OP is off on costs, motivations and attitude. In a nutshell selfish person lashes out, assumes all side income is gravy.

Shoe on the other foot, some people are having major financial struggles... are they best to say "buy me a coffee" or "oh shit, help"?

Begging is so disgusting that even beggars are not happy to do it bluntly, until they're on the streets.

while the common refrain is nothing, what you get with karma is a v.small online recognition boost.

so almost but not quite nothing.

It was when Apple started to imply that Chromium, LibreOffice etc was Malware...

Yeah, sure Apple.... sure.

To be fair, I switched away from Windows back in ~2004 and used Macos pretty much exclusively since then, with the exception of Linux, which wasn't feeling as good for desktop.

I switched again, in Dec 2023 to Linux as desktop, due to the kind of issues we're discussing ITT, and also due to Apple's "buy new, you can't repair" effective hardware policy.

I setup a couple of Windows 11 machines with WSL too, and tend to use them a lot more than I expected. There's issues, and I'm still figuring some things out wrt to doing things in Windows (not WSL) but the experience is significantly better than expected.

I'm not a fan of M$ but Apple are really taking the cake for anti-user hostility these days.

Agreed, as an ex-pivot I really liked PT (relative to Jira et al.)

It was clear the VMWare was going to gut the company, and Broadcom only made that clearer.

It was once a great company... (Pivotal Labs)

Now it's toast.

Someone who doesn't care that /usr/bin is on a READ ONLY partition... (and no you can't change it.)

Yes.

Unless you want to drive engineering insane / waste a ton of money.

While I see nothing particularly egregious about Kitty's maintainer, other than being a bit of a dick, it's not really the job of a maintainer to be your pal.

Except, when I started using WezTerm at the start of this year... omg, this guy is absolutely fantastic.

I have read scores of his posts and he's struck the perfect tone in every single one. Love this guy, really, he's awesome.

I'd say it depends:

- Depends on stage of study - Depends on type of concept - Depends on how the student learns the most effectively.

There's only one way I think your statement is true, and that's if you add "solely".
