Hell yeah! ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ (Or should I say, "o, fyn uffern ia!")

The Welsh word for this would be gwrthryfelwr (insurgent, rebel).

Ever heared of the French nuns that caught a case of mass hysteria and started meowing like cats? I'll quote a section about it on Wikipedia:

In The Epidemics of the Middle Ages, an 1844 collection of works written by J. F. C. Hecker (and translated by Benjamin Guy Babington), a translator's note by Babington, citing an unnamed medical textbook, recalls the story of a nun who lived in a French convent during an unspecified time (presumably in the Middle Ages) who inexplicably began to meow like a cat, shortly leading the other nuns in the convent to meow as well. Eventually, all of the nuns in the convent would meow together for a certain period, leaving the surrounding community astonished. This did not stop until the police threatened to whip the nuns.

The weird thing is that homosexuality was decriminalised in Turkey in 1858 (compare that to 1967 in the UK), yet in 2020 they found that 57% of Turks oppose accepting it in society, and the government is and has always been very queerphobic.

If the windows snap on a grid similar to iPadOS (I don't have a Mac anymore), I could see it being handy as a pseudo tiling window manager. But if they don't snap, then yeah it's just reinventing the wheel, with virtual desktops already being a thing.
