Neither ignorance towards, nor or malice against, the people they’re supposed to represent should be permitted. Politicians should only ever argue policies against the policies’ merits, and not antagonize the people the policies affect.

It was never to your definition of free, so you were never going to be using it in the first place. Don’t need to say goodbye when you were never here.

For “larger” projects, they tend to follow semantic version best practices fairly well, so I tend to pin to minor (i.e. postgres:16.4) and I get updates along the way, with minimal risk of it breaking from major changes.

For others, I pin to specific version and update on my own terms.

If you’re going to use it, you’d be paying for it one way or another; either through money or privacy. Par for the course.

Everything eventually dies off, or transforms into something not serving our needs and the legacy version dies off; free, paid, proprietary or open source, doesn’t matter. The only thing we can do is position ourselves in such a way that when it happens, not if, we are ready to take what we’d need to the next solution that will serve our needs.

My Brother laser printer will out live me; just like my Dad’s Brother laser printer before me; just like his Dad’s Brother laser printer before him… ok I kid about the grandfather case, but we’ve been using all of two Brother laser printers since the late 80s til now. Brother HL-10 (late 80s) and Brother MFC-L8900CDW (Pre-COVID). These things are built like tanks and isn’t likely to go anywhere in the foreseeable future.

Don’t forget to register and go out to vote people! This looks closer than ever :(

This is Apple; they value different things than most people… sometimes warranted, results in offering a much better experience, and pushes everything forward (see MagSafe -> Qi2 for recent example), other times they’re just regarded as late adopters. The detraction of visual aesthetics from folding crease is apparently one of such things that they care about.

Amazing stuff. Thank you so much!
