I've never seen it mentioned anywhere in their histories but I always suspected the messaging apps Slack and Discord were references to Church of Subgenius and Discordianism respectively
One of my favorite trees is Couroupita guianensis, known by a few other names (ayahuma, cannonball tree). When mature the trunks grow some beautiful flowers that can cover the trunk (wiki link has a few good pics). Native to South America, it's a revered tree in Amazonian plant shamanism (all parts of the plant can be used medicinally; spiritually it is one of the big ones, an entire school of its own). It made its way to India in the 1800s where it holds a lot of renown and importance now.
Working with ayahuasca for several years in a traditional (Shipibo) context has showed me just how bad cannabis can be- it is more difficult to clean out of the body (energetically/spiritually) than any other drug. It creates so many associations in our mind- memories, relationships, pains, emotions, etc.. When "on the path" (meaning, apprenticing and learning how to work with ayahuasca), it really needs to be cleaned out for useful visions to open up (to work on other people) and to be able to cleanly connect to and call in the medicinal spirits/doctors (through the icaros/songs). It can really blunt dreams, intuition and senses.
(Yah this probably sounded woo-woo, but I am speaking from a different, non-western context/lens that views this as a spiritual malady. So take that as you will)
It's hugely more efficient, if you're on a battery powered device it could mean hours more of play time. It's pretty insane just how much better it is (I go through a bit of extra effort to make sure it's working for me, hw decoding isn't includes in some distros).
Afaik ".internal" isn't reserved/defined anywhere, it's just a convention some people/devices use, and doesn't have anything to do with the root cause here (a custom resolve.conf or whatever it is called in macos changing after an update), no?
