Get over yourself. Linus himself said Linux is just a hobby. It just happened to be the best because of the lack of red tape dragging development down. It got as big as it did BECAUSE it was a volunteer project with the…

Firstly, I don't think you're engaging in good faith. I won't humor shotgun questions like yours. They're not even on topic. If you want to talk about these topics, then we do them separately and one at a time. Those…

There are problems in the DSM-5 for ADHD diagnosis. Dr Russell Barkley breaks it down in his lecture here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JLKCzEDqGa0

You’ve got a severe case of TDS. I voted for Trump. I did it in 2016 and 2020 and 2024. And you don’t know anything about me. You like to cry “fascism! Fascism!” while you turn a blind eye to ‘Students for Fair…
A special endpoint e.g. /about or /license that lists the terms of the AGPL and a link to the source code would suffice. That's not difficult or unreasonable at all.
