I've never seen a designer that knows anything about UX and doesn't know html and css. The look of a page is not graphic design, it is UI. The only thing that is purely graphic design is literally designing graphics, like a logo

Now perhaps in 10 years idiots in suits will finally stop demanding ridiculous pixel perfect control over website designs.

It is amazing how that myth persists. Piracy was much more common for the playstation, and I seem to recall it did ok.

You are inventing a problem that doesn't exist. I can literally have a cabinet in a first class data center in 2 days and it takes 15 minutes of my time. You save assloads of money this way vs AWS which is incredibly expensive. You

What do you mean "now"? That was the first thing I said to you. You may wish to consider that when many people are telling you that what you said was nonsense, it may not be that all of them are crazy.

Git doesn't solve the issue, it suffers from it, that's the point. And as others pointed out already, mercurial is a DVCS. It just isn't as shitty as git, that's all.

There is a big difference between "some people optionally could install GNU stuff in addition to their existing tools" and "those OSes use GNU tools".

Last you heard wrong then. Occasionally we begrudgingly install some GNU bloatware because some poorly written software requires it. That's about it. Every other OS already comes with its own versions of all the unix tools.

I didn't miss any points. Every package manager can accept a list of packages. You missed learning the most basic fundamentals of your OS. And once again, the specific tool does not matter. They all do the same thing, and they all
