Historical reasons I believe and also because packages are signed. Though there's been a few vulnerabilities that have made TLS (IMHO) a necessity. As well as just preventing snooping. Modern debian and apt should support TLS out of the box now.
If you use a package that depends on pyside2, then you might be stuck. You could try building pyside2 with a modified PKGBUILD. This seems like a bug/difference in behavior with paru: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru/issues/1377
If you're adventurous, you could use another package management tool. Not familiar with garuda though.
Or maybe wait until paru developers possibly change their tool, or the AUR package happens to change to work around paru behavior?
Funny to see this today. I had moved a repo from an old Mac laptop to linux months ago, and git couldn't find the ref to HEAD, because HEAD was pointing to the case insensitive branch name, and it didn't match the case of the branch. Manually edited HEAD to the correct case to fix it. I should probably recreate the repo for good measure..
I've been using bose 700s for a long time. They do occasionally have goofy bluetooth behavior and the earcups have to be replaced if you use them heavily, but the bose sound profile I like a lot more than the sony.
I've tried XM5's recently for more codecs, and I love them except for one thing, which was that the band over the top had hard plastic parts and not enough soft padding, so the headphones with my head shape had a tendency to painfully squeeze. Wearing a hat or putting something on the band helped though. Headphones were light and breathed a bit better than the 700s anyway (haven't tried the QC 2).
If schools only focused on what students were motivated to learn, I'm not sure schools would really be accomplishing much. Not to say that schools shouldn't foster motivation in students. Just that technology, especially social media, is very effective at distracting people.
Modal dialogs. Making it impossible to move the window or reference something else in the same interface.
Toasts on android. No idea where the toasts came from and no way to look up what the toast said after it disappears.
