But instead some racers or people who only look at the competition decide we must deliver faster...

Today I learned that Ubuntu now has Snapshot, as well as screenshot but that Snapshot shows up as Camera, though it didn't when it was called Cheese. This happened 2 years ago.

https://apps.apple.com/de/app/animated-knots-by-grog/id376302649
It has detailed explanations of almost 200 knots, and animations on how to tie all of them.

It hasn’t been updated for years, because it’s basically done. I bought it once for the price of a coffee, and now I just use it whenever I need something more than my 3 standard knots.

(I have dyslexia-but-for-ropes, and this is the only way I can learn new knots.)

There is no reason for my fridge, toaster or oven to have a microcontroller. Really, we've been doing these things a century and today we seem to default to adding microcontrollers to everything.
