Did RMS ever call people fascists for simply trying to discuss the proposed change?

What do you mean by no? Can you read their minds? Their reputation suggests that, yes, they’ll likely block something else.

This comment is just unbelievable. With Kagi "canceled" you're back to use your regular search engine powered by the sociopaths destroying the world. But hey, at least your 5 bucks didn't go to Kremlin!

You just nitpicked his words and made a big deal out of nothing, ignoring the actual message. Classic.

You should probably try replacing the name of the country in the phrase “<nation> is not allowed” with your own nationality to understand what the problem is here. > You accuse them of being hypocrites They are. > while you are

I reread your original comment. It would have been better if you had included those small details that, for some reason, you left out. In my opinion, you simply failed to get your point across. Anyway, my point stands. "Absolutely no o

That's exactly what I did when I was writing code in a paper notebook around 1995. Mainly because I didn't have a computer at home, and I wanted to program more than anything else in the world.

That's a weird thing to say. GUI slows down me A LOT when I sometimes have to switch to it from my terminal for whatever reason. Where did you get your "absolutely no one" data point?

I’m not disputing how intuitive the GitHub interface is, but seriously, why is it so hard for technical professionals to set aside 10–20 minutes of their time to learn a new interface? Why has this even become an issue worth discussing?

> “Ooh cyber” is a lame straw No, not really. To me it felt exactly the same (immature) way. That was a reason why I kept using htop instead. I feel the same about eg k9s, but there's nothing better to migrate off it.

> people will be bored to death As opposed to what? Be entertained by all the bells and whistles of modern operating systems that have practically unusable user interfaces?

Not arguing here, but htop can do the same, no?

What's so good about btop? I personally can't stand its interface, I don't need bells and whistles in my terminal.

Or, to look at it another way, the answer is that it’s the developers who don’t want to learn something new that, objectively speaking, might turn out to be better than what they’re used to.

It's not a problem though. There is absolutely no need for “quality content” whose sole or primary purpose is to monetize it. What we’re all missing is hobby content created out of passion, free of ads and all the nonsense that plagues

The answer is not that obvious as you might see or imply it.

As I've already said, I don't play online games, and I'm not particularly concerned about all the fuss surrounding anti-cheat measures, so I don't think that suddenly makes Linux a "second-class gaming platform.&quo

While I agree with your point I don't agree that open source is overrated. This movement is one of the greatest developments in modern history, and the fact that corporations have exploited it for their own gain should in no way dimini
