Having written libraries in .Net I fully disagree with that notion.
First insanity is figuring out what in the fuck you need to support. .Net framework or .Net standard or .Net Core or Mono (or .Net Duplo or .Net dot nes :P).
Second is the Source generators. I swear using t4 templates is the saner option. I've had cached artifacts appearing out of the fucking nowhere like unkillable zombies despite closing the Rider, clearing its cache, and killing build server.
Third is the availability of packages. In Rust and Java there are like several libs for anything (even if C bindings).

This kind of versioning on public APIs, I understand, but syscalls are only meant to be invoked by ntdll. Why do they need more than one?

I'm not sure if it's fair to call it rigging, but there was a massive smear campaign against a judge nominated for their constitutional court. Leading to the nomination being withdrawn when it really should've been an appointment as usual. Which is likely the first massive step toward Germany politicising one of the foundations of their democracy, similar to how the USA supreme court seems like it's red vs blue when looked on from the outside.
I'm guessing this conference is rather left leaning, which is why they'd called that rigging, but there wasn't election fraud. It's an issue of course, since this means that rich people can essentially buy massive influence on the German democracy by clever use of social media and lies. Which may seem like the norm to a lot of people on HN, but that's not how it has traditionally been in Germany.
It's now alleged that this was caused by a disinformation campaign targeting MPs of that party.
