People seem to conflate two things in this discussion: interpersonal issues (which are valid to talk about) and technical disagreements. Conflating these two can only lead to drama and reflects really poorly on the participants. Come on are

Yeah, I think this is a solved issue. People just share physical media with the content they need. Which is more useful than this proposed solution, because they usually don't misguidedly respect copyright monopolies.

I still don't get what is wrong with the _ convention. Also please stop complicating the mental model of languages for no good reason (also looking at you C++).

Because the working part of an organisation such as the one you describe tries to continually optimize away these restrictions. NPM (et al) is a good way to obfuscate the fact you're pulling unknown code to get shit done and processes

> Git (and any merkle tree) already implements a tamper proof linked list, there’s no reason to burn electricity in a proof of work algorithm to accomplish this. Thats why the word "and" is there in my sentence

Meh, being able to synchronise an append-only tamper proof linked list and control who gets to put what on it in a decentralized way is pretty cool. Not to mention it's far easier to implement with limited means, than 5nm chips, or lar

You had a very priviledged childhood then. The only response to my interests I got from my parents was "you are already good at school why are you straining yourself doing these unnecessary things". And I did not have bad parents.
