Today I learned "cakewalk" is a slavery reference and is therefore not politically correct to use.

The movie Nacho Libre was based off a true story of a priest who supported an orphanage as a luchador https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fray_Tormenta

if you paste with ctrl shift v instead of ctrl v that removes whatever formatting the copies thing had
no more [pasting into the URL bar in order to copy again] for me!

it should be a context-sensitive thing where formatting is kept if you copy from and to the same app (like copying text inside Word or whatever), but it strips the formatting if you copy to a different app than where you took the text from.

But annoyingly I have no idea why it is called that.

The British destroyed the French navy in 1940 so as to ensure it didn't fall into German hands. This action was not only not approved by France, but France retaliated by bombing Gibraltar. British and French forces actually exchanged fire, which means the British fought the French in WWII

there was also some fighting between the allies and the french during operation torch (the takeover of the french possessions in north africa), although very little since the french forces defected pretty quickly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Torch

so both the british and the americans fought the french in ww2!

Also, when filming Alien, Ian Holm did his best to hold his breath in every shot where the crew are waking up from deep space hibernation until his character is actually rising
