the comments about Firefox here make me wanna just
The loudest parts of the userbase can change the perceptions of software to outsiders, very much like fandoms.
FWIW, Kbin does have some microblogging capabilities - used it a little before joining this instance. I know magazines can have a dedicated microblogging community. I feel like it's a decent equivalent to Reddit live chats.
Same. Not to mention that there's window managers in development if people prefer that. Some examples I know include Sway for those who want something like i3, Wayfire for those who miss Compiz and Hyprland for a more polished tiled experience. Hyprland in particular I'd recommend as I've personally had no luck with X.org compositors like Picom - didn't work with my GPU.
Well for one, if a feature is implemented in Atproto, it'll be implemented for the entire federated network. With ActivityPub, there's inconsistency with the features (You still need Glitch-soc if you want Mastodon with text formatting, for instance) and, while yes it's cool that I can talk to Lemmy from my Mastodon account, it's quite a clunky experience IMO and shouldn't be a selling point to the regular user who just wants to post about what they're doing.
I'll try to explain to the best of my ability, from having used both and figuring things out.
On Atproto, the federation is very much more on the backend, where the Personal Data Servers are interlinked and people access the protocol through bsky.app or some other app they wish to use. They have started rolling out the infrastructure to allow federation between different PDSs and have started moving user data to them. They've made for a more predictable, consistent federated experience (which has been a criticism of the ActivityPub's fediverse), and allowed for a more resilient infrastructure, but unfortunately it's limited to what Bluesky wants which is just microblogging while ActivityPub is more flexible (see: Mastodon, Lemmy, Funkwhale, PeerTube, Wordpress, etc.) but has the cultural issue of people treating their instance like their own personal forum and not a critical part of the fediverse's infrastructure.
There was a petition for the UK Parliament to implement what this politician wants by requiring verification for accounts (Piers Morgan was endorsing it iirc), and I believe a petition to not implement it under the pretense of it harming transgender individuals (e.g. deadnaming, having to come out to a stranger for verification).
Parliament did respond saying such legislation would stifle the freedom of expression, which is true, but it doesn't matter when the UK has other legislation doing the same thing.
all this just to find the person with a Vegeta avatar that clowned on them on Twitter or whatever
Sometimes I wonder what the big hold-up was. I remember NVIDIA wanted one type of renderer while the rest working on Wayland went the other way.
Depends. Steam and Proton handles most games and if not, I'll check Lutris. FWIW, some games like Doom and RollerCoaster Tycoon (the Sawyer, 2D era) have open-source remakes that work on modern machines.
For regular software, I will try it in WINE and if it provides a good enough experience for daily use, I'll keep it there. If it doesn't, for any reason, I'll stick it in a Windows VM. For instance, Exact Audio Copy will work fine in WINE provided you get .NET 3.5 installed for the MusicBrainz metadata plugin, but MusicBee has severe enough problems (font redirection problems, lag when scrolling, can't drag tabs) for me that I just use it in a virtual machine or another PC. (I actually have another rig I'm considering using as a "jukebox" machine, since I have macOS on it and use it for Apple Music, so I'm compartmentalising my music to one machine if that makes sense)
NVIDIA has been notoriously problematic with Wayland from what I heard. When I bought my current rig I made sure AMD was powering the graphics.
