Understanding how software is made, and what are best software engineering practices to make stable software only makes hate AAA studios that release overpriced crashy messes even more.

Both.

I don’t think you understand what the word bloat means.

Why should git have a mediocre ticketing system instead of getting out of the way of dedicated ticketing systems?

Small personal projects just need a text file with a Todo list, large organisations might need something super heavy weight like Jira. If your VCS has a ticketing system it’s going to be dead weight for a large chunk of users, because there’s no one-size fits all solution.

Dead and buried?

The repo alone has 114 contributors, and that’s assuming no one copied code from any other project. It’s not that small.

One thing I’m missing in all this, did the dude change the license from GPL without the other contributors express permission? That on itself would be a massive violation of the GPL

That’s why decent rulers have a 0 and a margin:

Your rulers start at 1? That sounds annoying.

It was a joke to make the point that vim can be the easiest tool to use if you are trying to do a complex task.

Easy is relative. What are you trying to do? Replace a value in an yaml file? Then nano is easier. Trying to refactor a business critical perl/brainfuck polyglot script in production? Then you probably want to use vim (or emacs if you are one of those people)

For desktop you probably can use something like https://github.com/TCB13/LoFloccus/ to save the bookmarks to a file in Synchthing. (Disclaimer: I haven’t tried this myself)

One thing is allowing the other is actively collecting and processing the data.

Also no. But 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

You are speaking like there are only two alternatives and none of them involves following the law.

Firefox creates a report based on what the website asks, but does not give the result to the website. Instead, Firefox encrypts the report and anonymously submits it using the Distributed Aggregation Protocol (DAP) to an “aggregation service”.

Mozilla can’t send user data to an “aggregation service” without explicit consent, no matter how much propaganda they use to explain it.

Why is Mozilla coming from the position that what advertisers want is reasonable or acceptable in any shape or form? The advertisement industry existed for centuries without the ability to spy on people and they were doing just fine.

Edit: this being opt-out instead of opt-in also violates the GDPR.

Before that don’t forget to voluntary submit a summary report of your activity to the NSA.

Ah yes, the reasonable solution to deal with someone cosplaying as a private Stasi is to voluntarily submit a report of your activities /s

The middle ground is not always a reasonable position.

No, GPL in particular demands the copyright notices are preserved.

Theoretically they can, in practice it’s less than ideal. And that doesn’t solve all the other distros or the combinatory explosion of supporting several distros and versions.

Flatpaks on the other hand give you a single runtime of your choice to worry about (though they still have lots of cons too).
