It's not limited to 100 steps. The decimal system gives you infinite granularity.

Or evolve the ability to echolocate with the reflections of the background noise. Like our eyes does with light.

If the sound is more of a loud hiss, you might find that echolocation can work very well. Much like our eyes collect available light bouncing off surfaces, similar techniques can be used with sound.

Barrel wear will be crazy. As will heat generation.

But did cucumbers look like that 4000 years ago?

I don't have much of a problem with the small open source projects that are generally very good at filling gaps or addressing niches.

I think most of the waste is coming for the development done by the large open source houses. The canonical and red hats of the world. They should stick to what they are doing well, which is the foundational stuff.

I think it should be: "Software that is yours"

Overall, I think more focus should be put on consolidating similar projects.

Do we really need 6 different window managers that follow the same design logic?

Do we really need each major distro to have its own package manager?

How many image and PDF viewers do we need? How many music players?

Can we convince Ubuntu that no one wants snaps and they are wasting developer resources.

The freed up capacity should be focused on better windows app compatibility. Something akin to Valve's push in gaming.

Can we start a class action lawsuit in the international criminal court for the USA running a biological warfare program now?

Intel started running into trouble 15 years ago when they appointed CFO leadership as CEOs. They eroded 20 years of engineering leadership for the sake of "stakeholder value". They also destroyed the company culture that made them successful and replaced it with MBA corporate BS.

You can't rebuild that overnight. You basically need to start over.

Or they are gearing up to sell, so they pull this stunt to make their subscription numbers look better, before the cancellations start rolling in.
