CachyOS was the one who moved me from Ubuntu/Debian based distros.

Can also mean annoying. As a general recommnedation, before naming a project or company something, always search whether it means something bad in the top 10 most spoken languages.

For portuguese/spanish, there is always a high chance of being a slang that is NSFW

In many countries it's already impossible to use just the web for banking. They either make you install rootkits on your computer or move you to their mobile apps

Governament contracts are very restricted behind layers of certifications and authorizations.

For example, you can't freely produce missiles and have it in wallmart where "the governament" purchase at shelf price.

A 18 Tb NAS harddrive is about 320 USD. A 2 bay unifi unas2 199. It pays off in one year. Restoring data from it is free.

Why would Valve help Apple get marketshare (in the gaming category), when they can put the same effort into getting the games published to Linux (and the Steam Deck).

They don't have a separate addon marketplace. The browser may still support the API but distributing the addon will be a problem.

It's amazing how SoundCloud had "everything" and they threw away. They had the unique Indy artists, they had the DJs and music producers, and they opted to move to compete with Spotify on a money loosing bet, without putting the effort to build the Player in at least every single platform supported.

They did even more harm to themselves by blocking open source players that were doing "their work for free".

If there is one big mistake they did early on was to block API access. The other one was to bet on "record labels contract" rather then becoming the source for Originals.

Outcompete them. Do more, do better, do faster

Last names are also not limited to ASCII. There all sorts of special caracters depending on the language like üáàãéèç-' (the single quote is specially important because its normally blocked due to SQL injection, but its a common character in italian/french/spanish names).

Preventing people from writing their own names because you decide to use a regexp from stackoverflow is also bad.
