It's not factually wrong, but it implies that this is something specific to Git, and possibly might even be interpreted that it is Git's fault.

In reality it's macOS shipping the outdated certificates, and it affects various other command-line tools, like Curl.

It's certainly possible, but I'd say the evidence fits the opposite explanation more: if it was not for business purposes, why do it on your work machine, during working hours, with your work email address in the User-agent?

The report seems to claim the opposite:

I believe git has a setting to auto-convert to CRLF on checkout and back to LF on commit, so that could also be partially to blame.

I'm not sure I would call that "adoption", so much as "compatibility with", since the default line ending produced by Windows software is still almost always \r\n for files created from scratch.

Sorry, can you clarify about Microsoft having adopted \n? This is the first time I hear of it, and I can't find anything online about it.

I believe this has been around for a while; it's probably just been rolled out to more regions (Germany, France, and Italy, according to the article).

It's annoying, but thankfully it's a single checkbox in the settings to disable it (uncheck "Suggestions from sponsors").

100 W sockets? All the flights I've been on that provided power have had a really low current USB A port that can barely keep my phone from discharging when the screen is on.

Try traveling abroad with a prepaid data SIM (or limited roaming data allowance).

Plenty of websites already have comically huge pointless images (often then scaled down to tiny sizes for display). No need to make the problem worse.

Even though it's called "T9 Speed Test", it seems to default to T9 being off, and you have to actually click on the T9 link at the top right to enable it. Really confusing at first!

It's not real Python. It's essentially a made-up language that resembles a subset of Python.

That said, if I was building a small ugly toy Python implementation, I would probably also not implement long integers. Or the power operator. At least not in the first iteration.

Ah I understand now, thank you, my mistake.

It doesn't matter if you're losing money on paper, since the fee is on sales, not profit.
