I would put good money on the first one, based on experience with GTK development and my guesses about the way Vim uses GTK (presumably, they don't do anything different across GTK2/GTK3 that they don't have to).

In case you were asking how it might be a problem, look at some of its effects on the status quo: Forced obsolescence, pervasive spyware/security problems, being locked into an "app" ecosystem, user-hostile antifeatures, lack

On Linux, I'd really love a caching resolver that saves its cache persistently . I don't understand why the machine's power-on state has anything to do with the validity of the DNS cache; if the entries were good at shutdown

The Essential phone does nothing fundamentally new. The Librem 5, on the other hand, will if it gets crowdfunded: it'll be the first phone to not lock its users into the shitty app store paradigm where you rely on the manufacturer for
