I love these types of technical tales. Why would git give you 0.1 seconds to cancel a mistyped command? No one can react that fast.

While I agree that ultimatly the choice should be left to users, I don't really get why it's harder for the author to read on higher contrast. On the contrary, it seems easier to me. But to each their own.

Then I had to manually re-enable a few apt repos for Slack, Spotify and whatnot.
