You're saying that, and yet even Leah Rowe is sick of that.
Also, try not to take my words out of context. We're talking specifically about the project mentioned in the article. Tell me, what value has canoeboot and GNU boot provides?
Coming from a (pragmatic) fan of GNU projects.

They're a bunch of idealists that are detached from reality. Kinda reminds me of myself back when I was still in college.

As a coreboot user, I'm laughing as well.
To me, this highlights the fallacy (and arguably hypocricy) of their thesis.

Proprietary products.
I am a big fan of free & open source, and I believe as much as possible should be open source, especially the essential ones, but at the same time, people need to get paid.

Just don't put it in your bedroom. All those dead skin cells wouldn't do good to it anyway.

I wonder how the read performance would be.

I'd say I'd prioritize the ones that have the most impact and usefulness on society. That means:
- all those self-help motivational books gotta go
- the books written by politicians for the sake of campaigns have no place here
- most school & college textbooks come and go all the time (fick you, Pearson) so I wouldn't include them, but there are all time classics that are worth saving
- all the religious scriptures (e.g. holy bible, quran, tripettaka) gotta stay, no matter how bullshit you and I might think
- classical philosophy stays, probably some modern ones as well (but I don't know where to draw the line)
- books about facts (i.e. science & history) documents stays, but not all of them; this is a hard one, some rigorous verification
- technical guidebooks (e.g. construction, gardening, electronic, software, machinery, chemistry, metalurgy) gotta stay, but needs rigorous verification, also technology changes all the time, so most of the outdated ones might need to go (saving some for historical purpose)
- fiction is the hardest, but generally the all time classic (1984, anyone?) as well as the really popular ones (sadly includes Twilight) stays
Whew... This is way more work than I initially anticipated.

Not a literary expert myself, but I guess when that "fanfic" gains its own identity.
There's no problem with the fanfics by themselves, but as the OP stated, the premise of is that the library is getting overpopulated, and we'd need to prioritize.

I'm sure there's a line between those and the Harry Potter fanfics.

Their concept of time travel is definitely unorthodox compared to other time travel movies. One of the main characters literally said not to think too much about it.
Everything else was pretty much explained by the protag.
He did mentioned that his line of work doesn't attract forward thinking people. This is quite realistic, I mean, have you seen how a lot of people (and companies) sacrificed long term benefits for short ter ones? It's also posible that they think they can beat that system.
Their future selves are killed to tie up loose ends. The change in power dynamic with Rainmaker's takeover definitely plays a role. This is actually a common trope in crime dramas (and probably also in real world).
It definitely is not a perfect movie, but it's a damn good one to me. I definitely think Joseph-Gorden Lewitt and Emily Blunt lack chemistry, and the sex scene was forced, but I guess it's somewhat realistic someone living in a farm out of nowhere all by themselves can get so horny...

I'm not trying to start a war here, just wondering what your takes are. They pretty much have the same concept of lightweight desktop, but with different toolkits. I'm a KDE person myself, but I've had experience with XFCE. I've tried LXQt in the past but never really gotten into it, perhaps the timing was just not right.
Do we have a default application for Note? I know it sounds mundane, but we have calculator, sound recorder, music player, even web browser. It just seems a bit strange we don't have a basic plain-text note application. I usually use Markor. I have no complaint overall except that it would stick out like sore thumb on my front screen due to it not having the themed icon. Devs & fellow users, what do y'all think?
