As a control center of an OS it makes sense.

However, I can also understand that for some, words like DUX or Führer have a specific connotation based on where they are from, especially if it becomes personal...

Don't be silly! Driver is normally translated with Fahrer. No one today uses Führer... Maybe only a person born in 1929...

Nice try, but not convincing... . If in Germany you find a wall writing with Führer on it, there is 100% only one thing it can mean.

> This legitimizes future missions/spending on life searching missions to the Martian surface.

How about spending money to get clean drinking water to the whole humanity (and other living creatures) here on earth first?

They found molecules on Mars? Great, now we know that Mars is made out of different materials. But we knew that before we sent a lonely Rover over there.

Wake me up if they find ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Without ATP no life.

These horses have similar markings as the wild Kiger Mustangs in Oregon.

Kiger Mustangs are a distinct, protected population of wild, free-roaming horses found in the Steens Mountain region of southeastern Oregon. They are descendants of early Spanish horses and are known for their dun-colored markings.

Swift != GC

This! Also, for new APIs Apple reduces (or does not provide) Objective-C documentation.

I really tried to love Swift, but in the end I ended up with 1 project using Swift/SwiftUI, and all the other apps I started to write, I rewrote in Zig or Rust, because the Swift compiler kept giving me vague error messages with no hint which Swift file was the culprit or/and which line/column the error was.

YMMV

Suppose that when someone is retired, there is more time doing stuff, but time is running out…

If someone is in their 30’ or 40’ planning to work the next 5+ years on a project is no problem, even if it takes 10+ years in the end.

For the ones over 65 or older, it’s a different story…

Xgo

Is Asahi Linux alive?

If I remember correctly, in old UNIX desktop environments apps still ran after closing the last app window.

This is not a macOS issue, it’s an app developer issue. If the app developer likes the behavior that the app still runs after closing the last app window, this is how the app will act. Some newer Apple apps close the application when the window is closed.

To switch the app/window closing behavior… there is an API for that.
