Unix users are THE tool to restrict tool permissions, at any given time there's 20+ services on a Unix machine that run in their user.

And where did they put it? On the biggest US platform.

Someday we'll get there, someday.

> I struggle to see the beauty in a gargantuan lean proof constructed by 100 different people

Why does it need to be beautiful? Once you proved it it's true and you can use its consequences in math, sciences and engineerings.

Oh no, imagine the people that save human lives having high salaries, the horror.

If you, like me, are in the software field, know that this is likely the most comfortable job even invented by humanity, we should really be paid just above the poverty line in exchange.

I've been using it professionally for years.

As long as you don't use their exclusive DBaaS, moving away is easier than from other places, as egress traffic is free.

The user experience though, stuff of nightmares...

The early theorists of capitalism didn't imagine that advanced psychology (that didn't even exist back then) would be used to convince people to buy $product.

Messages of that sophistication are always dangerous, and modern advertising is the most widespread example of it.

The hostility is more than justified, I can only hope the whole industry is regulated downwards, even if whatever company I work for sells less.

The fact is that being Debian is boring, and JS (python/rust/...) is *cool*.

Give it a few more decades, hopefully it'll be boring by then, the same way, say, making a house is boring.

Not to mention their pro features keep breaking syntax of the community version, obviously with 0 transparency.

Now, of course they should get paid for the work they do, but these sort of "we were FOSS and surprise we're not anymore" are becoming commonplace and are always done hoping no one notices.

> git itself has become a bloated product. There's like 2-3 ways to do everything now

can you elaborate?

After a decade of use I've seem some more cutesy porcelain popping up, but the commit-tree basic concepts have never changed.

The company I work at is using the same exact branching strategy I introduced when we moved to git, with essentially no discussion in the meantime.
