Aware, yes. Interested, no - closed source philosophy, and the way Apple implements it specifically, turn me off hard.

Ah, und die Antwort ist wohl: Keine Droge, dicke Kleidung.

Soweit ich das auf Anhieb nachvollziehen kann, scheint das hauptsächlich ein Problem von “Taser trifft das Ziel nicht ‘richtig genug’” zu sein. Ganz anderer Mechanismus, aber am Ende der Eskelation die gleiche Shituation. Hab’ jetzt auf Anhieb nur was von grob 60% Erfolgsquote/40% Versager bei Taser-Einsätzen gefunden, das ist… um Größenordnungen schlechter, als ich gedacht hätte.

Pfefferspray - OK, kann ich nachvollziehen. Taser - welche Drogen muss ich nehmen, daß der mich nicht mehr beeindruckt, äh, “stoppt”?

Which - in my considered opinion - makes them so much worse.

Is it because writing native UI on all current systems I’m aware of is still worse than in the times of NeXTStep with Interface Builder, Objective C, and their class libraries?

And/or is it because it allows (perceived) lower-cost “web developers” to be tasked with “native” client UI?

Well, I’d guess no one would keep you from going “shopping” at the nearest pharmacy.

Might be OT since I never was much of a distro hopper.

Got introduced to Linux with SLS, used RedHat until it became too commercial for my taste. At that time, found gentoo and stuck with it hard. It allows me to have completely custom packages fully integrated with the system package manager, that’s the top killer feature for me.

I’d guess about monthly to bimonthly, in the sense of submitting a fix for an issue that affects/concerns me/my use of open source projects.
