Somewhat related, Teams on Ubuntu recently has stopped letting me use the left/right arrows to navigate around a message I've written. However, shift + arrow or control + arrow still work fine. Haven't had a chance to dig into why, but it's been mildly amusing.
I don't know how many Polish people who owned a Radeon card in the 2000s are there on HN but I'm sure they can all relate :-) as the card software would overwrite the key combination used to type the letter "ć" and open the Catalyst Control Center instead. Argh!

You can get into a similar state on MacOS by pressing a key multiple times in a row (option I think). It just quietly disables a large number of keys. I figured it out by accident one day because I assigned the key as my "push to talk" on Discord. That was a fun hour trying to figure out what had happened.
On MacOS if you remap your capslock to control there is a race condition on the login screen. If you use the control/capslock key to wake up your laptop and manage to time it right, you can enable capslock but not have a way to disable it (unless you remapped another key to capslock (why?)).

How would you remap the capslock key without using a hotkeys-like setup, such as Karabiner? I looked for a long time for a way to do that and couldn't figure it out.

Above a certain level of complexity, Jira is the best work tracking and managing solution I've worked with. Its curse, is its developed by Atlassian. A company that was capable of buying Stash, and, somehow, somewhat, turned that codebase into what we now know as bitbucket.
Other way around. They made Stash in house, they bought BitBucket, and rebranded Stash as BitBucket Server. The BB acquisition happened before Stash was released but Stash was not an acquisition.

If your org needs that much complexity it probably is at a point that the time and money wasted waiting for Jira todo things is probably small in comparison to the rest of the wasted efficiency.
The best part of Jira is because it is so flexible, no matter how your process slightly deviates from a basic trello-like board, you should be able to make one or two adjustments in JIRA and have it reflect that.
That's not true of literally any other workflow piece of software I've used, and I've used a ton.
That said, because all the other types of workflow management software I've used are significantly more opinionated and limited, they also limit how bad of a process a bad project administrator can create in them as well.

Getting a "Who's on First" vibe, but I can't quite make it into a real joke... - "I can't get a p, no matter what I do there's no p at all!" - "No p?" - "Nope!" - "Well if it's a no-op of course there's no p!" - "It's not a no-op, I'm telling you there's no p!"

Oh. My. God. I have been wondering why when I come back to my PC after it being asleep I've been on random squarespace login pages. I usually tap esc a couple of times to wake up my computer.
I learned years ago to use as “safe” a key as possible to wake up my computer, so I settled on Control. Wish I could remember what led me to that decision.
