It will all break in time.

These things that look like institutions, that look like bricks carved from granite, are just spinning plates that have been spinning for a few years.

When I fight glibc dependency hell across Ubuntu 22 and Ubuntu 24, I sympathize with Firefox choosing to spin the 64-bit plates and not the 32-bit plates.
