  • Old isn’t necessarily bad, unless years of decision-making have left it in a massively complex state (see also: Xorg)

    The real reason here is that LibreOffice is written in C++, which is falling rapidly out of fashion for modern apps, leading to a smaller supply of developers.

    Contrast this with Onlyoffice. Yes, the document engine is still written in C++, however the build tools use more modern items like python and onlyoffice supports having Javascript frontends and scripting, making it easier to source web devs to work on these parts.



  • Maybe the article is not biased, maybe, just maybe, the tech deserves this huge backlash because it is trash and nobody asked for it, not even game devs, or whatever you call people who make games but their games are not in need for this tech

    If you can’t recognize bias in an obviously biased article, then your media literacy skills need work so that you can recognize different types of bias.

    Hell even the current popular LLM’s, which are glorified statistics chat bots, can see this pattern and identify heavily statistical traits of bias in this article.










  • OpenAI could direct anyone working at Astral to insert whatever they want

    This would be suicidal for the project if it ignores the community. the project would instantly risk forking and OpenAI losing the ability to influence the ecosystem direction.

    to your second point on needing contributors and infrastructor after a fork, while this is true, uv specifically has seen MASSIVE adoption both for hobbyists AND corporate interests. it has greatly simplified the overall python packaging experience. I would not be shocked if other corps began supporting a community fork if the main project went off the rails.

    Bun, another open source project, has been doing just fine under Anthropic nearly a year later. Until there is more concrete info on the direction this will take, the fear is MASSIVELY overblown. uv is quickly starting to hit critical mass adoption and may be too important for it to end up in a dumpster.
