Or what if, hear me out, everyone just did that thing from the start?

The thing you have to understand is that your initial statement has literally no foundation to it. There isn't any solid proof that program failures like this are direct means to keeping workers employed (where it is implied that they

This reminds me of the "cars can use kill people too!" disingenuous line of thought. Cars can kill people, but they are primarily used for transportation. Guns have no other purpose but to kill. You may use it for other stuff (spo

That is an incredibly poor understanding of science.

Fossil leaves me with no reason to use it. What it can do, Git and Mercurial can do better. Saying that no software fits the use case for everyone, everywhere is completely irrelevant. Other software not fitting into every mold completely,

Option 0: Don't lay off the people that create critical business infrastructure?

Or everyone could just use IRC. Seems like a waste of man-hours and talent to recreate something we've had for decades.

You're going to compare necessary tools that cost nothing over their lifetime to having things like retirement, cheap rent, benefits, and a strong job market? "Life sucks sometimes" is also a thought terminating cliche, as su

>Or should we do like the Europeans do and set low expectations rather than suffer the pain of not meeting higher ones? That is a completely ridiculous statement with absolutely no basis in reality.

Along with a few other issues with OS X updates over the last month or so, iTunes continually downloads previous purchases that have already been downloaded like 5 times. This is an incredibly stupid bug and it's eating up my disk spac
