Its all because RMS decided to eat that thing from his foot that one time. The world just couldn't stomach GNU/Linux after that. :P

Isn't Android technically GNU/Linux? It has Linux kernel, but I am not sure about the GNU.

the average phone has software with virtually every existing oss-license within and noone cares.

I miss those good times when developers were given freedom to do things like these.

Except that it increases software complexity, possibly bugs as well as security vulnerabilities. I definitely don’t won’t this kind of “features” in software I use.

Yep worked for a pretty large company and they had a (capable), high ranking dev guy who was prone to add easter eggs in the UI. Konami code would cause something to fly across the screen etc. The live product was taken down twice due to these easter eggs.

There are no more easter eggs.

Gen X-ers and Older Millennials will request to be put on hold again just to jam out to that Windows 3.1 nostalgia.

I learned the other day that there's an in-between called Xennials.

Ah, the many eras of corporate music. Canyon.mid exemplifies the late 80s / early 90s aesthetic - gets me fired up to optimize my multimedia strategy. The current era is mostly inspiring 4 chord repetitions with muted guitar and piano, with B-roll of cinematic nature footage and racially diverse businesspeople shaking hands. Also jaunty ukulele riffs with dance claps and some kind of "oh oh ayy-oh" vocal hook. What c…

Isn’t the ukulele thing straight from Israel Kamakawiwo`ole’s take on “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, or a bleak imitation thereof?

I want my 60s-70s orchestral muzak back. Complete with grainy 24fps footage of sunny cities with enormous futuristic-looking business centers and viaducts, successful-looking smiling people riding those ginormous cars to work. Keith Mansfield, David Lindup, Alan Hawkshaw. Big names of library music.

The synthwave era in comparison sounds somewhat decadent. But I like it too.

Since when does a song require singing..?

It's literally in the name

Words can expand from their original meanings, you know. Look at any music player or just everyday speech, you'll see "song" being used to refer to a discrete unit of music in the same way you could use "track" or "tune".

The infinite four chord inspiration sound is quite dreadful (shame on you, Hans Zimmer), but I do hope we never revert to the times of KPMG, we're strong as can be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCvKXgp-Awo. If you haven't heard it, first prepare some ear bleach before you click.
