It’s hard to disprove this but IMO brew is the best package manager I’ve used (at least out of any of the widely used ones). I’m sure there is a better way to do things but given other common package managers that I find to be much worse, I

Not everyone wants to troubleshoot things in production. In fact I’d argue most people dont want to do that. I’d certainly prefer to stay away from that type of hassle when I’m just trying to install a random package.

The other “riots” you refer to are not riots. They appear to all be sit-ins. No windows were broken or police overpowered/attacked. These types of protests are common in the Capitol (and I’m pretty sure in most other US legislatures bu

I don’t know of any mainstream stories about actual votes being changed/hacked but there’s tons of evidence that Russia hacked state voter databases and manipulated online media for their benefit. We also have significant evidence th

I’m sure as a percentage of extensions you’re probably right, but who installs extensions by browsing the entire catalog of extensions? What I’d bet most people (including myself) do is search for extensions (assuming you don’t already know

True but all of the methods you mention to determine the horcrux are also ways to get someone's typical password, so password manager + horcrux is still much stronger as you need both (besides obviously the keylogger/malware). You

All the time. Finding obscure uses of libraries/APIs or just how certain code snippets are used, or even just repos about a general topic/implementation of a thing. It’s very sensitive and oftentimes doesn’t work well but I’d pref

I don’t think you fully understand what having large student loans can mean for a person. Sure not everyone has 100k+ in loans but either way it’s not irrational to be concerned about immediate financial issues as opposed to mass surveillan

People pay for the simplicity and (arguable) security of apple devices that comes with a tightly controlled software stack. They buy the device with the expectation that 3rd party software will be made for it that they can use. Apple then s
