sudo-rs Breaks Historical Norms With Now Enabling Password Feedback By Default

On recent builds of Ubuntu 26.04 when being prompted by sudo for the password, password feedback is now enabled by default to show asterisk (*) characters when inputting your password

@derdreschi85 just disable it, or better don't use #ubuntu

Good, to be honest. I do support for a lot of Linux users without much experience, and this is a constant pain point for them.

@maat Debian is not using sudo-rs but sudo displays password feedback there too.

And of course it can be disabled on Debian too.
