Can someone explain the benefit of letting AWS use your product, then throw resources at it to improve it to get and advantage over your product, basically providing a much better product to their users than you would be able to. But they do it without any need to contribute back. I don't see the benefit of this to the opensource community at all, but people here seems to be quite passionate about it so you must see this differently than I do. So, please explain your view on how such a situation is beneficial to the OpenSource community.

I have been a vim user for more than 20 years. I tried to quit for a couple of years, but now I have just accepted my faith.

Yes, that was the first that came to my mind when I saw the TIL post.... which also was why I felt the need to see if that rant is still valid, or if modern libraries could handle that.

From their documentation

Unlike classic terminals, Warp requires you to sign up and log in to get started with the app.

So, yeah, it might be that people are not very impressed by a terminal that requires a cloud account.

But, if you don't type anything sensitive on to your terminal, like passwords and such, then you should be fine....

Also, it was easier to support X11, since there is no security. You wanted to read other applications key events, no problem. Want to read the screen, without without anyone knowing? No, problem, just read it. With Wayland you must use APIs for stuff, and you are not allowed to do everything.

No, what you describe is called "Rent" or "Lease". People who press a "Buy" button and buy something, expect to own it. Words have a meaning, and trying to wiggle around this with fine print should be considered fraudulent.

Saudi Arabia felt Twitter was a problem, so they paid Elon to take it down in a way it wouldn't come back.

Well, for eggs, that are carbon based, you will in fact have problems since carbon doesn't have a liquid state at regular atmospheric pressure. I guess you can add pressure, but is that really what we mean when asking a question if something melt?

The pricing is a bit much, especially compared to other services like Tutanota that actually runs servers and provides a service in addition to developing the applications. $20-$30 for the onetime purchase option would be more sane.

I know I bought Sync Pro for Reddit, but I know that was nowhere close to these prices.

EDIT: Found the Remove Ads option, and that is more reasonable priced.
