       Explains good why I dislike monopolyies:"It’s not that either byte order is superior in some way. It’s just that x86 happened to arbitrarily use that byte order. Given its popularity, a lot of non-portable software has been written that worked correctly on little endian only. Over time, people lost the incentive to run big endian systems and this eventually led to even worse big endian support overall." https://blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2024/09/23/overview-of-cross-architecture-portability-problems/ @mgorny
