20 years ago things weren’t so shit

That's so not true.

It's just that the focus shifted from nerds doing nerd things to economists enslaving nerds because they realized there is a lot of money in there.

Tech is still exciting. The constant enshitification and "profits!!!!" is what is annoying, depressing, and outreagous.

Take WASM for example. It's absolutely stunning. Imagine what we would have done with it 15 years ago. Now, it is still some niche because they haven't figured how to squeeze money out of it.

Why do a majority of nation's flags use the rectangular shape except Nepal?

Historically, triangular shaped flags in South Asia were very common, since it was compact in size so the flag furled even with the lowest wind, thus making it visible over long distances. The flags of almost all states in South Asia were once triangular. Nepal has simply maintained its ancient tradition, while every other state has adopted a rectangular or square version in the European vexillological tradition.
