  • There are a lot of instances where that may not be practical. The maintainer may be indisposed or may be even passed away. Perhaps we shouldn't attach too much significance to the name. Instead, make projects more discoverable and get creative with the names.

  • Why just Google? Search has gone into the gutter across the board. Certain search constraints like excluding keywords or sites no longer work. Amazon doesn't even care what you type in - they just show you what they want you to buy.

  • Just dump Google's browser and all their services. They are not necessary to make use of the internet.

  • Is it true that "Linus recently indicated that it's maybe time to move on from email"

  • Torvalds indicated in a recent interview that they're struggling to find young maintainers. Many people contribute, but few stay around to become proficient enough and take on the responsibility of maintainership. I believe that the email comment was made in this context.

    However, I don't think that many kernel devs including Torvalds are in favour of the Github workflow. He once indicated his strong dislike for it. So the replacement for email won't be Github - but something just as easy, without sacrificing the quality that the kernel devs need.

    Finally, a word is kernel development. Contrary to popular belief, they aren't hostile to new contributors. Kernel developers have high quality intro material for newbies - including for email workflow. They're also very considerate and patient with newbies. Even Torvalds who was known for his abrasive style in the past really took that only on experienced developers doing the wrong thing.

  • I mean, if it's a one time payment then he has no reasons to regret the decision even if the users dropped off. On the other hand, if he was expecting a recurring royalty from the buyer, then he didn't think it through.

    PS: I'm not justifying his actions in any manner. If a sale without a heads up is deceptive, his last reply was outright indignation. I'm just trying to understand whether he actually regretted it or not.

  • I thought it was a one-time payment.

  • Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away.

  • Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence*.

    • Except for Google. This is the same company that decided that 'Don't be evil' is inappropriate for them.
