I think The Zen was really important for Python's success as well. Having your core values right there, well defined and out in front, wasn't something you get with a lot of languages. Any language thats been around for a long t

Not really. For the core language this applies. This does not extend to 3rd party libraries, obviously, since anyone is free to reproduce whatever someone else already doing better, if they want.

All of the source videos that have people's faces seem to be blurred. Are they blurred before transforming or do they blur it just to post the samples on their web page?

There appears to be a thriving secondary market for pre-enshittification Brother laser printers. I wonder if anybody maintains a list of the "good models?"

What is it about printers where all the makers exhibit the most egregious dark patterns, the flakiest products, and the worst software design in the drivers, out of any tech product? Is the toner in the air giving them all brain rot?

This is the same kind of take as going to a nice restaurant and loudly exclaiming "$50 for a steak?! I could pay $8 at the butcher and make the same thing at home!"
