I change themes just often enough to completely forget how to do it and also forget whatever other adjustments I had to make to it all work. And like... is my config versioned somehow? This is a long way to say, Thank You for inspiring me to look at all that stuff again!
It's a shame to see you get downvoted (presumably because you don't cite any evidence for your assertions). As a counter-point, I will give the oft-quoted-by-me 1990s promotional video of the use of IBM CallPath on an AS/400 which should get you all misty-eyed https://youtu.be/5pY6Xxptp9A?t=2058
IBM it's a special case. You often have the exact tools under the terminal interface and the GUI 1:1. You can do the same task in the CLI, TUI or with a GUI, now it can perfectly be over a web. But for minimum latency the CLI and TUI are essential and even a 9front user as me I acknowedge that. But 9front it's a special case too; it was basically made to be modular from day one and you can just set a CPU server and connect anything into it over 9p, be physical or not. No SSH needed, everything works the same everywhere.
They're helping implement the policy. If you think the rules don't make sense, argue for changing them, don't criticize the people following them.
FWIW I think having (2025) for something 1 month ago in January, but nothing 11 months ago in December, doesn't really make much sense. I'd change it to add a year only for things at least a year old. But I barely think it's worth writing this paragraph about in a post I'm already writing for another reason. Definitely not worth giving someone else grief about.
It's zero value to you, but it's not zero value to the mods (as evidenced by the fact that the title has been changed).
"I can't change the minds of the people running the site, but I can make life unpleasant for people who help them achieve their vision" is not an OK attitude to have.
You can't appeal the rules because there's no governance process for it.
Unless dang or whatever makes a separate "Debate" section or similar. Ironically, a debate thread about the rules would violate the rules themselves. Well, unless you make it a rage blog post first...
why would you hedge yourself with a double-negative here? It was because of (open) protocols and not services that people could easily decamp and setup afresh.
Interoperability has always been paramount, but gets so easily forgotten.
