They don't choose. Choice is something to make when people have enough time and resource. Instead they use what they are familiar with and have little time to grab and learn a new thing.
Free software comes with an implicit cost while pirated Windows doesn't, ironically.

It does not work like that. $ is required in shell languages because they have quoteless strings and need to be super concise when calling commands. # and // are valid identifiers in many languages and all of them are well beyond the point of no return. My suggestion is to make use of your editor's "turn this line into line comment" function and stop remembering them by yourself.

There already are conventional abbreviations: see Section 2.1. I doubt they will be better supported by tools though.

The point is 140kbps opus is almost identical to 320kbps mp3 for human so it saves over 50% size for the same quality. Also it's a royalty free format.

Thanks for the info. I still wouldn't consider these as long-term solutions bc they tend to be frequently blocked and/or are really slow.

No it can not. It is needed to connect to a VPN first in order to reach the tor network from China.

Also parquet if the data aren't mutated much.

So why not just use the lean and maintainable wlroots

wlroots can't be used (comfortably and idiomatically) in Rust because it's too hard (if not impossible) to provide a memory-safe interface for it.

we can move to another implementation of the Wayland protocols.

So unfortunately this has already happened.

the developer chooses to work with these publishers beforehand

What kind of paradise are you living in?

Btw, for those who think it's natural to select things by left clicking on them, try pressing space in dolphin to activate the "selection mode".

Any stream content. Any subscription. Anything that I can't access because of my nationality.

I'd pay for other things.

You may find yourself lucky at nyaa.si, but there's not many.

Yes, except that in Windows 11 they messed it up completely by making it laggy and adding the functionality to randomly crash itself.

KDE Plasma 6 for the resolution of so many issues; COSMIC DE as a brand new choice in the future; Guix System to have KDE and more packages shipped because it's literally the best designed distro as of now.

When Windows decided to auto update in the middle of an important meeting without any prompt;
when I download files overnight and the fan takes off at midnight by its telemetry process;
when it gives me a full screen ad trying to change my system settings and stops me from entering the system on time;
when the system starts to integrate with ads from the browser to the taskbar.
It's not because how good Linux is, it's because how bad Windows has become.

So I left after my little checklist of must-to-haves is fulfilled. With no regrets.

By default you can always roll back to the last working version from boot menu.
