Isn't Geary basically a one-person show? I remember evaluating Geary a couple years ago and it looked like there was only one active developer. I ended up going with Thunderbird + Davmail.

What some people call pedantic, others may call precision. I normally just call the not-quite-REST API styles as simply "HTTP APIs" or even "RPC-style" APIs if they use POST to retrieve data or name their routes in terms

ZFS is widely used with Linux in HPC ( https://computing.llnl.gov/projects/openzfs ). Is asking users to install ZFS separately really that much of a lift for ZFS's target audience?

In my experience, the main weakness of Linux distros' package management experience is they don't distinguish core system functionality from add-on software. After all, a Linux distro is ultimately just a bag of packages. Every pa

As a long-time Linux user, I also find it ironic that after years of Linux nerds basking in the "superiority" of their package managers, Homebrew on Mac OS has eclipsed them all in terms of universality and ease of use. For exampl
