I think Maven's approach is functionally lock-files with worse ergonomics. You can only use the dependency from the libraries you use, but you're waiting for those libraries to update. As an escape hatch, you end up doing a lot of exclusions and overrides, basically creating a lockfile smeared over your pom. P.S. Sadly, I think enough people have left Twitter that it's never going to be what it was again.

Of course it's functionally lock files. They do the same thing! There's a very strong argument that manually managing deps > auto updating, regardless of the ergonomics. P.S. You're, right, but also it's where the greatest remnant remains. :(

  I fear it says something unfortunate about our entire subculture if the greatest remnant remains at the Nazi bar. :( (To be generous: it might be that we didn't build our own bar the moment someone who is at least Nazi-tolerant started sniffing around for the opportunity to purchas the deed to the bar. The big criticism might be "we, as a subculture, aren't punk-rock enough.")

    If Twitter is a Nazi site then why do I have to block Laura Loomer & Ben Shapiro manually?

  JFC, get off Twitter. It's a Nazi propaganda site and you are going to be affected by that even if you think you're somehow immune.

> P.S. Sadly, I think enough people have left Twitter that it's never going to be what it was again. Majority of those people came back after a while. The alternatives get near-zero engagement, so it's just shouting into the wind. For the ones that left over political reasons, receiving near-zero engagement takes all the fun out of posting... so they're back.

  I'd be willing to bet that 95% of my "followers" on Twitter are bots. So I get near-zero engagement, or engagement that is worth zero.

    it is worth it to go through and block all bot followers. your engagement will likely improve afterwards.
