Poor sleep is a widespread problem and very few of those people are cognitively doing it intentionally as some sort of "tradeoff". The number of people "grinding on a startup" is tiny compared to the population of people who suffer from this problem. Instead it's caused by things like general anxiety, too much screen time before bed, or not having consistent sleep schedules. And other health related reasons that compound the problem.

I had a FreeNAS I bought around ~2010 and didn't use it for a couple of years at one point and when I went to use it again I could no longer update it, which meant I was on an ancient version of FreeBSD and none of the modern software ran on. So this literally happened to me already.

Then you need a NAS, a backup process (backing up large collections of movies to S3 is actually pretty expensive). You need to keep your NAS up to date. You need to install / configure Plex, oops that's closed source now, uninstall that and get Jellyfin. Eventually your NAS hardware will be outdated and you'll have to get a new one and migrate your files over.

Even for technical people this is a pain over time. Nothing like just having a disc that can last 50+ years if properly stored.

Why would "right mouse click" be part of a protocol?

I'll go a step further, you probably don't need zsh at all. Once you install Starship there's not much difference if you just use bash.

I don't know why people are down-voting it. You might not like it, you may not think it's good. But this is absolutely happening and there's a lot of data out there about it.

Why is that preferable to just pivoting?

I've read this but I don't get it. Why can't those parts just be 3D printed on demand?

CDs skip very easily so they're not good for portability. So that limits their use to in the house, and they're you're competing with vinyl. Cassette fill a niche in the nostalgia world being something you can more easily use on the go.

I don't understand how people use these tools without a subscription. Unless you are using it very infrequently paying per token gets costly very fast.

So the point of this is to clean the cap table, right? Current investors aren't getting a stake in the new company?

One great thing about Forejo is that you can have a FreeBSD builder and on GH you cannot, have to spin up a slow VM.

Also framework laptops work (mostly): https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/freebsd-on-framework

Even if true, not having great support for laptops doesn't mean "no one uses FreeBSD". Obviously it's supported by essentially all server hardware and is used there, as well as many routers and the Playstation.
