Why would a doctor prescribe an alternative to coffee or tea in the first place though?

The incentive is still there, it just presents itself differently. Nothing prevents them from withholding major changes so they happen every 13 months either. If anything, I would at least expect yearly major versions to have large changes, while they can technically do whatever they want during the year I pay for, including not pushing any updates whatsoever.

Okay. But did any of these users need to read the manual to use Windows? My point was not that RTFM is a bad thing per se, but that pretending people aren’t proper Linux users if they don’t is absurd. They have Linux in their machine? They’re Linux users.

This is merely one way to view it. The other is the one I gave. An OS is a tool for most people, they don’t even understand nor learned Windows, it’s mostly the gateway between them and their actual work, i.e. the software they use. They want a computer that runs their software, that’s it.

The “we don’t need them as Linux users if they don’t want to RTFM” line of thinking you’re exhibiting was exactly my point. Why do you interpret making things better for everyone as “lowering the bar”? Unless you genuinely think it’s a good thing the technical barrier is there, I don’t know how you rationalize this opinion.

Mine was 2007 too. Almost two decades later, and we still have the people playing gatekeepers.

One time purchases are not a sustainable income source for long living and updated software products like unraid.

I’m always left scratching my head every time I hear this line. Software subscriptions are a relatively new trend. The majority of software has been single-purchase until then over the last handful of decades. Why did it suddenly stop being sustainable to do so?

Took me half a lifetime to get there, and I still don’t have any real coping mechanisms, but yeah, at least I can tell the wife that things aren’t doing so well.

Yeah, with the limited time I have left after the two kids, the wife and the job, I admittedly play a very limited selection of games and not for very long nowadays, and those Just Work(tm) so far. But I also own more games than I’ll ever finish so I’ll probably hit something eventually lol

Yeah as a man, saying you find trans women attractive beside you wouldn't have(in my case) a relationship with one it's generally a taboo at least in my society, usually people are in extreme sides, you are gay or you are cis, there is no middle point.

It’s indeed pretty taboo in some sense, even here in Canada lol. Doesn’t make it true though, sexual orientation being mostly a spectrum. I don’t have anything to back it up, but I strongly believe most people who say they’re “100% straight” are mostly repressing the non-zero part of themselves that could maybe be a tiny little bit gay, even if it’s like 0.01% lol

I can perfectly be friend of a trans(male or female) person but for me they are not relationship material.

Preferences are always okay.

So you’re staring, to be a judgemental asshole on purpose, and you’re proud of it. Interesting.

My point was intended to be more generic than just uutils though. Agreed that this specific project looks interesting.

And yes, I know the unsafe keyword is not inherently unsafe to use, but it's also, in practice, one of the few potential footguns of the language, and is easy to abuse and get wrong. It'll raise a few eyebrows in PRs and you'll be expected to have both good reasons and a good test coverage at the very minimum lol. It's a good red flag, if you do end up with runtime memory issues, that it's probably happening in that block, but past this, you're still basically foregoing some safety for convenience. And people fail. Often.

I'm not too sure that the relative additional security, considering most people's threat models, really justifies this much inconvenience. YMMV I guess.
