I don't think feature parity is the only problem here. Power users need information density and quick reactivity, two things that the new settings – with their huge buttons and useless animations – dearly lack.

I wonder if there would be a way to "embed" those old panel applets into the new settings somehow.

And if you can do it, it's complicated and convoluted. I miss Win32 settings panels, everything was so well organized and simple to manage.

I used to love HowToGeek, but I sadly see that now that's also enshittified (not the article you linked, but the most recent ones).

Kagi seems very promising but it's paid. Most people will never pay for a search engine.

Be the change you want to see in the world, send an email asking for IPv6.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, it depends on how you see it), some providers are already on IPv6. My Italian ISP has IPv6 with CGNAT, so all its users are on IPv6 without even knowing what it is.

So similar yet so different :)

Yes, neutral and masculine were similar, and they just collapsed into one.

I speak Italian, which works similarly to French. The male form is called the "non-marked" form, while the female is "marked". It means that if you use the female form, you're actually talking about women, otherwise it may be anyone. So, the real inclusive form would be to just use the male form.

It's because both Italian and French come from Latin. Latin used to have three forms: male, female and neutral. The neutral and male form were very similar, so during the evolution from Latin to modern languages, the two forms collapsed into one.

Same in Italian.

Italian is heavily gendered, even inanimate objects have genders. A chair? It's a female. A door? It's a male.

It's not easy to modify a language; some people on the internet are trying using stars and other non-letters, but the result is ridiculous and nobody actually speaks like that in real life.

Recent versions of sudo changed that message and now I'm sad 😢
