The issue is the barrier to entry for creating shit PRs has almost vanished while reviewing those PRs for quality by a human being hasn't, so it pushes undue burden on the maintainers. See blog posts by Daniel Steinberg (maintainer of curl) for example.

Hey it's almost as if you give decision making power to something that doesn't have a concept of mortality or morality it won't take those things into account. Who could have guessed.

AI has evolved a lot, but the regulatory environment hasn't in some industries like health where this shit can't go anywhere near it. Of course there are people who haven't used it.

Thats the British way!

So labours solution to not being in power was to outflank the Tories on the right. Reform's path to power is outflanking Labour and the Tories on the right. Restore Britain's plan is outflank all of them on the right. Where the fuck is the viable "outflank everyone on the left" party?

Got to disagree there. Websites should work without js. Sure it shouldn't have fancy animations or whatever but I should be able to read it.

Or modern vendor-locked in devices

If you can separate the artist's power and wealth from the art, this works, typically when they've been dead for a while. Otherwise you're just feeding them. Rowling herself has used the money to actively fight trans people's rights in court and used her influence to give her actions public backing.

Text editors with plugin support as potential vectors of malware is a pretty well known problem. It's why at the very least organisations should be auditing the plugins used and actively monitoring them.

Genuinely worried about that when Gabe passes the torch. I'm glad most of their Linux work is going back to the commons and to open source tools so even if they do become shit we'll still have decent compatibility.

Yes it's indirect, but remember that Microsoft is one of their biggest competitors. This isn't about seeing absolute profit from every change, it's about improving linux as a platform to make it more viable for consumers, which will make it more viable for developers, which pushes more people to Steam and SteamOS as their first Linux distro and first destination for games. By making the platform perform extremely well on older/cheaper hardware they also create a market for other businesses to create hardware (Legion Go for example) which will increase the PC market and increase the number of people using steam since it's the defacto monopoly. Yes, they won't necessarily get every penny from every sale of hardware or even games since other game stores exist, but they will get a huge percentage from the majority of people in the PC market.

What business purpose does it serve to continually improve their product? Hmm. Gee. Hmmmmmmm. Geeeeeeeeee. I'm stumped.
