It's not a general color for everything, it's more like a default color for things that could work with any color. Something you may use as the accent color on your phone, for example, if you go to the trouble of customizing that. Or even the protection cover for your phone itself.

Basically, some color that you find visually pleasing by itself and wouldn't mind using anywhere as long as it doesn't feel out of place.

    Eating Asian food using forks. Preparing meat well-done. Cutting pasta with a knife. Using cutlery when eating pizza. Basically everything that people say has a "right way" of eating. What difference does it make to you if you're not the one eating?

    They are fine now that a million other bands copied what they were doing and tried their best to improve on their formula. The fact their music is still fine today means it must have been out of this world back then.

    (I personally don't enjoy their music at all though)

    For me it's muscle memory. I've grown used to all sorts of features and shortcuts over time and I can work faster when I can use them freely without thinking about it. If I switch tools I need to adjust to everything that is different about it and that takes time - and I can't really develop muscle memory for two different tools, I need to forget one to get used to another.

    As a quick example: I've been using alt+arrow for two decades to navigate between individual words within variable names in camelCase. Every text editor I've used over time supported this as the OS itself implements it. Then comes VSCode with its own implementation overriding this and removing this capacity and then every time I need to navigate between words I'll either have to use a mouse, move one character at a time or even worse: press this shortcut I'm used to and trigger some other feature that is assigned to it that I didn't want to trigger.

    1. Scary to hear that it all started with someone trying to download Homebrew, but at the same time who the fuck clicks on Google ads when looking for development tools?
    2. I wish they would have given more details about how the hackers managed to spread from the second dev's machine into the third and fourth's, which they actually used in the end.

    What I never understood was why eventually the B letter stopped being used even on machines that had two floppy disk drives. I remember very clearly using the second floppy on E:, F: and sometimes even D:, but I've never seen it being used as B:.

    Was it reserved to some kind of swapping system that later became irrelevant with hard disks?

    A task list app that whenever you miss a deadline it picks a random contact from your phone and sends them a message (from you) calling them a shithead. If the same task is delayed multiple times it gets more and more rude in that message.
