There are a lot better animals for all of those purposes.

Rabbits are an incomparably better source of meat, and you don't need to feed them grains to get good yields. Also they're the only ones who convert plant trash into directly usable fertilizer.

Ducks are a better source of eggs, and eat pests from the garden without digging everything up.

Guinea fowl are better as an anti pest bird.

The only thing chickens have on them is the reason why they've been spread across the world: cocks are easily persuaded to kill eachother in a brutal fashion for human entertainment.

Chrome and Firefox, VScode, Zoom and whatever other random crap

So chrome, Firefox, chrome, chrome, and probably more chrome

Most maintainers are volunteers, but not all volunteers are maintainers...

Besides the obvious non-package work, if you make a single pr for some random package and never again, you're not a maintainer.

The Nix ecosystem is developed by many volunteers and a few paid developers, maintaining one of the largest open source software distributions in the world.

demanding work that we cannot expect to be done by volunteers indefinitely.

being pale skinned is not ever sufficient to actually be white

Slavs aren't white, can you guess why? It has something to with the etymology of the word slave.

And every package is added and maintained by volunteers.

It's an obvious vector for malware, arch by default doesn't come with it, and users have been warned the entire time to check pkgbuild. There's nothing fishy, it's just that arch has enough users to be worth it to hit it.

Nicotine never was the worst thing, health wise at least.

I mean it's a language specifically designed to be easy and quick to learn. Even if you don't work with primarily, you'll find it useful for stuff like cli programs, advanced scripts(instead of python), small services, etc.

They work, but aren't they primarily for plants and bugs?

How is this not a spear?

Even the shoebill stork has a pointy end

Wrong shaped beak for that, shovel instead of spear

I know, I was joking
