This, from what I can see, makes Alpine rather less suitable to being a desktop OS than an embedded OS. I don't want to compile everything from source, and sometimes I can't (e.g. Steam, Dropbox).

I don't see how any of those qualifiers have anything to do with my point. Mistakes happen all of the time.

I would argue that the Taliban was different - a guerrilla battle (similar to Vietnam - which we also lost) rather than a direct conflict. I believe that the US, while not very good at the former, is still among the best at the latter - alt

Please don't name-call, or set up straw-man attacks. Neither of those is appropriate for HN.

I am here to validate your crankiness - people using the Pareto principle as an excuse for not doing a good job is becoming more common, with predictable effects. On the plus side, like you said, it does result in less competition if you
