Relocation programs could help those people, albeit at the cost of decivilizing these places.

Apple is still tracking you, they just aren't as donkey-brained as Microsoft.
What is the main motivation for inflating grades? Is it simply to avoid the appearance of failure when a student receives a low mark?
A simple linear scale to a feel-good range could avoid those feelings of failure while retaining the ability to differentiate by aptitude. Instructors grade using the old 0-100 system, then scale the grade to the new range.
For instance, if the target feel-good range is 80-100, scores under the old 0-100 system become:
100 --> 100/5 + 80 = 100.0
90 --> 90/5 + 80 = 98.0
67 --> ... = 93.4
50 --> ... = 90.0
21 --> ... = 84.2
0 --> ... = 80.0
I give them all Warhammered Latin hostnames like TABULARIUM-MAGNUS.
Same, there are so many people that I must enjoy the satisfaction of outliving.
Mostly just different algorithms that can achieve greater compaction under different data circumstances.
There are an infinite number of compression algorithms. The trick is to find ones that result in a smaller file for the data you have, which will have some non-random pattern to it.
The choices we think of today (gz, bz2, zstd, etc.) are fairly general purpose, but sometimes you find a data file that compresses significantly more with a particular algorithm.
There's no logic being applied. This is just sports mentality in tech. Like spaces vs. tabs, Emacs vs. vim, Python vs. R, or one of countless others.
But could you imagine if you created a digital standard used by billions everyday and then most people refused to pronounce the name you gave it? Same energy given off by the "anti pronoun" crowd.
The free software movement is actually inherently political. Much of modern digital infrastructure is built using tools / software that embodies collectivist ideologies. I would be very surprised if the Lemmy developers even claimed that they created Lemmy in some sort of apolitical clean room (not that it is even possible).
For some of them. The others say "Not officially supported".
Enjoy the ride! I too have been building PCs for a long time (since the 90s in my case) and went down the rabbit hole of NAS / self hosting starting about 7 years ago.
In that time I went from a Bitfenix Portal SFF case, to a Deep Silence 6, to an 18U cabinet... so fun and lots of learning.
