Isn't Linux still Linux even though probably a lot of the original code is gone? Why would slowly rewriting it whole, or just parts, in Rust make it stop being Linux?

This is such a dumb take. For as much as I'd like to have a safer language in the kernel you need the current developers, the "big heads" at least because they have a lot of niche knowledge about their domains and how they implementation works (regardless of language) People shouldn't take shit like this from the ext4 developer, but it doesn't mean we should start vilifying all of them.

This guy's concerns are real and valid but were expressed with the maturity of a lunatic child, but they are not all like this.

Can you explain how a booster that flew 23 times is a loss when no other companies are doing it? I don't like Musk but people need to separate their views of him from SpaceX

I mean I get their feelings. Netflix et Al started with reasonable prices and then the greedy fuck heads raised the prices, so I bet Reddit would do it as well.

I'm a big fan of what they are achieving, but if they want free labour they can just eat shit

That's a very good way of me leaving Firefox behind...

To me, the ad tracking industry is completely out of control, and I’m not going to disable my ad blocker. So I signed up for YouTube Premium.

And you're paying to keep it that way. You're not paying for the added value YT Premium supposedly has, but to disable the enshitification they added on purpose for you to pay.

The only added value premium has is being able to switch off the screen and maintain YT playing. Still I'm not paying a 14$ subscription just for that. I pay that value for much more valuable software for my every day use with real added value.

Exactly, open source is always worth the extra effort, if any, to get things working. Contribute!

I don't mean it doesn't work for larger projects. Just that it's a pain to understand other's code when you have almost no type information, making it, to me, a no go for that

Where can I apply for such companies? I'd rather have this office than the open office crap we get these days.
