This is not true

Yes, having a good std library would be fine. It would really limit the proliferation of crates.

> the FDA allows levels 100x higher than what Europe considers safe

I thought it was an exaggeration so I checked. It's actually even worse:

EU is 0.2 ng/kg body weight and US is 50 µg/kg body weight. So the US limit is 250,000 times higher.

no, that's sandboxing.

> greater LGBTQ+ acceptance recently has led to people being more open with that side of themselves, rather than it being the result of environmental pollution

That's a very weird implication. All human beings are complex products of social, economical, genetic, environmental and historical factors.

External factors do not make a person "less themselves" or "less real".

This is plain false. Most production-grade distribution do extensive vetting of the packages, both in terms of code and legal.

Additionally, distribution packages are tested by a significant number of users before the release.

Nothing of this sort happens around any language-specific package manager. You just get whatever happens to be around all software forges.

Unsurprisingly, there has been many serious supply chain attacks in the last 5 years. None of which affected the usual big distros.

Then the problem is in the company and not in the license.

Hell no, I want stuff like OnCall packaged into Linux distribution. I need something stable and reliable and that receive security fixes.

Maintaining tenths of binaries pulled from random github projects over the years is a nightmare.

(Not to mention all the issues around supply chain management, licensing issues, homecalling and so on)

Because Kubernetes automates away 4 jobs by creating the need for 5.

> centralization and hierarchies are far more efficient

Efficient at what? Dictatorships are efficient at maximizing centralization power (and therefore creating wars), not efficient at making citizens happy.

Private companies are efficient at maximizing profit for the shareholders, not efficient at making employees and customers happy.

> With democracy, you spread the decision making across a vast number of under-informed people, which seldom results in superior outcomes.

Wrong. You are trying to applying direct democracy at specific, technical decisions. This would be like passengers on a flight voting on what flap configuration to use.

But democracy is not the Borg and does not automatic mean "everybody decides everything together". Specific knowledge and division of labor can still exists.

Interesting! A lot of people wouldn't want to live in a feudal society but are OK with working in one.

I guess it's all about inertia.

It clearly wasn't.

In terms of complexity and security features a car is much closer to an airplane than a knife.

It's very disingenuous to compare it to a knife.

No thanks. This approach violates the spirit of FLOSS by encouraging developers to focus on popularity rather than quality in order to make bank.

It takes away the collective aspect and replaces it with extreme individualism. There's already a software model for that: closed source.
