The ultimate entitlement is refusing to pay for tooling, while expecting to be getting a paid job as well.

I am hard line on not feeling sorry for projects going away, being taken over by organisations, when it mattered people should have actually sponsored them, instead of bosting how great is to get it all for free/gratis.

Every, single time, someone posts a cool paid project, there is the usual comment why pay, look at MIT/BSD/Apache/... project so and so.

While a great improvement, the article also gives a good overview that cargo isn't without issues when going outside pure Rust desktop/server scenarios, maybe some ideas for improvements.

Tools have existed for decades, devs have to actually use them.

I feel like these tools, for once, are using us.

People still think that this administration will play fair the next elections.

You might be using a device powered by Tock OS.

That is only for techies. WYSIWYG has won for a reason.

ARM is mostly RISC, and doesn't dominate x86 in desktop and servers.

Apple business is vertical integration, they have zero presence in the chip market.

Unity was great, after it was abandoned I tried yet again GNOME 3, me that in the past have collaborated with Gtkmm, ended up moving into XFCE, and nowadays I am fully on macOS/Windows anyway.

If I ever go back to GNU/Linux full time, GNOME certainly won't be it.

Things improved a lot with Gnome over the years, but as a fellow Gnome 2 user the initial release of 3 and the following years were a real kick in the teeth.

Things have improved, but the overall Gnome Foundation attitude hasn't improved. They are still very stubborn and remove basic features. This seemed to start when they did their infamous "focus groups" where they claim users can't understand basic things.

I get the desire to provide a cohesive experience, but I think you can do that while also giving people control.

KDE is shaping up to be much better and it's likely because Valve is providing commercial support and exposing it to a larger audience.

Cosmic is the new kid backed by system76 and its pretty nice too and may rescue Gnome in some ways in due time.

Just like everything else outside PC thanks to clones becoming a thing.

One reason UNIX became widely adopted, besides being freely available versus the other OSes, was that allowed companies to abstract their hardware differences, offering some market differentiation, while keeping some common ground.

Those phones common ground is called Android with Java/Kotlin/C/C++ userspace, folks should stop seeing them as GNU/Linux.

It would be the same with Apple or anything Linux, due to the shitty compliance software that had to be installed regardless of the operating system.
