First, I like how you included “popular” adjective. That alone disqualifies 99% of projects. These are the projects “hacked” by non-paid devs. Second, some proof would be nice. I live in .net/nugget ecosystem and other…

You are asking how requiring open source with no money to satisfy plethora of regulations along with legal liability (I.e. making it a commercial grade) makes it less likely for open source be made? Ask log4j or…

To put it bluntly, it means a significant risk when creating any open source project. It’s a common knowledge that there is no money in open source, but suddenly I am liable. Half of open source licenses is disclaimer…
1. Reproduction is already heavily subsidized in many countries, be it direct grants, tax breats and so on. This is nothing new. 2. Most people actually want children. Getting someone to actually procreate with that…
That assumes that new humans can be only by women. There is no reason, why artificial womb, possibly with multiple selection box for genes, is not a very realistic possibility, along with state funded child rearing…
Maybe, but normal developer interracts with sane parts. Honestly, the biggest problem with git is sane environment for merge conflicts and that is out of scope of git CLI. In most cases, imposing rule for small…
MS stores windows codebase in a single repo (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/bharry/the-largest-git-repo-o...). 300GB. I don't really see a benefit of having all code of an org in a single repo. Single product, sure. But…
Rather surprising that they don't offer sign up with Facebook/Google. I know, i know, but that's pretty big speed bump in the onboarding process.
Probably, but I will take this victory. Google has power to make this happen.
Because they are collecting a shitload of data about me to make them work. It's like a little camera accompanying you everywhere and you don't get to say no and it's used for anything they can get away with.
Maybe when uutils ship their gnu compatible version(deviations from GNU are considered bugs), macos will update. MIT, Rust, active development... Maybe in few years.
I suspect such versions won't comply with Cyber Resilience Act (=company would be on hook for a fine). Browsers are in category 2 iirc. Edit: rest of world might be fine(big maybe, these things have tendency to…
You can try to patent anything, but patent might not be accepted. The thing is that patent office is funded by patent fees, so there is an incentive to accept the patent plus they are often hard to read.

Huawei and HarmonyOS? I know, rather unpopular ouside of China.
Sure, but position of Intel back then was very different than today. Being dethroned and free cash flow negative is rather bad I am told.
