@BrodieOnLinux I wonder how this affects how Mozilla is/should be spending its money. People have been saying that they wish that Mozilla would only focus on the browser, but would that mean that they get less money from Google, and are therefore able to do fewer things?

@BrodieOnLinux@b0rk is an excellent blogger, as is @cadeyThey occasionally cover Linux topics. Their websites are: https://jvns.ca/ https://xeiaso.net/And this post was by someone who doesn't focus on Linux, but helped me understand part of how Linux works: https://faultlore.com/blah/c-isnt-a-language/@thephd blogs about the C programming language at https://thephd.dev/ , which seems relatedI also watch Mental Outlaw, Distrotube, The Linux Experiment, and you on Youtube.

@BrodieOnLinux I don't think it would be possible to cheaply prove that there are undesirable side effects. If one big application is using the .cache directory to store data the user really needs across reboots, then you personally might not use that application and be hurt by its data loss, but somebody else could lose one computer boot's worth of data that way - which could be quite a lot.

@BrodieOnLinux uutils is trying to become a drop-in replacement for coreutils, so, if distros adopt it long enough from now, like a decade maybe, there might not be much difference in compatibility between them.

@BrodieOnLinux I'm glad that they seem to be contributing back to the project - if they had stuck with coreutils, they might not have seen any need to do so.
