That way of thinking is extremely naive. It adds payment/fraud/refund etc only because providing that is cheaper than making sure developers pay their share after the fact. Benefits of a monopoly! Just think for one brief second

most photos and films were too inhumane for mainstream media. A few acquaintances sold most of their material, recorded on a trip paid by some news agency or another to cover the war du jour, to exploitation gore producers. like the "f

the single promise of the project maybe? to enable transactions or way to fund distributed projects from direct sales to things as IPFS. it's at most a hacker toy platform.

you still need a 3rd party to realistically convert USD into BTC. at this point, might as well trade in casino chips. (see gnu taller for a less cassino-like alternative to payments)

add to it that there is a group selling a new standard for 911 call systems (which is today managed by a single politician and a team of contractors!). they demoed the proposed architecture on defcon this year.

you just run your train on the rail like you would run your truck on a highway. eventually you get into some factory or port with a connecting exit. industrial rail is much more complex than your urban passenger rail.

This so much. It is better than most commercial offerings on OSx, and yet, everyone still threats it as a poor hack by mangling the UI by default. Give blender a "copy after fx UI" default already.
