For a large ERP-like back-office where leadership didn't want to use an existing reactive framework, I definitely ended up recreating built on top of jQuery ( at the start of the project IE still needed to be supported ).

Once you start adding dynamic forms for managing multiple items of different kinds, dashboards, error states, i18n, etc, you either end up with a homegrown framework, or with a lot of spaghetti.

That would mean that, even with a long 100 year lifespan, a person would only experience up to 6 minutes of shift. I feel that's a relatively low value.

Oh, I'm not trying to defend Microsoft in any way. Everything they make has been going downhill faster and faster. Just suggesting a possible way to work around it.

I've found that ( at least for me ) that was caused by some entries doing some checks before showing up. Getting a context menu editor and removing some of them can help.

Yeah that's a fair point.

You can actually restore the old right-click menu on W11 with some regedit. Not ideal in any way, and a setting would have been a much better way to toggle this, but it is an option.

On Waterfox. Image displays fine.
To be clear. This information is not hidden. Every receipt you receive will have the VAT % of each individual item written down, and VAT % of certain kinds of items are often discussed as part of regular politics and very present on public consciousness.
Steam OS is very much just a general purpose OS. It easily allows you to switch to desktop mode and just use it as a regular linux PC. It just boots into steam by default.

You do realize that "gay man", "transvestite", "drag queen", and "trans woman" are all different things right?

None of them implies the others. And using any term besides trans woman would be disingenuous, as trans people existed before before 1969, with that exact nomenclature already existing. Just because the letters might not have been attached to an "LGBT" title, neither T or Q are new. Only their increased acceptance and knowledge is.

And deleting references to those is, as you can see, seen as an obvious attempt to walk back on that public perception and acceptance.

While ( as often is ) a very summarized version of the history can be found on the wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_history , the sources should lead you to more detailed info, if you do care about learning about the historical accuracy.

Not really, no, especially considering the involvement of trans people in the event itself.

For example, see the section regarding "Zazu Nova" on the current page

Assuming you're actually arguing in good faith, the "erasing" bit has been quite obvious and blatant.

Removing people from information about a historical event doesn't look good under any lens.
