The hard part is "that add value". Not only it's hard to measure, but highly depends on scope of what is done

I find inability to record/screenshot (both audio and pictures) the most annoying. They actively broke call recording because "what if it's illegal", then published their own call recorder, but only in India, or something like that.

If I have something on screen I always can take a picture with another camera, creating obstacles doesn't add privacy, it only serves to deter the laziest of bad actors and actual fair users

For instance, social media apps and shopping apps will know if you took interest in something, not just guess based on time you observed the screen. Besides, they will think you liked something even if the reason was not that

⅔ of a joke, if you will

The team I'm part of wants to ditch Nix in favour of just about anything, because no one wants to maintain Nix and everyone sees it as just source of problems :(

I agree that it was complicated to learn Nix for me, too, but now I see benefits in it but I can't make them change their mind and tired of trying. Nix could've been much easier to advocate for if the language itself wasn't this esoteric

Well, they will try to eat everything they can reach

I may be too far from Python to tell, but it looks kind of incorrect to equate the author and their product. What if Guido decides to stop contributing, will Python end then? Creators of Rust spoken about the fact that Rust went very much not the way they wanted it to, this doesn't make them not creators, nor does it make Rust not Rust

First of all, thank you for a thoughtful response, I was too snarky, sorry about that.

TL;DR: guess I'm just upset that there is no objective way of measuring how much knowledge is required, and trying to read everything from sources list would take forever.

Yeah, the last point is sort of a strawman, although I meant it not to highlight that explanations should be given in terms that the reader is used to, but rather that the reader may have quite arbitrary amount of prior knowledge.

I agree that there probably should be some shared context, what bugs me is that people tend to vary a lot in what amount of context is considered to be required. And more than once have I met papers that require deciphering even if you have some context and kind of come from the field they are written for. I used to think that this is our of malice to make reproducing their work harder for others, but maybe it was just an assumption of much larger shared context.

Tables markdown work in some clients, afaik, but I don't remember which, and even if I saw it or imagined it

Nah, this could've been possible with some clever fuckery in defining those emojis' unicode content, like with flags that are not a single point but three independent ones, allowing you to do this:

"🇧🇬".reverse() == "🇬🇧"
"🇬🇪".reverse() == "🇪🇬"

Yet we live in a world where

Afaik, comes from Latin that had no "U" and "V" was both vowel and consonant until some point in time.
