This is the kind of thinking that will prevent adoption to the masses.
Why do people always assume that is even something desirable? All that will get us is more requests for support with fewer people actually helping.
Linux doesn’t have to be stupid hard to use.
And the assumption that GUI=easy and CLI=hard should have really died in the 90s when it started.
There were probably text based online games (MUX/MUSH/MUD/…) that had it even earlier.
The fact is that major tech companies are investing billions in this.
They have literally invested billions in every single hype cycle of the last few decades that turned out to be a pile of crap in hindsight. This is a bad argument.
Most importantly it takes a lot of effort and is essentially outdated the moment it is done unless you slow down and complicated every other process by funneling every change through the spec first.
And by “pizza shops” you mean that one pizza shop that tried it back before BTC got really expensive?

All that really tells us is that the people who defined the term were remarkably stupid.
Also a bit sadistic to be honest. Bringing a new form of life into the world only to subject it to PHP.
Most people have the concern that the Trump concept is being copied to their country’s politics now.
Not while you are showing them you are still on there.
That doesn’t mean leaving now isn’t better than staying.
The rationale is that it’s better for them if they use their software without payment instead of using a software from another vendor without payment.
More importantly it is better for the company if they use their software without payment instead of developing some sort of competitor (open source or proprietary).
I think the problem is that ActivityPub doesn’t scale as well as email does thanks to the constant need to update and cache data from each instance one of your users interacts with.
Sounds incredibly dystopian to me, sort of like that whole idea of letting universities decide whether crimes on their campus are prosecuted that seems popular in the US for some weird reason.
Considering they are not even capable of removing video recommendations for videos you literally just finished watching on Youtube I doubt it.
