on: Show me a 10ft paywall, I’ll show you a 12ft ladder
Exactly this, the "why?" section sounded weird to me. Paywalls (specifically subscriptions and paying for a service directly) are a way to not need AdWords, if those don't work then what can websites do to make back their hosting, dev, writing and all other costs than using Ads

Is there a simple way to just reenable all the ppas at once?

Isn't that just how proof by induction works? You assume the hypothesis is true for n and prove it for n+1

on: Jog: Print the last 10 commands you ran in the current directory
Does this only show for the current directory? It doesn't seem so from the documentation

on: Your users will do what you make easy
Exactly, I played RuneScape a bunch in highschool and would spend some weekends just grinding. Sounds boring af, but the fun thing was talking with my friends, or with complete strangers. MMO may be able to use social interaction to offset the problems of grinding, although it's probably not for free. Some incentivization for interacting with others, and safety features to feel comfortable to reach out, are needed.

Use broot as tree is not necessary of course `tree | less` works for that but as hinted in the article broot contains a lot more features. Fuzzy finding, preview, multiwindow copy/paste, renaming, directory navigation etc

on: Compile your software
Is it required for open source software to support every combination of compiler, kernel, libc etc? We wouldn't say it has to support every version of any other dependency (not provided by system)
It's definitely a nice to have, but I think it's also valid for some project to say we support the version we used in CI and for releases. On the other hand you could say being stuck on a specific version is skin to relying on implementation details, which is a code smell atleast.

on: Rust 1.x seems to not always be backward compatible in practice
I would love to know what the errors actually were, maybe a deeper dive into what and why compatibility was supposedly broken. Did the rust developers know that they were breaking compatibility? Firefox is a pretty big high profile user of rust, a breaking change couldn't have just snuck by.
