Maybe dignity is part of it, but the main issue (in the U.S.) is that everything is very spread out and very few places have the requisite density to support walking. I don't care if it's the most dignified experience ever. I&#x27

What’s the alternative? Ultimately, the issue isn’t “a dependency graph of a million tiny packages” but rather running other people’s code. If you read the attack details, this is a targeted campaign where people are being tricked into runn
