Are you quoting the same polls that simply didn't offer respondents any way to say "I'm against all of it"? Dishonest polls do not demonstrate popular support. https://consumerrights.wiki/w/User:Loui

I'm not aware of any relevant research, but to answer the "So what can we do about it?" question I have a wild idea: invert the power structure, with cooperative of workers hiring their managers instead of managers hiring wor

It's "macOS" [1] if you really want to be pedantic. However, it's still "Intel Mac OS X" in Safari UA even on M1 MacBook, so why Statcounter data includes both OS X and macOS remains a mystery. [1] https:&#x2F

You don't need plastics for that. Warp knitting has been used for the last few centuries with cotton/linen/silk/wool to get stretchy textiles, and there are plenty of stretchy pants that are made of natural materials ava

Something like if ('Bun' in globalThis) ... if ('Deno' in globalThis) ... if ('window' in globalThis) ... could be used to determine the runtime.

You and Symbiote are technically correct, what I'm suggesting wouldn't match The Open Source Definition [1]. But being "correct" matters little to me, what matters is promotion of the idea & usage of free software. &

I’m glad that the free software movement existed for so long and achieved a lot, giving me the opportunity to reap the benefits of their work. And that’s exactly what disappoints me: everyone can benefit without giving anything in return. F

I find it funny that the author dislikes "casting magic spells", and yet cherishes the book which states that we conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells. What I don't find funny is that people keep suggesting SICP
