I think this article misrepresents things. They left out the worst stuff.

Fox marries Wolf's wife

Some applications don't have enough config entries to warrant support for nested entries

Some applications need variable-length data, and some even variable-length lists

Some applications don't care about having fast read/write times or a small memory footprint and can do with more complex formats that require the use of third-party libraries

Some embedded applications (e.g. AVR) don't have access to a whole lot of libraries

It's neither confirmed nor denied by the docs. However, the docs call the icons masks, which implies that lightness values of the pixels determine the opacity of the rendered color, since that's how masks work in photo editing software

Here's some further reading: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/launch/icon_design_adaptive

Icons can have different brightnesses, as long as they're monochrome

See https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/features#themed-app-icons

uBlock Origin hard mode is great

There is no best. It depends on the application

This is why I always strip everything after the '?' in a URL before sharing it (e.g. ?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=mobile&sender_web_id=7267504647052363269)

Of all the communities, you think this one is the most appropriate?

No, but Nightly has a Material You icon:

A bigger muffler would be quieter, though

You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.

Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.²

Memes can still inform (and misinform)

It's a deterrent. It reduces the odds of your window getting smashed and your ignition switch mangled. Your car should have an immobilizer anyway, and if it somehow doesn't, you can get a kill switch installed
