Two things, mainly. They do a lot of the production steps in-house, as opposed to having a web of subcontractors (who have their own subcontractors)for each component. But the big thing is just efficiency of scale. Building and launching 100 rockets per year doesn’t cost 100 times more than one launch per year.

You don’t even start panting, because that is a response to CO2 buildup

Also does not contain any concrete allegations regarding election fraud.

Is your precious "stabbed in the back"narrative so much more important to you than engaging with reality?

The linked article fails to even make any concrete allegations. It simply refers to Donna Brazile’s book.

I didn’t see any election fraud. Can you explain how the fraud worked?

It reads like different people wrote different sections of it

Why not ask him to personally murder a Republican governor? After all, your guy Trump would do it…

Carjackers (especially young carjackers) kill cooperating victims on the regular around here. My car isn’t worth a human life, but my car isn’t what’s being threatened in a carjacking.

Yes, but the amount of it in the air globally is not increased by burning hydrogen. The processes that remove extra water vapor from the atmosphere operate on a much faster time scale than the ones that remove CO2.

The size of the recoverable deposit is also not that well known at this point.

You said that Xorg being abandoned is the problem. How should we interpret that, other than a criticism of the decision-making process of the devs?

I also hear that ALSA has some support for multiple applications per device nowadays, though I understand it is much less pleasant to use than a fully featured sound server.

FYI

Many older sound chips had hardware support for mixing multiple streams, and so the alsa drivers for those happily allowed multiple apps to open and write to the /dev/snd/whatever device. Life was good and people got used to doing it this way.

Nowadays (since like 2000 lol), sound chips generally expect a single pre-mixed stream. So the sound device for those is exclusive open. The libalsa devs made it possible to have the first app to open the sound device act as the sound server for every other app that tries to open it later. But it was complicated and fragile and just a bad idea in retrospect.

Then the problem is that it’s abandoned, not that it has stagnated

By all means, feel free to start working on it!

All the people who developed Xorg for 20+ years decided that creating and working on Wayland was a better use of their time. But I’m sure you know better…

The problem isn’t that Xorg is spaghetti code (it’s pretty good for a large C project, imho). The problem is that the X11 protocol was designed to expose the capabilities of 1980s display hardware.

Stagnation here specifically does mean that nobody is making bug fixes or security patches anymore. Xorg is abandoned, kaput, a former software project.

The new architecture allows developers to fix one thing without accidentally breaking 3 others.

Pioewire handles audio and video pipelines between applications.

Wouldn’t a centralized database/authentication server have been a simpler choice?

By far, which is why many people assumed that the plan was to start flogging NFTs later (once it became more difficult to back out).

Previous to the switch to snaps, Ubuntu was providing the latest version of Firefox built for each supported Ubuntu release. I’m sure this was more work, but the older system library version issue was not a blocker.

Edit: in fact, Mozilla still provides an apt repo with Firefox deb packages built for each supported Ubuntu release.

“velociraptor” rolls off the tongue way better than “utahraptor”

Smart card support is still completely broken. I kinda need that to use Linux for my work PC.

The install images that included the non-free-firmware were marked as “unofficial”.
