This is the obverse of the equally-timeless idea that the world is going to hell because the lazy, uncultured, over-coddled kids these days look/talk/act funny and play terrible music.
The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.
Is all this heat on The Pirate Bay simply because of its name recognition? There are many many more torrent trackers out there that all have the same content.
This is all pretty much exactly why freedesktop.org (formerly XDG) was formed.
n+1 standards and all that, but the major specs have been adopted by every DE that I'm aware of.
As to when it will all filter down to distros to split out unnecessary package dependencies, I have no idea. I'm not familiar with a whole lot of packaging systems, but AFAIK there is no package installer which can mirror the compile-time --enable-feature and --disable-feature behaviour of configure scripts such that you only draw in packages dependencies based on the optional features you select, and don't end up installing pulseaudio because you wanted a lightweight notepad-like text editor (for a made-up example).
Netgear's consumer-level NAS products are now using btrfs. This being the Internet and all, folks are complaining in forums and Facebook about...well if not about this then I guess it would be something else.
There is no fee for applying for Energy Star certification, nor for using the label.
I have no such optoelectronics experience, but I am as skeptical and cynical as the next guy and curious about where the "pay-for-play" aspect comes in.

Literally no one has ever said that.
That's exactly what they did to the service that I used (and made fair donations to annually) for years: everydns.net.
FWIW, Netgear's ReadyNAS lines have been using btrfs for about a year now.
Some folks are more particular about fonts than others, but I really like Adobe's (free/libre) Source fonts:
Proportional Sans: Source Sans Pro
Monospace: Source Code Pro
I've been using those as my system default sans and mono fonts for a few years now.
VLC is (mostly) a media player. Nightingale is a media library manager similar to iTunes or Windows Media Player.
You will end up being the only person on the whole planet who cares
It's usually at this point that a person finally realizes that that's pretty much how they started out, too.
I have no knowledge of their content selection (I think it's only movies, no TV shows), but Vudu uses the pay-per-view model you're looking for.
You want to know how I know you didn't even read the first sentence of the article?
A few, but it's mostly just Massholes.
That's actually why I linked to the short article about the origin of the quote, which is usually mis-attributed to Socrates.

Oooh oooh ooh, when is it my day to decide what should and shouldn't be allowed? Am I on the schedule yet? How do I get on the schedule?
You speak as if we all had "consensus" to spend money on certain things.
You do. It usually happens in early November, when you choose which people you will send to DC to represent your interests.
RAID is a backup scheme for hardware, not for data.
Indeed, the same can be said of the whole canon.
I currently live and work in Cambridge and I'm curious, how far is that drive and how long does it take you?
Because that's a massive $30-$40 billion/yr revenue stream that banks fought tooth-and-nail to protect when the Credit CARD Act was passed in 2009.
It's extremely rare for extensive personal projects to satisfy the HR filter for a position looking for professional experience.

xmove was around for forever, while xpra is the latest gen implementation. Why would you claim that they don't exist?
WhoTF leverages instructions? What botfly with an MBA has crawled into your brain and taken over your speech center?

Basic simple interface: List of feeds on the left, headlines on the right. That's all I want.
Out of curiosity, what exactly needs updating if it already meets all your requirements?
