To be fair, it's also missing open_dialog_file, dialog_open_file and most crucially file_open_dialog

Half of the linux ecosystem is personal projects.
Linux itself started as

just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu

It's not useless as you can learn from it.

Github is not a software distribution platform, it was never meant to be one. It's a developer platform for code distribution and collaboration. And UI is designed around that.

A lot of projects use it as a distribution platform, but they're wrong - it's always better to have a web page with simple download button for casual "ordinary" people.

But, this case is special: this mostly harmless tool is designed and almost exclusively used to stalk / doxx / hack people =|. So, it's not in developers interest to make it widely available and easy to install.

only a small number will sign up for a specific forum

Most people don't have to sign-up, 90% of cases should resolve on just searching the problem. Good chances it was already asked and answered.
Most of the time, forums with few users aren't dead, they're just really slow, whenever you post a question - expect at least 12-hour delay. I've never seen a message on Discord answered 12 hours later - you either get somewhat instant response or it's ghosted forever. Also good luck asking questions if there's heated/rapid discussion in the room, or you have a little time and other responsibilities other than checking discord every couple minutes.

Reminds me of mongolian tea: VERY strong, 70/30 milk and water, teaspoon of butter and a pinch of salt (enough to taste it and a little more).

I don't drink it often, because it's reallly unhealthy. But it's really good beverage for cold winter nights or after tiring work. It gives you a boost of energy, without the usual sugar fatigue that comes after drinking sweetened coffee/energy drinks.

IMO, go's gopher is ugly, not cute. But, anyway, there are better reasons not to learn Go.

How much their ad-free tier costs? Can I pay without them tracking me? No? Then fuck you (website owners), I will be freeloading and will advertise freeloading.

Btw, use uBlock origin on Firefox, I haven't seen one of these annoying screens in a while.

Tip: instead of making schedules, try to build habits.

Start with something small and make an effort to do it every single day for a month or every day of the week for three months.

The hardest part is to be consistent, so try to not skip more than one day.

From what I remember, they require a credit card info for people outside of US. Here's my sign up screen with Netherlands VPN:

Joplin (FOSS and probably general go-to for cross-platform open source notes in general but is a bit of a memory hog)

This comment describes my frustration with modern software.
How could a note taking app be a memory hog? You could type out a whole War and Piece and it shouldn't take more than couple megabytes to store it.

Not a language per se, but subsets of languages used for fantasy consoles usually do not implement import functionality. TIC-80, PICO-8, etc. etc. WIKI I wouldn't call that a feature, but it drives you to write less and more space-optimized code.
Now that I think about it, source code size could be a feature in itself, look at codeGolf-oriented esolangs:

  • Pyth
  • CJam
  • GolfScript
  • Microscript/Microscript II
  • Seriously
  • Rotor
  • Minkolang
  • Gaia
  • Jelly
  • 05AB1E
  • japt
  • and more...
