Yah, or maybe because it smells like bullshit. All data is based on surveys from "normal" people (non-scientists), on a topic that is highly politicized, and by practitioners of one side often followed with what looks like religious fervor. The participants distribution is neither 50/50 for the compared options nor representative for the general populace of cat owners. It is pretty safe to assume bias in the reporting. Not a single cat was actually examined by the "researchers". This has almost all the hallmarks of bad science. That it is published in a purportedly peer reviewed magazine, does not reflect well on that magazine.
A tale as old as mankind. Like 20 years ago I saw a movie. Some indie thing from France or Spain. The kind of shit that gets highly acclaimed at the Cannes film festival. In one scene there was a bricklayer reciting a poem (from the top of my head and loosely translated from German):
My grandfather was a bricklayer.
My father was a bricklayer.
I am a bricklayer, too.
But, tell me, where is my house?
I got a lot wrong initially reading that blog post (updated my comment accordingly). Though, I can sympathize with what he's saying in that screenshot specifically. If I did maintain a popular open source project I'd rather completdly remove the social aspect than try and manage it.
How so? I mean, I am tempted to agree. Reaching out to that unofficial community to improve their conduct instead of just ignoring them is pretty idiotic. But, are you sure you've read the linked page and understood its content?
I didn't pay attention when reading the linked page. Its author is/was the creator of wlroots, not hyprland. He reached out to the lead dev of hyprland which is very much associated with the discord community. I got so much wrong reading that ...
Well, we live in a democracy: 9 out of 10 people enjoy bullying or don't care about it. If you hate democracy, go to North Korea, snowflake!
(obvious /s is obvious)
In other non-news: Using a software doesn't require visiting a loosely associated unofficial community. This has strong vibes of people wanting to be Christian and changing Christianity while being opposed to ~half the bible's content if they bothered to read it. Just fuck that cesspool and move on with your life ...
It's not wrong what you are saying, but it's unrealistic. Being "thick skinned" is almost always useful and almost never required. There's not enough doctors already, and only so many "thick skinned" people. Becoming a medical doctor already requires a set of skills, that only a subset of humans have; adding being "thick skinned" as a requirement is simply naive.
There is a distinction between regular updates and distribution upgrades. The latter have to be done manually. I know that distribution upgrades via GUI have been in the works; no idea if that is a thing yet.
As for what's missing: The most important thing to keep in mind is that fedora releases only get security updates for 1 year after release + some grace period depending on the date of the n+2 release.
I just started skimming through that playlist, because, why not? It's the result of democracy - it can't be all wrong. WRONG! There's no Gabber Techno. Like, none at all! What's wrong with you people?!
No USB passthrough in VirtualBox without the extension pack. And unless you have a paid version it is a license violation to use the extension pack in a commercial setting. Take that with a grain of salt: it's from the top of my head and it has been a while (years) since I touched VirtualBox.
Since you are concerned about privacy, I'd suggest not touching closed proprietary software, like VirtualBox, at all whenever possible. Luckily, for virtualization in linux, that is perfectly possible. What you will want to look at is kvm/qemu. And maybe a handy UI to that like (qt-) virt-manager or gnome Boxes.

That's a very polite way of saying that part of the target audience are idiots.
