That's one of the fundamental disagreements between Catholics and Protestants.
A Catholic would argue that veneration of saints isn't worship, it's showing respect for someone who exemplified Christian ideals, or died as a martyr. Canonization is basically the religious version of the Medal of Honor.
A Protestant would argue that the distinction between veneration and worship is arbitrary, and veneration of a saint essentially amounts to idolatry anyway.
Well shit, that's a non-starter then.
Seconded. Having an awesome Fish setup doesn't help at all when you're constantly having to shell into other machines unless you somehow keep your dotfiles synced, and that sounds like a total hassle.
I'd rather my muscle memory be optimized for the standard setup.
Wanting to and actually doing it are two different things.
The problem is that open source devs also have to be their own project managers, but those two jobs have very different skillsets.
In regular software development, it's the PM's job to deal with the drama, filter the idiocy out and collect concise and actionable user stories, and let the developers just write code.
In open source, you tend to deal with a lot of entitlement. All kinds of people, who never gave you a dime, come out out of the woodwork to yell at you over every little change. The bigger and farther reaching a project is, the more this happens, and it wears you down. I can only imagine what it's like working on a huge project like GNOME.
And the toxicity feeds into itself. Be kurt with one person, and suddenly it gets out that you're an asshole to users. Then people come in expecting hostility and react defensively to every little comment. And that puts you in the same mindset.
At the end of the day, you can't satisfy everyone. Sometimes you gotta figure out how to tell someone their feature request is stupid and you're not gonna work on it, especially not for free. And a lot of people need to learn to try to fix problems themselves before opening an issue. That's kind of the whole point of open source.

It doesn't excuse the behavior, but I get where it's coming from.
At this point, no. But it's still incredibly annoying and a little spooky when I'm laying in bed and I see my computer screen light up in the next room when it's not supposed to.
It'll even wake itself from sleep when it wants to update, but it won't start it automatically, I think because it hits the lock screen.
I'll probably try Linux on ir when Windows 10 hits EOL.
Someone should force this guy to read about the principle of least astonishment.
Doesn't surprise me that a developer from Microsoft doesn't understand this. To this day, when I select "Update and Shut Down" in Windows, it only actually shuts the computer down about half the time.
If that's WolframAlpha Classic, you probably paid for it a decade ago like I did.
I paid like $5 for the Android app (now WolframAlpha Classic) like 10 years ago and it's been worth every penny. I use it for anything that needs complicated unit conversions.
WolframAlpha will do the right math, and walk you through it (though IIRC you have to pay for that part).
This is because LLMs do not inherently understand math. They stick characters together that are likely to go together based on the content they were trained on. They're literally just glorified autocorrect.
If you want a tool that can actually do math from natural language input, try WolframAlpha.
The fact this was apparently posted by someone from the Netherlands makes this so much funnier.
