agent Smith, the one that don't care at all about conforming to POSIX?
"In fact, the way I see things the Linux API has been taking the role of the POSIX API and Linux is the focal point of all Free Software development. Due to that I can only recommend developers to try to hack with only Linux in mind and experience the freedom and the opportunities this offers you. So, get yourself a copy of The Linux Programming Interface, ignore everything it says about POSIX compatibility and hack away your amazing Linux software. It's quite relieving!"

Music Assistant (https://github.com/music-assistant) is really onto something good, and it looks like they are working towards native clients. Multi room, streaming, lyrics, DSP, catalogue of local media.
The cars sell because that's what the customer wants (as opposite of what EU wants customers to buy/rent/share). There's not a single ordinary brand new car sold in EU that I'm interested to buy if I could afford. Cars used to be fun until 2010-2015 something (when instruments were still tactile and less "automatical" features were obligatory) - I do not want to pay for e-call, automatic lane assistant and so on. Might pay for rear camera and parking sensors though.
There's lots of things that are not needed, but that are desired. I do not need a huge pick-up truck, but wouldn't mind a car with a great ground clearance and wheel base. I do know lots of folks that need big pick-up trucks that wouldn't agree on "engineered need". Perhaps you live in a big city?
Canonical brought us some interesting concepts, like cloud-init, and it's been my first choice for cloud-images, but this toxic culture of them motivates me to choose a better image. Or just something like Nixos.
just because it is ubiquitous doesn't make it good. I spent my fair share in cloud-init land and it absolutely sucks. The complete state flow is a mess with exceptions all over the place.
_giorgio_ is probably not a vi/vim/nvim/neovim user..
Many years ago I used vimperator and it made Firefox behave with a very much vi-like experience. Unfortunately, the halfway implementation of Vimium (and Tridactyl) is too annoying for me so I don't have it installed.
