I tend to ssh in as root, but TRAMP also supports escalating with su, sudo, or sudoedit (or doas).

apt-list on said Ubuntu system.

I'm fairly certain that the graph you're thinking of is complete bullshit. It only had approximately a third of the package count listed for a particular Ubuntu version than said version had in actuality.

Drama certainly doesn't seem to be a problem for GNU.

Isn't nixpkgs still a pretty bad state? I know there used to be a lot of "abandoned" packages that went years without updating to the new versions provided by upstream, that a lot of packages were copying binaries around instead of building open source software from the source, etc.

And often, that Emacs keybinding emulation is incredibly incomplete. For example, Matlab's Emacs emulation doesn't have M-w bound and I believe C-k doesn't copy, it only kills. And the emulation is the default setting on Linux.

What truly grinds my gears about Wikipedia isn't the amount of false information but the amount of uncorroborated info. The amount of times I've read an article that made large, sweeping claims about something and then not have any citations, often not even a "citation needed" box should be frankly unacceptable.

Not to mention the heaps of economic research showing that there are quite a lot of benefits to the existence of billionaires.

I do find it interesting how pretty much none of Wikipedia's organisational controversies and institutional deterioration (a lot of which have been going on for ~20 years) really made it out to the general public.

I was about to mention Haskell as well, I feel like it also avoids this sort of cognitive load. Maybe it's something to do with the languages being designed as functional languages instead of languages with functional components.

1. Medics aren't hospitals. Nor are they any other building for that matter.

2. There's literally an exception right there in the singular sentence you linked to.

The EU has approximately 110 million more people than the USA.

Lisp manages it. Even if you do use type annotations.

Yes, they're saying that some members of MSF aren't neutral, which risks the perception of the whole organisation. That's a mile away from saying the organisation is political.
