Platforms like Mastodon don’t quite fit the bill so they fail to gain traction.

They may fail to impress VC, but i wouldn't say they fail to gain traction... especially while commenting in one of them.

Any open WiFi nearby?

It's one of the latest my mobo can handle AFAIK, and i like to maximize my hardware for longevity (one of the reasons i prefer AMD over Intel, their CPU generations span multiple sockets).

Also, not a gamer.

Debian for ages, now Gentoo, Slackware and occasionally Devuan. Not really niche i'd say...

Because i like choice and flexibility.

Find me a job listing that advertises a lower wage for women. You won’t find one.

That would be asking for trouble, duh.

It's illegal in my country to specify gender too, so all ads say "(m/f)", do you really think there won't be a hiring bias when hiring for a role where one gender is predominant?

Disk space and RAM availability has increased a lot in the last decade, which has allowed the rise of the lazy programmer, who'll code not caring (or, increasingly, not knowing) about these things. Bloat is king now.

Dynamic linking allows you to save disk space and memory by ensuring all programs are using the only one version of a library laying around, so less testing. You're delegating the version tracking to distro package maintainers.

You can use the dl* family to better control what you use and if the dependency is FLOSS, the world's your oyster.

Static linking can make sense if you're developing portable code for a wide variety of OSs and/or architectures, or if your dependencies are small and/or not that common or whatever.

This, of course, is my take on the matter. YMMV.
