problem is the late stages of the game the password requirements change when your password's emojis start catching fire.

I was giving a nod to Alan Cooper's book "The Inmates Are Running the Asylum": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44098.The_Inmates_Are_Running_the_Asylum
The inmates are running the asylum.
Same reason tiktok and instagram reels are overlaid with that dumb wheezing laugh track.
Just a grammatical nitpick in the readme but as a compound adjective it would be 13-foot Ladder. "That ladder is 13 feet tall" vs "That is a 13-foot tall ladder".
Most people here (who didn't grow up in the US 50+ years ago) wouldn't give negative connotations to the software's name. I'm on the side that it is well divorced of an ableist meaning but that's where the disagreement lies and some people are making a big fuss over.
Should we stop using words like taser and amok as well for having historically racist associations despite being divorces of those meaning? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Swift_and_His_Electric_Rifle
Our language is littered with more "land mines" that we realize if we want to make land mines out of them.
Do you have evidence of that? That's not what I saw: https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#i-dont-like-the-name-gimp-will-you-change-it
I don’t like the name GIMP. Will you change it?
With all due respect, no. We’ve been using the name GIMP for more than 20 years and it’s widely known. The name was originally (and remains) an acronym; although the word “gimp” can be used offensively in some cultures, that is not our intent. On top of that, we feel that in the long run, sterilization of language will do more harm than good. GIMP has been quite popular for a long time in search engine results compared to the use of the word “gimp”. So we think we are on the right track to make a positive change and make “gimp” something people actually feel good about. Especially if we add all the features we’ve been meaning to implement and fix the user interface. Finally, if you still have strong feelings about the name “GIMP”, you should feel free to promote the use of the long form GNU Image Manipulation Program or exercise your software freedom to fork and rebrand GIMP.
WARS to my fellow Colemak users.
For some reason I first read the title as "journalists take to archiving their own hands" and thought this was some morbid kind of protest.
I like deadbeef because it reminds me of the foobar2k days. Very simple interface but behind the context menu is hidden tagging, replaygain editing, a robust plugin system, and all the more advanced features I need to keep my collection well groomed.
