Re:GitHub CLI now collects pseudoanonymous telemetry

But collecting data and looking for insights doesn't mean you mechanically optimize features, especially user-hostile ones? This is just as, if not more, likely to happen when basing your decisions on what people say they want over what they actually do.

The "all calories are the same" statement doesn't mean that all foods with the same caloric values satiate you the same, and no one has ever claimed that. In fact it's very common knowledge; the entire basis of diets like keto that remove carbs, the least satiating of the marcos per calorie.
The only thing hormones can affect is your maintenance requirement, meaning you can gain weight if your body chooses to store the calories instead of burning them for whatever reason, even while eating the same as always.

GP probably meant he would've relied on chatgpt instead of the help of a kind user to get the same info, not that he would actually post it here.

Luxury brands do in fact intentionally destroy old stock to make sure their value doesn't drop due to excess supply. I suppose the next step is making everything extremely limited like hypercars?

To play devil's advocate a bit, Ferrari won both championships in 2007 and the constructors in 2008, so it's hard to say they were robbed when they actually won. Massa though, is another story.

While I agree with you, the registry is the windows way of hiding away config files. It's either the GUI, or it's the registry.
Linux alternatively uses config files directly meant to be altered by the end user. It's less user-friendly, but better than the registry.
The real crime is having a registry in the first place instead of a .config directory.

While this is true for simpler games, the author mentions the possibility where we aren't able to hit the target of 60 FPS or whatever, and we get physics spikes on slower computers.
