I see it more as warriness than hatred. Whether or not they act "good" now, they have a near monopoly. It has a lot of potential to go bad for us consumers, even if the probability might be low. Murphy's law apply: if it can go wrong it will, someday.

Is that an autistic trait? (honest question). I get irrationally frustrated when someone tries to have a conversation before I had some downtime / too soon after I wake up. I've never understood why I get so upset about it

Maybe you're aware and it doesn't fit your need, but in case not: there's a snipping to ocr tool provided with PowerToys. Win+shift+T and select a zone, il ocr it and puts it in your clipboard. Good stuff. There's also NormCap that does the same : https://dynobo.github.io/normcap/

Optional is my favorite example to give, at this point most people have internalized how to use its map function and how it works

Not sure if they are a large part of framework's consumers, or just very vocal in that thread.

Tbf I don't know much about the Hyprland history. The point raised by the OP on the forum links to tweets by both framework and Hyprland accounts saying framework became a "gold tier sponsor" of hyprland. It's fair to assume that involves a donation.

Don't cherrypick a single issue raised by the OP to pretend the whole discussion is about that, please

I live in Charleroi and agree with the sentiment :D it's not the same vibe as Liege though, might be even worse...

Your point is valid, if not well presented ; doesn't deserve the downvotes imho!

Making public transit free instead of making it better, and then use the fact that nobody uses it anyway to demantle it further, is a bad thing. I think Not Just Bikes touched on that in one of its videos.

But it's not always the case that free = bad. If it's already efficient and continues to improve, it can accelerate the growth of public transit. Luxembourg city is one example I know where it seems to be working, and a "good faith" effort.

We have our own to deal with, you can keep the bitch, tyvm

Thanks for the advice! The 16 is probably as overkill as you say, but I've come to prefer a larger machine to work on.

I already have Proxmox installed on a secondhand mini-pc (one of those NUC / thin-client like office machines) and it's been a great way to (re)learn a few things indeed!

Thanks for the heads-up. I've seen that the first gen had a few issues, I understand your frustration. I even saw a solution involving soldering a wire onto the motherboard? My hope is that they got better as they gained experience, and that hardware support on Linux will only imrove with time.
