I've used various Linux distress on a half dozen laptops over rhe last 10 years and I've never had Wi-Fi driver issues

apt remove sudo

sudo is not installed on several distributions by default, so hardly surprising it's not there or that you can remove it.

There is no dropping out, and there's no replacement. All political donations have been to the Biden campaign, it is illegal to transfer those funds to a new candidate. The only person who could run for president in his place is Kamala, since she is the other person on the ticket.

It's extremely clear no one talking has any clue how any of this shit works.

Well yeah, 100% of programming errors are programmers fault.

Most can't, but that's why clandestine cyber-intelligence firms like NSO group exist.

Always remember, the silicon valley ethos of "break things" wasn't about their applications, it was about breaking industry, society, laws and your ability to oversee or regulate them.

the tests are now larger than the thing itself

Is such a weird complaint. You should aim for your codebase to be as small, simple and readable as possible, while your tests should be a specification that guarantees behavior is consistent between refactors. When you add behavior, you add tests, when you remove a behavior, you delete tests.

The size of either is independent of eachother. Small code bases that provide lots of features should be simple to read, but with a lot of tests.

I've programmed C# for nearly 15 years, and have used goto twice . Once to simplify an early break from a nested loop, essentially a nested continue. The second was to refactor a giant switch statement in a parser, essentially removing convoluted while loops, and just did a goto the start.

It's one of those things that almost should never be used, but the times it's been needed, it removed a lot of silliness.

Also some fun takeaways: it also makes external calls to azure to load configuration and stays silent after updating for 2 weeks before showing warnings.

Moq is unusable. Needs to be forked or repoaced. Time to switch to NSubstitute.
