They're nonsense words used specifically for the rock paper scissors game. We do primarily call it "Schere, Stein, Papier", though ("scissors, stone, paper").

That's the name of the comic series. 😅

I 100% understand the frustration. It can easily feel like you're doing the maintainers a favor and they're making this harder than it needs to be.
The thing is, though, from the maintainer side, it very often feels like you're asked to do those contributors favors. You may not care for whatever feature they want to contribute, but then are supposed to put in work reviewing their contributions and possibly having to patch up their work, if it doesn't meet quality standards.

And then, yeah, you start requiring quality gates to ensure you don't have to put in extra work for something you don't care about. But then may also end up putting hurdles in place, so that effectively fewer contributions show up asking for reviews. It's an ugly solution, but frankly, it's better than having contributors put in actual work creating a pull request and then you not having time to review it.

The devs keep updating it with cool stuff. In the next update, there's gonna be an orb, which you can hold in place of a shield and which auto-flashbangs your enemies when you get hit.
There's also gonna be an orb which sets off explosions around you when you kill an enemy without attacking them...? Have not worked that one out yet, but it sounds rad as hell.

On the Linux side of things, I use KDE's "Activities", which are basically OS-level workspaces on steroids.
I set a differently colored wallpaper for each Activity and I have a translucent panel to make this wallpaper color visible even when windows are covering the screen and KDE can also set the application theme to use the wallpaper color as the highlight color.

So, long story short, I can group whole sets of applications windows into different colors, which is pretty cool. Although I can certainly also see the merit of using colors at a more detailed level.

Yeah, always found that weird as a junior. I basically never touched the main-function, because well, it set up some fundamentals and then called some other function or created some objects and then I was tweaking things somewhere below that.

Now that I'm a senior and taking over the lead of projects, I'm the person that touches the main-function and others generally do not. 🥴

It was implemented as part of the X11 standard, so the concrete program would've been X.org...

I believe, that needs to be turned off in KDE.

I'm not sure, if this actually turns of the copying or if it just turns off the pasting, but you could try turning off this setting:

Well, in case you need it in the future:

They may have entered the profession thinking they wouldn't have to talk to people, but I just want to point out that this is not at all what the profession actually looks like. You have to constantly talk to people, to work out the requirements that the customer actually needs and exchange knowledge with your team mates. If someone is not a team player, that is the absolute quickest way to get thrown out.

Dachte zuerst, so viel Geld ist das doch gar nicht. Dann ist mir aufgefallen, dass es nicht um eine Million, sondern 1000 Millionen geht. Was zur Hölle. Wollen die ihre Office Suite nochmal von Grund auf neu entwickeln oder warum brauchen die so viel Geld?

Yes, tarragon = Estragon in German.
