I wasn’t even talking about SW here, just how fan is used these days. I’m not and never was part of the SW fanbase, but from what I’ve seen from the outside that’s because all the legitimate criticisms were ignored years ago and everyone that cared moved on from the new corporately-stoked toxic fanbase.

I hate how fan now means mindless consumer these days and any reflecting on the criticisms of a series means you’re somehow excluded from being a fan.

To spell it out for you, Just because something is well established in the industry does not make it good.

You miss their point

If as soon as it’s more profitable for it to not be they stop supporting it, then yes they were pretending.

Even worse than outright negativity, there are capitalists that spin negative things as uplifting because they ignore the horrible things that happen to get there causing an unhealthy dependency on said horrible things…

I am referring to commercial speculation, and I literally laid this out in the second sentence, thanks!

Nuclear, or if you want space stuff, build a station at the Lagrange point and sling from there? I don’t need to be an expert in launch solutions to know that we shouldn’t speculate mining the moon till it’s well researched and that we have more accessible options here for the forseeable future with solar as my choice of example, so let’s not jump the gun on another finite resource?

it’s not the answer to every situation

Actually, better than that, I’m not an expert! There are professionals whose jobs are to design those systems and could do better than I putting together a solution. However, more destruction of finite resources when there is easy access to an unlimited resource should be limited to final resorts.

More Wensleydale for me then :3

Though, of course, simple scientific curiosity may not justify the enormous cost of the undertaking. That’s where commercial interest comes in.

That’s not what this is about, the author doesn’t care about that, all they see is a finite, exploitable resource that will line their pockets.

However, to answer your question, we already have that technology.

Laughs in electric train

Imagine claiming mining helium is the solution when free energy is right there radiating from the sun.

Yeah fair point

Pretty sure Yakuake is the OG?

This is what turned me around: investigating and realizing that it is following the unix philosophy, it’s just under the hood (under the other hood inside the bigger under the hood).

Most? I don’t think that someone who installs Dash to Panel would say most of their features are extensions, just some essential ones. I feel like you could go as far as “If any essential features you use are gnome extensions you shouldn’t be using gnome.”

Aria2 in the terminal has this feature:
