So has Twitter, Youtube, Insta, Facebook and Lemmy.

Both. Depends on what you want to achieve

Probably also comes down to not many softwares deciding to fuck with system files.
Recently had a borked Win7 -> Win10 install that was unable to keep the Win11 upgrade stable.
After an update and reboot it stopped working.

Probable reason why: Some McAfee drive encryption driver embedded in the system files.
The drive wasnt encrypted. All files were externally readable by our backup software.
But removing the files from system32 borked the system and resulted in BSODs.

Is it this invasive on the mac side?

Fully overwriting an SSD is so archaic.

Example from hdparm:

--trim-sector-range
For Solid State Drives (SSDs). EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS. DO NOT USE THIS OPTION!! Tells the drive firmware to discard unneeded data sectors, destroying any data that may have been present within them. This makes those sectors available for immediate use by the firmware's garbage collection mechanism, to improve scheduling for wear-leveling of the flash media. This option expects one or more sector range pairs immediately after the option: an LBA starting address, a colon, and a sector count (max 65535), with no intervening spaces. EXCEPTIONALLY DANGER‐ OUS. DO NOT USE THIS OPTION!!

I think the all caps warnings say it all.
This is only for the trim sectors of the disk but I can’t imagine it being much different overwriting a whole disk.
Not to mention, as OP said, an old and very used disk.
Quick formatting should be enough to prevent any normal user from extracting meaningful data from the flash storage as only the controller knows how to piece together the flash cells to a file.
If the controller forgets it, the files are toast anyway.
At best write some random data to a quarter of the disk or something lile that.

File recovery may only be possible if you give it to a drive recovery facility. But remember: Those ain’t exactly cheap.
A client paid some 4 figure price because an HDD died. Just for a small amount of files.

Windows bad because I made a user error >:(

Hm…Weird way to shift blame.

Really? I am using Firefox on mobile (Android) and I’d say it’s pretty much fine for most of what I use it for.
Plugins (DarkReader, ublock, TWP) work very well and the overall experience is totally acceptable.
Recently even 3rd party passkey support was enabled, stopping google from intercepting the requests.

Wasnt aware of that. I believed they were an alternative to gitea, github, forgejo, sourceforge

You could do the DNS challenge instead.
That way you wouldnt even need to publish port 80.

If you know, why still use it?
Not like theres a bazillion other chrome browsers and you could probably use any other browser (depending on the add-ons you really need)

Another git repository that is not hosted on itself?
Seems like a weird choice.

That’s like the CEO from Microsoft going on stage with a MacBook.

YoForge

Read like “Science, bitch!”

OP may was a bit too direct with the question but just reading the question for what it is it’s just a request to know “What makes this important vs any other person doing the same?”

Not what he has done right now.
I mean in general what makes him notable?
Is he an important artist, does he engage in something meaningful, etc.

It would help to know why one should care as not everyone is in the know what this person is about.
