- Comment on Italian place in South Africa, which means "counterfeit" in Italian (correct me if I'm wrong) 1 week ago:
Interestingly Wiktionary weakly supports my hunch that it was a last name.
Uncertain; said to be of Mafia origin, from the Fugazy Continental limousine company in New York City which was owned by William “Bill” Fugazy, due to its cheesy “look like a rich guy” advertisements of the 1970s and 1980s, or its alleged poor business practices,[1] possibly influenced by Sicilian fu cazzu (“it was nothing”). The word was popularized by the film Donnie Brasco (1997), based on the book Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia (1987) by American former FBI agent Joseph D. Pistone (born 1939) who used the name “Donnie Brasco” as an undercover alias. First use in English appears c. 1974 in the novel Bones of Contention by Nicholas Gage. Adjective
fugazi

I do not think there is any implication in showing the buttons, at the end of St Junipero. I really believe the authors wanted to make a truly wholesome episode but, as you say, this is just my opinion.

I’ve watched both White Christmas and St Junipero and I do not see what the implication should be. Care to elaborate?

I don’t think your comment is fair. Shortcuts and scrolling are just a matter of habit, missing functions in drivers happen with Linux all the time… but I was talking about how the user, for Microsoft, is a commodity to be sold; useability is an afterthought to adds and useless features.
On the other hand for Apple the user is a cow to milk. The OS is quite ergonomic, but you are corraled and prodded to only use (and buy) the tools that apple wants you to use.
What is worrying to me is that android is on the same trajectory and see do not have a viable Linux distribution for most ARM phones.

What you say is partly true, but Italian summers are still way too hot. But our only option was to suffer it.
