In a site where people upvote and downvote it's really not that hard to judge the prevailing opinion. It's the one at the top of the site, as opposed to the greyed out comments which were downvoted to death.

I think the very way you're dismissing things as "performative" proves my point.

Are you really claiming that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is safe? I'm not going to quote the whole "toxicology" section of wikipedia on that chemical but strongly recommend you read it: https://en.wikipedia.org&#

Yet every time we hear about a protest or other action by employees to make their employer behave in an ethical way the prevailing opinion on this site is that work isn't the place to have those discussions, and that people who do shou

We should block the behavior, not target specific companies or groups because we don't like them. If influencing our elections is bad (and I agree it is) then we should ban corporations from influencing our elections. If we think colle

The Terraform providers, and the underlying library for building them, are still open source. This is why OpenTofu didn't have to fork them. Considering they're also used by Pulumi I don't see the provider community going awa

While I see your point, I think the idea that pro-life groups aren't disrupting workplaces is very wrong. Pro-Life groups constantly protest at abortion clinics, where people absolutely do work. Sometimes they even bomb them. Again, I

I've reviewed the pull requests in question and this is just a bunch of FUD on behalf of Hashicorp. The OpenTofu process puts a lot of effort into keeping code clean. To quote one of the project developers on their review process: >

Python from the start has always been willing to use other languages and tools if it made sense. It's a pretty common pattern (at least in the data science and research circles I've been in) to write the original in python to see

This is part of the reason why you're hearing posts about TSMC expanding out of Taiwan. As it stands today it would be a fairly large economic hit to have advanced processors stop production. Building out redundancy seems to be a top p
