I'm surprised how real Rogan sounds and how Jobs does not. Why is that?
More data to train on?

LSP will not become obsolete, it will evolve. The entire industry is rallying around LSP, and Microsoft is constantly improving the protocol. In "ten or twenty years" LSP will have become a required feature for every programming language and every text editor. It will be essentially impossible to replace it with any other technology because of the massive investment already made in the ecosystem.
I can imagine Tree-Sitter slowly losing importance because LSP is integrating semantic highlighting, but Tree-Sitter will still be an easy option for writing grammars in the absence of a full-featured language server.
I can easily imagine a comment like this being written 30 years ago where "LSP" was replaced by "tags files".
I don't think this is the place to air out all the dirty laundry from the past two years, so I'll just say this: since the time I've joined the site (three years ago), I haven't seen a single ban that wasn't warranted, be it due to a single incident of flouting the site rules or a pattern of behavior.
It is true that the moderators are fairly strict regarding behavior that wouldn't be punished here (such as abusing flags to down vote), but I don't see that as a necessarily bad thing.
Regarding the thread you linked, I'll agree it was the admin's fault for writing the passive-aggressive banner that led to that (well-respected) user leaving.

That is hard to say, if you were to look up my final thread, all my comments were deleted, and you have no way of evaluating if the judgement was fair or not. I held the same position, assuming the moderation team was doing a good job until the hammer hit me.

That is what I am getting at. He has "joked"[0] that the job of moderation is stressful, and it is known that he has other problems[1] that aren't making the job easier for him. I believe that this shapes his moderation style, and not for the better. He errs on the side of over-moderation, which was exactly one of the faults HN hat, that motivated the creation of that site.

I think I first found out about the site in 2015. It look me 2 1/2 years to get an invite, and I visited it every day, and frequently contributed links. I belive at some point I was among the top 10 users, but I was kicked out because the main admin had some grudge against me, so when I wrote a controversial comment he banned me. Fair enough, his site. Retroactively I think this was for the better, as the climate was getting worse and worse. I have met some of the most dishonest people on that site and had some of the most frustrating discussions I can recall. In this respect, HN is preferable. What is sad is that I don't think this was always the case, and is it Lobste.rs that deteriorated over time. There was a long thread on this last year: https://lobste.rs/s/zp4ofg/lobster_burntsushi_has_left_site.
When I was banned, I sent a message to the administrators whether I could get a machine readable file of all my comments. I thought to myself, if I had already spent all that time commenting, I might as well repost them on my own site. But the administrators all refused to even discuss this with me. I sent them SQL queries and everything, but they didn't even regard me worthy of a response. This was very disappointing and unprofessional.
So what I want to say to the sibling comments who are looking for invites, consider it twice. There are annoying people everywhere, and I haven't found a website format that can prevent these from popping up.
> transmission-cli is considered deprecated
Wah! Bad news! I like to kick off a download from an SSH shell. Now I have to find out what transmission+remote is.
You could also check out rtorrent: http://rakshasa.github.io/rtorrent/, but I remember reading that development has stalled on that project.
This is the most spectacular waste of time I have ever seen. I absolutely love it!
Not necessarily, this actually sounds like a great bootstrapping tool. All you need to write on a new platform is a BLC interpreter, which should be easier to implement. Using the C->BCL translation, you might be able to build something like TinyCC and work up from there.

I don't mind, every phone has that now anyway. The big deal is that it isn't so asymmetrical, which I quite like visually and has practical benefits too (you can use it lying on a table).
I was under the impression that the Pixel 6-7 have a far more visible and perceptible bump than other devices.

No way, if you go caseless, it's so much better than the asymmetric camera bump. If you use a case, it doesn't matter either way.
Perhaps, but my point is that the bump is too prominent. It would be nice if it could be more flat.

Most people I talk to dislike the camera hump on the back, but Google insists on it. I guess it is their new design language. Sad, because I think the simple design from the Pixel 4 to 5a was quite nice. But from what I hear, the series 6 hasn't been that much of a hit as they had anticipated it. I even once saw an ad for it in a cinema, which surprised me as non-internet Google advertisements have been rare in my experience. Not sure if the 7/7 Pro will be better, or if they will just throw everything away in a year or two, and start all over again.
Then again, the only reason I was even interested in following the development was because I had been considering to buy a new phone after 5 years to use Graphene OS.

> Any person who feels excluded from participating in the Free Software movement is a loss.
Yes, but not every loss is equal, and in a changing world, growing groups will eventually reach a point where not everyone who wants to play will agree on the same ethics, which will lead to someone feeling unappreciated.
If I had the choice between losing a F/L/OSS contributor who has spend their life writing highly influential software and a F/L/OSS contributor who opened a 200-line-Python script once, half a year ago, I know who I would consider less of a loss.
I want to believe that this is not a necessary conflict, or rather is at best one that can be resolved. The choice still remains difficult, as you don't know the future, so it is preferable to have both on board.
