Oh, I see. I did some looking and it seems it’s a lightweight, UEFI-only replacement for GRUB.

I installed it last Summer. Does that mean I’m currently running a different init system?

"Shit" has always been a swear word. Would you let your toddler walk around saying "This is shit!" while pointing at random things in public? It'd be a funny online video, but I wouldn't want to be the parent in the video. Just because you casually say to your friends, "I gotta take a shit." Doesn't mean it's not a swear word in most cases. "Poop" isn't even close. That's a word we intentionally teach toddlers to say.
I'm actually curious. Would you be 100% ok with your (hypothetical) toddler doing that? If so, then you really don't see it as a swear word. I feel like the vast majority of people in the USA would say it's a swear word.
A swear word is just a "lowly" word with a bit more gravity than normal words. Consider how even "This is trash!" Doesn't carry the same weight as "This is shit!".
You can insult things and people with any words... "naive, ignorant, uneducated, slow, ineffective, disabled", etc. But if a person were actually any of those things, and you spoke those words with tact, they aren't necessarily mean. "I'm sorry to say this, but disabled people do not have a good time on this ride."
Now replace "disabled" with "shit" and tell me that could ever be gentle in ~~any~~ context. 😂 That's what makes it a swear word, that's it. It's a word that has no chance of being "nice" in any way.
These are just my own thoughts, and I'm certainly no linguist.

The AI said, "shit".

I’ve never heard of that nor had that happen to me.

That’s funny, I prefer the opposite (actually changing bits) because then it works with every player and device.

I use QMP3Gain. It actually changes the bits in the file so the files work with every app and player without needing to rely on tags. However, It also adds tags to the file which let you undo the changes later, if needed (it’s lossless).
It has two modes. You can modify all the files in an album equally so that they play at the same relative volume. Or you can modify tracks irrespective of other tracks, which is good for random singles you own.
You can drag every full album you own into the UI, and do them all at once in album mode. It works based on tags. Then do the same with all singles you own in track mode.
It defaults to 89.0 dB, but I prefer to use 95 dB because some devices just don’t have enough volume. A tiny bit of clipping is imperceptible because decoders account for it. Many of your current MP3s already have clipping, and I’m sure you haven’t noticed. So don’t worry if you see red "Y"s in the clipping column.

On my end, it looks like you tried to layout your comment with Latex and failed. :D
