Filesystem fetishization at its finest. Not only is /etc poorly structured (just like portions of the registry are), it also suffers from lack of uniform format for the data. But hey, registry is bad because it's bad.

Both can be true :)

Facebook banned as well.

Just use some modern source port (and preferably hi res status bar mod).

They aren't just passing by. There's an ongoing fight for the control over this terrain. And, in the unlikely event of Russian troops retreating, I wouldn't put past Russia bombing it.

Considering the whole reason for this crisis is Russia's proximity to Ukraine, wouldn't that mean contamination spreading to Russia too?

Wind in this area is primarily a westward one.

Unsurprisingly the majority of comments here focus on "how to prevent my free dependencies from breaking" instead of "can we have a systemic way of supporting developers that maintain critical software".

It's almost as if showy acts of violence/shock don't engender constructive attention.

Both-Sides-Ism is such a tiresome stance. Yes, PO fucked up on their way out but that in no way justifies PiS actions, not does it even explain them. They'd dismantle democracy with or without PO's unlawful judgment. It's dishonest to claim otherwise.

This doesn't scale though, and OpenBSD - as much as I love it - is a clear example of that. Compare Theo who remains abrasive at times, and Linus, who realized that project the size of Linux cannot be handled with complete disregard for safe, inviting environment. Toxic leaders are the reason there's this idea that projects that are built on merit somehow must be ruthless and uninviting. It's really easy to e.g. confuse critique and criticism and in result give project the "avoid whenever possible" badge.

There are always types of events that are not suitable for public discourse (pretty much any form of harassment or abuse, where victims are still subject to pressure or were yet unable to process what happened falls into this category). I have no insight into what happened but it's not hard for me to imagine what could prompt moderation team to resign w/o disclosing specific instances.

Right. It may also be possible that there is some hope of this action restoring normality. i.e. as a result of this protest, the Core Team become more accountable. At that point, I assume the specific incident(s) may be dealt with according to the Code of Conduct, which may or may not involve transparency. Either way, it could be premature and possibly prejudicial to air those now.

Other tools can do that too. The thing that keeps me on VS is muscle memory. And I'm fine with that. But that doesn't mean that there's no entire different world out there that's viable. :)

Accessibility of that blog is absolutely abysmal. I read the post thinking "cool, too bad you have no contributor list easily available" but the problem is that links are no-underline white, just like the text itself.
