The problem is there are many middleboxes that monitor port 443 and will drop any traffic that they can't decode as TLS (which in this case means TLS 1.2 or below). The choice was between masking traffic as an earlier version of TLS or forcing the replacement of all of those middleboxes. It's a no-brainer.
I don't know, I don't think it's really a huge waste of time considering I just read the entire comment thread in a handful of minutes. And beyond that, failing to comply with RFC requirements is the bug here -- a workaround existing for a specific language isn't a fix.
The ruling itself even says that every case has to be taken in context, and that particular one was a known felon who has been accused of a crime fleeing in a vehicle. As a matter of fact, if you look at the decision [1] you won't find the word "defense" once, only "fleeing".

Don't even need an entertainment cluster, give me a place to put a tablet or a phone and just have a bluetooth speaker.
I think this is more or less the pitch behind Slate (https://www.slate.auto/en), though it's more of a truck/SUV form factor.
I'm still bitter that they never refunded me for my canceled pre-order, despite promising to at the time. It's been years and I never got any money back (or a phone, for that matter). I consider Purism to be an untrustworthy business as a result.

Well. Yes? Maybe I'm assuming too much, but I feel like the target audience here (terminal emulator 'enthusiasts') either know about this already or are totally willing to go over to the manual to read what it is. The very first section upon opening the documentation explains it succinctly: Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration.
The title of the post isn't exactly inaccurate either. If we assume titles can be the subject matter, "Why Tolkien Hated Dune" is the subject being discussed isn't it? It's not like the author titled it "Here is why Tolkien hated Dune".
It eliminates a wide variety of sources of error, including user ignorance but also possible issues with colorblindness, poor lighting conditions, or a positive result that's not as easy to discern with the naked eye.
I don't use it, but I figure it's just a matter of most people being too lazy to polish up their own equivalent, so they'll use someone else's.
