Nature religions were right and we're all part of a single bigger organism of which every part can feel and communicate with every other part.

Bomfunk MC's Freestyler is the peak of musical creation. (Ok, prolly no but I love coming back to it.)
(Fwiw, initially I read "triple !" (i.e. !!! or ChkChkChk) in your op comment and thought why?, that's a great band.)
They look like the wading birds I liked seeing so much in Spanish rice paddies.
All humans (which afaik includes royals) are animals anyway.
You have a point to some degree, yet I still think it is defensible to make this post. He majorly altered software
- downstream
- against user expectations
- for somewhat spurious reasons
- seemingly quite ad-hoc
He then went on to defend that decision in a less-than-graceful way before announcing there will be a second, new package.
But, to make it clear: I certainly don't approve of hate directed toward him and I don't have a personal issue with him.
Yes, these are off-by-default features.
Afaiu it, he added a second package with (quote) "all the crap" later, after the storm.
And no, it wasn't just the favicons feature that was removed (which like ... is that really such a big privacy issue that you need to remove it from the binary?). Support for Yubikey was removed as well — which is not a privacy issue. The reasoning mentioned by the Debian maintainer is that all of these features might turn out to be security issues in the long run. Thus, in his view, a password manager application must do nothing but provide access to the database within the app.
I find it an interesting example of diverging upstream, maintainer, and user interests in any case.
I hear that Amazon sells a locked-down e-reader, they're the market leader as well.
GIMP has had a GTK 3 port in development for years. They just lack the developer bandwidth to finish it. And in general, using EOLed libraries for your very popular application is not great, not for security, not for usability, and not for compatibility with modern systems.
You're not wrong, and yet it's the name of a fairly popular porn series where actresses exchange a cab ride for sexual favors (that's the story idea at least).
It's popular enough that there is a significant number of people (vulgo, "creeps") who put Fake Taxi stickers all over their cars.
