There's a radio station around (one of the 93.9 the rivers): > Without deviation from the norm, progress is impossible. Dont get me wrong; Im glad there are enclaves of stability. GNOME changes paradigm every couple decades, kde less so, & they target the kind of easily knowable fixed world this article espouses. They wrap so much. OSDh->alsa->pulseaudio->pipewire, and plenty of users never notice. X->Wayland, same. Great. Most of the churn & chaos isnt visible. It's wild to me the suggestion that open source should be so focused on winning that it adopts conservative software ideologies. The idea of a static, fixed world, where we normalize all our experiences, for... what... end user convenience, is against the Hacker spirit. Is an anethema.
