I don’t think developing a web browser to keep it up to date with new web technologies and new security requirement is just “maintenance”. LibreWolf or any other Firefox fork don’t have the ressources do that, that’s the problem.
You need at least a mid size company that pays top developers continuously for years, and believe in open source, open web and privacy at the same time, we don’t have a lot of those.
If Mozilla Corporations and its 700 employees goes down, I don’t think we’ll have another one like this. We may get new actors due to governments wanting to break Google’s monopoly, but I doubt they would take the same open stance as Mozilla. Other fantasies include some philanthropist billionaire or the EU deciding to create an open software foundation to finance the open web.

Has any of that happened on the average Arch in the past years? The only thing I have seen is an email once or twice a year asking to run a manual operation to fix a package migration.

FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. You don’t need to register. Just turn up and join in! FOSDEM takes place at the ULB Solbosch Campus, Brussels, Belgium, Europe, Earth. If you aren’t there, you may watch the live streams from the main tracks and developer rooms.

I think it’s probably because it is informal or maybe ambiguous.

I had a Pycharm linter with “inconsiderate writing list” flag my use of “bi” as inappropriate, recommending to use “bisexual” instead. In my data job, BI, means business intelligence, it’s everywhere.

Because it participates in keeping an old laptop fast and up to date.

I can’t remember, but something negligible compared to the price of a thin laptop.

I got the power button of my laptop repaired at an electronics repair shop, you could try that. It has been running well for 8 years with Arch.

It’s also important to note that you might come out ahead in learning those abstract concepts using a harder language.

I agree that you will learn more abstract concepts with more low level languages, but they are often not necessary. See Scala, beautiful language, lot’s of fancy subtle computer science concepts, and a plummeting popularity since its main popularizer, Apache Spark, implemented a Python API.

Development environment is a mess, but given its popularity, it’s not difficult to find an up to date tutorial. Then it is the easiest I think, you will be able to try programming basics and get a minimum viable product (small web app, small analytics…) easlier than with any other language.

Some people think that because Python is the easiest language to learn, it’s going to be easy to learn programming with Python. But learning programming is still very hard, so many abstract concepts to grasp. Python just makes it a tiny less hard, almost insignificantly now that we can use an LLM to learn the syntax faster than than ever.

Good point

It seems Netflix is able to detect that spoofing, and sends this error when trying to play videos, “Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later.”. I had to disable my add-ons one by one to identify that it was User Agent Switcher causing it.

Eating your foot’s dry skin in public should help restore your balance.

I’m glad that there’s no micro transactions nor loot boxes.
