It is easy to jump on defence of the platform one uses using a satirical non-take, but that leaves out details such as percentage of people under GDPR using HN compared to the other laws you mentioned, additionally basic compliance with GDP

It is a low quality outdated list, but systemd should be on top of any minimalist list. It is the most violating Linux software of KISS/UNIX principle. So if anything putting it on top does validate the list.

I'd take a more diverse UI experience on Android any day over a more polished yet heavily opinionated experience at iOS. That being said, I feel like the main complaint about Android apps design is the fact that a lot of apps are just

I am not sure if this is a tongue-in-cheek comment that's above my comedic pay grade, but if it is not: This sounds like a lot of words that would otherwise mean nothing to any Nix/Guix user. It works. It is not "too idealist

Any industry wouldn't be "really a startup kinda business" if only a few players are pumped more than everyone else combined by orders of magnitude. Having to scale to everyone's demand is a lot more costly than if the m

I guess it somewhat follows the Nix tradition of having several pieces of software doing the same exact thing and confusing the users about which one to pick.
