GIMP 3.0 makes it a lot easier for devs to add functionality and they're starting a UX working group.

But I find it usable, I've been using it weekly for a very long time. I'm happy to see development picking up though with more people joining.

It's certainly safer though one can probably still do some damage in /etc, if determined.

There are some other differences, for example Pop!_OS while on a LTS base still gets regular updates of kernel, Mesa and Nvidia drivers which is nice.

I believe the EU redirected open source funding to LLM/"AI". Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund on the other hand had its budget increased.

Yeah, I’ve done C++ for a couple of decades. So much less time is spent debugging with Rust, I love it. We have powerful processors and compilers, they’re meant to do tedious work for us, might as well let them do more to ensure “correctness” for us.

Besides I love the simple things like Option and Result.

You seem upset. Blink twice if someone is forcing you to use it.

Yeah also I think we should be careful about calling anything we find annoying Enshittification, otherwise we'll dilute the concept and it loses all meaning. I see this happening with hyperbole all the time, for example one of the strongest words in the dictionary "hate" have almost no meaning as people use it for even the mildest dislikes instead of utilizing a richer vocabulary. Let's reserve Enshittification for Xitter and friends.

I find it bloated if the system have things I don't need are noticeably using up RAM and CPU. I couldn't care less about extra unused packages on disk, they're dormant. I don't care about a few daemons or resident apps I don't use either if they're idle all the time and use minimal RAM. Bloat for me is something that noticeably affects my running system.

A few decades ago I got a letter (snail-mail even) that my domain was expiring soon and asking if I wanted to continue. I signed into the link given and paid a small amount, only to realize I hadn't even registered my domain with that registrar in the first place. I locked my domain to prevent a transfer, but obviously the money were lost.

The appearance and how you use it is a very important part of a browser, also there are things like sync of history/bookmarks/etc. and "send a tab to Firefox on another device" functionality.

Yeah and I'm not convinced a soldering iron is something everyone should have :)

Well, those of us who care all say that but I for one have to access government and banking websites in several countries, if they implement this I have no choice. This abomination must be prevented in the first place.
