They seem so directionless lately, and by god is AI the wrong horse to bet on for their users.
I should check out LibreWolf...

Funnily enough, Libre Office is another great example of this, being forked from Open Office (and also way better).
God, it's like teachers trying to copy a link from their file browser. Well, bless them for trying.
Jellyfin ftw
A lot of pro-birth people argue "obviously things are different if the mother's life is in danger", but that ignores that there's often nothing obvious or definite about the line between "safe" and dangerous. Doctors are erring on the side of caution to avoid potential lawsuits and even jail time, and this is the result. People bleeding out in parking lots, suffering irreversible damage to their body, and people dying.
I've had very few issues with whitespace in my decade or so of using python, especially since git and IDEs do a lot to standardize it. I'm a Python simp, tho
Honestly, I've been using type hints very heavily since they became a thing. I just use IDE completion too much to do without them.
Paradox seemed like the ones to do it, what with publishing Cities Skylines, but unfortunately their life sim was canceled.
Paralives is still going strong in development, though, with a pretty constant stream of updates. Really hoping that one sees the light of day. They've already got a pretty impressive building system working, but they've got some big ambitions, particularly when it comes to adaptive interactions with character heights.
I guess the question is, what happens to the kernel when all the people who learned on C are gone? The majority of even the brightest new devs aren't going to cut their teeth on C, and will feel the same resistance to learning a new language when they think that there are diminishing returns to be had compared to what's new and modern and, most importantly, familiar.
I honestly get the hostility, the fast pace of technology has left a lot of older devs being seen as undesirable because the don't know the new stuff, even if their fundamental understanding of low level languages could be a huge asset. Their knowledge of C is vast and valuable, and they're working on a project that thrives because of it. To have new people come to the project and say "Yeah, we could do this without having to worry about all that stuff" feels like throwing away a lot of the skill they've built. I'm not sure what the solution is, I really don't think there are enough new C developers in the world to keep the project going strong into the future though. Maybe a fork is just the way to go; time will tell which is more sustainable.
Permissive licenses mean faster and more widespread adoption, it's up to project maintainers if the tradeoff is worth it. Ideally a company would realize that an open source part of their project probably isn't radically going to affect their revenue stream, but you don't just have to convince devs, you have to convince the suits and lawyers, and they will tell you to just build your own rather than give up any precious IP.
I'm so glad younger people are largely abandoning the "wife bad" garbage. Maybe it's not so bad to, you know, openly enjoy being with someone you love without having to make a joke about it.
Okay, but even if that's the case, what do we do about the very real consequences for trans people?
OpenOffice was a really solid Microsoft Office rival, and FOSS to boot. Made by Sun Microsystems, of course, and then ruined by Oracle (of course).
Thankfully LibreOffice was forked from it and is still going strong as a very capable suite of document tools. And OpenOffice is basically dead, womp womp.
