This tool is FOSS, what do you really mean

'Xitter' is pronounced 'Shitter' and is common a playful joke

Pretty sure you already can't block him specifically, I'm not on Xitter but have heard from several people this is the case.

This is the exact metaphor I've been using when talking to people about the issue. Did we both get it from somewhere I can't remember, or is it just perfect?

The goal of this proposal is to advance a superset of C++ with a rigorously safe subset.

The subset is of the proposed syntax superset. Reason being because the superset also contains explicitly unsafe syntax similar to rust.

Binary Large OBject

Basically any binary file, often objected to in open source repos because of the lack of source and 'openness'. See also the recent xz backdoor.

IIRC the reason for this is because synthetic vanilla flavour was one of the first to be produced, so while actual vanilla is still quite valuable, it became the go-to 'default' flavour.

It also doesn't run off battery power, hardly apples to apples.

Presumably it will come back as some free-to-play, live-service microtransaction-filled nightmare that can be supported by a few whales and eventually make up the cost

They should gather that before they set the price. Once the box office doors open, increasing the price is price gouging plain and simple.

I disagree with this whole 'market price' thing because as a consumer you don't have constant opportunity to buy. You get one slot where you are are the front of the queue, and if you don't like the price then tough. It essentially just rewards those who got to the front sooner, and punishes later joiners.
