Our relationship to slop is a bit more complicated than that, no?
Whether it's terrible music or not is somewhat irrelevant. Plagiarized music doesn't sound worse than the original.
What seems to matter more is the story behind the work. Basically, if the author is a grifter trying to make a quick buck, then it's slop. You can make an argument that Taylor Swift qualifies as slop, but most people will disagree. The public will be the final arbiter. All I really want is a big red lever to cast my vote.
My problem with IPv6 is that I can't double click 2001:db8::1428:57ab to select the entire address. It's a silly complaint but representative of real ergonomic issues.
It would be pretty straightforward to change the text selection rule, so that double-clicking anything matching the syntax of an IPv6 address selects the whole address.
The hard part is to find all the places to repeat that change, and convince the code owners to accept it. Probably start with a standard analogous to RFC 5952?
This is a great idea. To slightly sidetrack things: I think updating computer UI text selection behavior to not break click/snap-to-next selectable words on colons without padding spaces in general would be a good thing.
"A: B" would still click-select either "A:" or "B", but "1:2" (a ratio) would select the whole thing, as would "small:med:large" or an ipv6 address. In other words, I think that, in practice, English writing has assigned semantic significance to space-less colons in enough cases that text selection systems should reflect that.
Though I'm not sure RFCs are going to drive general GUI behavior--they won't "MUST" it, because that's overstepping, and I'm not sure GUI/OS-text-selection-functionality maintainers will be persuaded otherwise.
But... what if the users are mere vessels and true users are actually the people paying for it. I am saying it half-jokingly having watched big short. I dunno man. I know by now I have a line, but I know that line differs from person to person.
To your point, some of this stuff is loosely defined its no small wonder management is able to play word games.
As you should... Soon they'll start selling fake concert tickets, like a pig butchering scam but with music
