Logged in to mod this up. No mod points. Me sad.

+1 for rain sound loop

It actually also exists with Java : I use Groovy shell for this. It accepts (almost) Java syntax. You need to know a thing or two about subtleties like "==" being "equals", but if you know what you're doing, it's perfectly fine.

Yeah that first line was a lame joke; and I realized after the fact that I was actually (in a way) half-trolling: I actually semi-consciously thought something like "this will get clicked, and they will read the rest"...
Now I'm gonna meditate on my errors and refrain from commenting or modding for some time. Smiley face.

Of course. That first line was a lame joke (also, sorry for that smiley thing...), I would never do that.

I disagree, so instead of modding down I'll reply :-)
I guess there are several kinds of people, those like you (I think I get your point), and those like me : *I* was really fascinated about computers and programming *per se*.
It was not about one or a few particular goals, it is about the idea of an infinity of things that became possible, and being able to bring new kinds of solutions to almost anybody on the planet. In this regard, somehow I'm joining your point, because of course there always are ultimate goals, but they were not my own : they were other people's goals that I thrived to reach using my craft : programming.

A bit lame, but I chuckled...

Yes, the job has to be done, but I don't see how a full-automatic system can do it. It requires knowlege about the project, what's going on, etc. And yes there are developers who are really bad at committing code: writing helpful comments, but also paying attention to what the "diff" will look like (i.e. avoid slipping a critical change in the same commit as a refactoring, or at least explain it very cleary to help locate it).
This is the project leader's job to monitor this, and talk with developers who need to make progress on this...

Website Blocking Law !

Here is the problem with your suggestion. I don't think Joe Sixpack or my aunt Monique would take proper care of their private keys.
Biometrics may help with that, but there is no universal&practical solution right now.

I thought Mate was a Gnome2 fork, this (Cinnamon) is a Gnome3 fork.
So, which is the way to go ?

... yields no result in the open letter (TFA does mention it but only about old news).
Even if they don't merge back, I feel they should still work together (or did I miss something ?)

Oh thanks man, this made my day, possibly next one too.

A good thing it's friggin' late here, I'm alone in the open space (in this kind of space, everyone can hear you scream. Or laugh your ass off.)
