Probably because a lot of people find programming fun. I am not convinced that people hold the same enthusiasm for customer service or sorting through recyclables, despite people generally agreeing that people need to be serviced and materials need to be recycled. And when I got slapped while working the register it definitely was not the fault of the exploitation inherent in the capitalist system. In fact I don't think I would have enjoyed it even if I directly pocketed every cent handed over to me as the fruit of my labor.

Jim Green Razorbacks are all leather and resolable with 3E width at $190. You have to sort out the waterproofing yourself though.

From that article it looks like this is supposed to be a joke and you're not actually supposed to hold such a position unironically.

Why is it not surprising? Are people with anime profile pics more gullible or ignorant than the average person?

We already have tools to rank titles and if it is AI slop, a low effort copycat game, the ratings will reflect this regardless of the tech that may or may not have been used.

It is not enough for me. I want to know if AI was involved so that I can avoid it even if it is good.

I have seen enough devices get kneecapped by the manufacturer after release to know that the FSF's viewpoint is the correct one.

If you don't make a conscious decision to disallow free software it becomes too easy to normalize its inclusion.

even prior to bookworm it wasn’t endorsed due to having the toggle in the first place, which I find super weird.

They probably predicted (correctly) that this attitude would eventually lead to the decision that they ultimately made in 2022.

You can use letters and symbols in windows hello pins.

You can use windows hello without biometrics.

I don't believe there is any particular advantage of linux insisting on password input for privilege escalation. Obviously there is no proof of this, but I suspect that the design of this privilege escalation flow in linux is at least partly caused by its popularity as a server OS, for example the UI flow for Windows UAC wouldn't work if you're trying to remotely administrate a server through the terminal.

Is Windows + UAC + no password secure?

It should be, in fact I believe that by default if your local admin account doesn't have a password set, remote logins and run-as is disabled for that account so you might even be able to argue that it is more secure. It's probably one of the reasons why Windows 11 comes with a recommended option to disable passwords and only authenticate through Windows Hello.
