I used window managers for years, but the hurdle of actually configuring stuff not-related to the WM itself (like setting up dark mode) made me switch to a full-fledged desktop environment. Thanks for mentioning Noctalia - it looks like exactly what I needed!
This is an insightful comment, but I feel like you omit the fact that LLMs often give out verifiably false information that can hurt the user or other people.
It is true that this also happens on the Internet, but! When I encounter an article about a topic and it is clearly LLM generated, I can expect it doesn't contain much valuable information, only rehashes of what is already out there. On the other hand, when it is clearly written by a human, I can expect to learn something new, even though the author has some bias.
I wish the most popular software forge didn't include a bunch of other software solutions like issue tracking or forums.
Having everything in one service definitely increases interoperability between those solutions, but it definitely decreases stability. In addition, each of the other systems is not the best in their class (I really detest GH Actions for example).
Why do so many solutions grow so big? Is it done to increase enterprise adoption?
At first, I upovted zepolen's comment about there being no social contract, only license, but something bugged me about that, and I felt that I wasn't right.
After thinking about it for a while, I think that you are right, there is an implicit social contract when using open source software, and a part of this contract would be to expect the maintaining people to provide the best quality software they can create.
But the thing about contracts is that they work between multiple parties, and not just the maintainer(s) and some void. And consumers of the library didn't do their due diligence, that is, supporting the code that they rely on.
