Aren’t you basically just describing FOSS and framing it as a complaint? Valve for example has a vested interest in improving their software stack, and they do just that by donating both money and engineers to various projects. If these open source projects did not exist, they would have to spend the same or even more money on a proprietary licensed alternative, or to develop their own solution.

I wish that news articles would actually cite how they know things

Yep. When I actually started reading some news articles and quickly found out that I was on my own if I want to learn more or verify what I just read, really put me off that stuff.

When I actually post something informative, it seems crazy to not include the links I already have anyway. And make sure it’s viewable in the wayback machine if it’s something so predictably ephemeral…

If you’re willing to believe a couple of random news outlets:

https://www.axios.com/2024/12/09/altoona-mcdonalds-luigi-mangione-unitedhealthcare https://www.ibtimes.com/altoona-mcdonalds-flooded-angry-1-star-reviews-after-arrest-suspected-unitedhealthcare-ceo-3754683

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/9/altoona-pennsylvania-mcdonald-reviews-go-negative-/

Not hard to imagine thag G**gle would be on the case, deleting reviews by now.

.

There is a specialized player for that. Just run this command:

cat podcast.ogg >> /dev/null

Gets rid of all the uninteresting parts of any podcast!

I agree and always write it like that at first, but it’s also true that for example fifty kilodollars (50k$) just looks better as $50k

…although it might just be silly enough that it works…

One could argue there aren’t enough pixels and the artist just “filled in the blanks”
