unless, of course, your native UI toolkit _is_ GTK

Sure. But you're stuck with GTK on every platform. "Cross platform, so long as you want to use GTK everywhere" is much less exciting than using actual native cross-platform UI elements.

it's been done a couple of times :)

Yeah, TIL, turns out they changed the license: it used to be under https://fonts.google.com/license/productsans

wrong thread?

The popularity of systemd encourages people to require it, which is the major problem

that said iirc udev was formerly separate and active forks still exist

> The popularity of systemd encourages people to require it, which is the major problem

The usefulness of systemd encourages people to require it. Projects most often require it in cases where either there isn't an alternative, the alternative isn't maintained, or the alternative is missing functionality.

Self perpetuating growth. Systemd integrates many functions so people default using it and add even more functionality that bring even more people into ecosystem.

Which is basically how every tech ecosystem works.

The problem is that linux is supposed to not be just_another_centrally_controlled_ecosystem, so when systemd abuses their popularity by enforcing whole ecosystem (rather then cut itself into separate pieces), that is worrying

It seems like you're attributing to perceived malice ("enforcing") what is better explained by a combination of trying to get things done and not prioritizing replaceability higher than the benefits of integration. In other words, a project that simply has different priorities.

It turns out that many other people also like seeing stuff get done more so than they care whether the project in question is trivially replaceable.

probably looks for "import" at the start

Edit: yep, the test for Java source is just /^import.*;$/

I just searched "country in africa that starts with k" and it used your comment as a snippet answer

I assume this is meant to be "forĝejo" (place of forging), but dropping the accent makes it "distant gay man" instead

The “j” is pronounced like the English letter “y”.

they're the one that locked the issue

Pleroma emulates Mastodon's API, so most Mastodon apps also work with it

Thanks! That's interesting. Looks like I have some research to do.
