But it introduces an artificial difference between edges and corners. You'd get the same ability for corners if you did them after the edges.
The slightly counterintuitive “magic” is that you can trade a corner swap for an edge swap: for permutation parity, corners and edges are interchangeable.
Did you mean flip an edge, or 120°?
Login, no, just no.
Login is ambiguous to begin with, is it the action or the user identifier?
Login as the process of logging in, the best interpretation, is still pretty limited: authentication is the validation of a much longer chain of events than that. It may start with login, but it lasts for as long as the service accepts to believe such principal is behind such actions.
Login as username is IMHO the most common use of the word, and most obviously the wrong one to mean authentication.
To make things me interesting, auth already means authentication to me. I accept it can lead to confusion and a better substitute would be welcome.
Which specific version do you distinctly remember?

Well they're always useful to those people training LLMs, for one.
It's the case here, but isn't automatic.
Which part of it do you think is wrong?
Thread-initial description was 50% of the market, which is ambiguous. It could refer to either the market in sales, which indicates highest growth, or the market in userbase, which could be the layman's “common”.
Complete sentences may make it possible to pretend bad wording is consistent, but that doesn't make it good wording.
That's not how zero-tolerance works.
Note that French typically does not capitalize individual words in a title as English does.
The “Bach standardized the world on 12TET” trope is old and enjoyable enough to make a good story that unspecialized music teachers have parroted along for generations.
We've got better access to information now. I've corrected music teachers on this specific topic in the past. Some gratefully accept. Some pull out the “but the teacher here is me card”, so I'm sure a few more generations are going to be needed.
G# minor is a much better use of the key signature system than Ab: 5 sharps versus 7 flats. In practical terms, that's a proxy for it being more common.
Your vision that minor scales are constructed from A minor is valid; thinking it's by adding flats exclusively is misguided.
I'm not going to go out on a limb and defend the fact that sharps-based minor scales could be more common than flat-based, as that's likely not the case. A much easier argument against your logic is that flats-based major scales are used all the time.
Any given key signature can be either major or minor, be it made of sharps or of flats. It can be seen as altering C major or A minor indeed, but the alteration is allowed to go either way.
Closest I've had is current job, a global company, asking me first and last payslip of my previous employment, from which I was allowed/encouraged to retract information. I figure all they really wanted to check was employment and job title.
432 vs 440, independently of any unit, makes the math easier.
432Hz vs 440Hz, obviously, is two pitches that form an audible interval.
But 432 can be a valuable explaining tool. Just don't read it as Hz, but Hz' (prime), cycles per s', such that 432Hz' = 440Hz.
That's about as far as I'm willing to defend 432.
