There are well adjusted people that choose their behavior based on empathy and there are well adjusted people that choose their behavior based on what is allowed/normal. There are way more people in the second category

Information set isn't a description of XML documents, but a description of what you have that you can write to XML, or what you'd get when you parse XML.

This is the key part from the document you linked

The information set of an XML document is defined to be the one obtained by parsing it according to the rules of the specification whose version corresponds to that of the document.

This is also a great example of the complexity of the XML specifications. Most people do not fully understand them, which is a negative aspect for a tool.

As an aside, you can have an enforced order in XML, but you have to also use XSD so you can specify xsd:sequence, which adds complexity and precludes ordered arrays in arbitrary documents.

I use vscode (or codium when not at work) these days because it's a one stop shop for every language and every feature I could ever need is possible with a plugin. I have used visual studio, intelliJ and others in the past, and i fail to see the distinction from a usage perspective

not leeching, Valve mostly lucked into this monopoly because of how grossly incompetent competition was at the time.

Just to be clear, the majority of the current competition is not only incompetent but actively malicious. The ones that don't suck already have a toehold and I would like to see flourish because competition is good for everyone, but this picture you paint of steam is honestly ridiculous.

Thank you. I'm not against any of that, except maybe some definition needs to be applied to what is infra and what is store. For instance, a big part of what people like about steam is that they have reliable reviews. That would need to remain true with this split. I think there is a fine line to walk between enforcing interoperability and compromising or letting other companies leech on steam for no reason. You also seem to be implying that regardless of what store you purchase something on, you can access it from any other store because steam manages the licenses? Seems strange to me.

Yeah the DE is your desktop, launcher, window manager, setting manager etc. So Gnome, KDE Plasma, mutter, etc. It is what most people will notice.

The distro is basically a package manager and assembly of packages. So if you were to use ubuntu for instance, there is a default DE, but you'll notice there are a bunch of "flavors" available. These are mostly different desktop environments and default applications, but all of the stuff in any of them are in the package lists and available to install regardless of flavor.

The main differences between distros are

• release cadence
  • fixed. They release a major update on a regular schedule and only backport bug fixes and security patches
  • rolling. One package set that every installation always updates to latest
• package management
  • some are able to manage packages purely by GUI and some you must use the command line (or if you can use GUI at some point you might have to fall back because it doesn't have first class support)

We need to not have cars at all since that solves all the problems at once

It turns out that things are complicated, and that a company that is pro consumer in so many ways that almost nothing else is can get praised for that and denigrated for doing predatory loot boxes.

And that a billionaire owner can get praised for maintaining a pro consumer company and denigrated for running a loot box racket and buying yachts. All at the same time.

It's so exhausting how people like you have to go on every thread and complain that people are happy about something instead of mad about everything, energy single time the company comes up.

After work is exercise, which you need anyway, but it also shakes off the doldrums and provides a clean break between work and evening

Pretty sure Apple just packaged shit other companies made with extraordinary marketing. Like the ipod circle everybody went nuts for they settled a lawsuit with creative because of patent infringement. I actually had a creative zen and loved it because it didn't have Apple software trying to control my music library.
