Yeah, don't know how to fix it. Doxygen is just refusing to output the usual file for my template using aliases / inline constexpr variables as a standalone XML so breathe just cannot find half of my stuff.

I adapted to extending my knowledge to outside technologies like search engines. It wasn't there, for me, until I was in middle school.
In 2012-2018, I think the results were at their peak. The incentives were there to produce information that was useful, and the engines gave useful results to niche and complicated queries.
Now the results are skewed too much towards "did you mean" fat finger typing and commercial deals between companies too big for me to imagine understanding.
What will the next, and the next-next generation do to find useful, technical, accurate, and reliable information?

Does Lenovo sell an abacus? No. Have they ever sold an abacus? No. Will they ever sell an ancient instrument in mathematics? No. We have computers. They sell computers. There is no reason for them to come up with this dumb FAQ about abacuses made by a machine, populated with a machine, and then published on the web — likely without being read by the person who committed it for factuality.
And now we have creators of reference materials, OEMs, spewing junk for their own search rankings in this inflating party on the back of AI. Check out Lenovo's abacus article https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/glossary/abacus/
This extended brain with technology thing is gettin *&cked and those with less interest in memorizing what they need to be independent and functional will make dangerous mistakes... like mixing ammonia and bleach.
Do not mix these. It creates a harmful and poisonous chemical!
