Did your breakfast material not come with a bill?
Then the IRS knows you bought breakfast 👹

Even better, each and every particle of ink can be a network connected nano-machine, the usage of which, is available as a subscription.
If and when your subscription expires, all ink connected to your account will stop working. Ink previously used for printing, will fall off the paper.
This can be prevented, on using special HP papers, with an ink-capturing coating of nano-machines which can be separately subscribed by the owner of the product of printing.

Meaning, now you can print books with HP printers and the customers can pay you a subscription fees to keep the book alive. Alternatively, they can print on HP paper and you can pay subscription fees to HP yourself.

I call it IaaS (Information-Retention as a Service)

Finally, a way to use the loads of RAM I have other than Compiling and Blendering.
Well, I guess we also have RAM drives

For which cases did you need cake for example?

Since you asked, I don't usually need cake, since I don't do parties, but I might occasionally buy a piece and eat it.

Hasn’t Kate been replaced by an upgraded Kwrite or is Kate still maintained?

kate and kwrite are both maintained and usable side by side on the same system.
In terms of features... kwrite : kate :: notepad : notepad++. Kinda... kwrite is still much more featurefull than notepad.
They have KDE Frameworks dependencies, which makes it non-trivial to install on RHEL when you can only access the local base and EPEL repo.

RHEL at work.

Not having Kate or Okular is a pain.
Need to download cmake for certain cases.
Subscription Manager is a pain.

Air gap means I can't make do with snaps.

I would also gripe about not having KDE, but that would be unfair and off topic in this case.

"It's all KHTML", I heard.

Best part, all content you watch is free of cost and tailored by your own brain cells.

The companies will just go around blaming some random engineer for it and then go on throwing money for PR stuff.

Debian is in many ways the “deep end”.

The first time I tried Debian was when I was new to Linux, on a laptop with both the Ethernet and Wi-Fi unsupported. On top of which, it had an nVidia GPU. It was hard.

Now I know much more about Linux and checked the Motherboard for Linux support before buying it. Debian works pretty well.

So, it's beginner friendly as long as someone helps you out with the installation after checking up on all the stuff you will need to run.

I remember one of my seniors at work asking me how open source software manages to develop so much without a direct monetary incentive.
"There’s no lack of resources to give everyone everything they want." <- is the point.

Our civilisation has enough people who like coding, willing to put their spare time into OSS, to be able to get good quality tools for use in all fields. Now all we need is for all of those people to be given enough spare time without having to worry about things like mortgages, loan payments and basic survival in some cases and everyone can profit (including the companies who would be giving them the spare time).

Sure, go ahead and blame the tool.
Then blame the science.
Then blame the scientists who developed it.

Blame everything but the thief.

\s

Then blame free will for all crime in the world and all wars waged.
