I mean the specific issue about the binary blobs. Something that might set off alarm bells for you or a security-focused group may not do so for some dude working on a passion project in his free time.

Maybe they weren’t working on it.

Software to create bootable usb drives. It’s handy, you just copy ISOs into the drive and pick which one to boot into instead of overwriting the drive with a single ISO.

I’m with you until the lockin. How does that happen?

Yeah, specifically for something like coreutils I can’t see the malicious endgame that is suggested by others here. Is the fear that a proprietary version of cat or pwd or printf takes over the ecosystem and then traps users into a nonfree agreement? Or a proprietary coreutils superset that offers some new tool and does the same thing? Or a proprietary coreutils that generates profit for businesses without attribution to the developers? What would stop anyone from just writing their own proprietary set of tools to do the same thing now, even if uutils didn’t exist? Clearly not much, since uutils did exactly that (minus the proprietary bit).

I personally don’t see a compelling reason to change to MIT, but I also don’t see the problem.

It means they admit they were wrong and you were correct. As in, “I have been corrected.”

Still not enough, or at least pi is not known to have this property. You need the number to be “normal” (or a slightly weaker property) which turns out to be hard to prove about most numbers.

Bitcoin is more widely seen as a vehicle for speculation rather than a decentralized currency. Unlucky.

Mesa is usually pretty quick to update, it’s just that stable distros won’t update mesa all that quickly. I assume most of them have some way to install a newer mesa from a community repo or something.

People ITT hating on null coalescing operators need to touch grass. Null coalescing and null conditional (string?.Trim()) are immensely useful and quite readable. One only has to be remotely conscious of edge cases where they can impair readability, which is true of every syntax feature

Vim is absolutely not an IDE. It has no integrations with any language. It’s just a powerful text editor. You can add language plugins and configure it to be an IDE.
