"Every version is stable" is definitely not "just like every other branched model". Why not just have an increasing number or date as a version number if everything is stable? The major and minor numbers don't make in this way if "everything is stable".

Good on Nick. Do what you want buddy, you had a good run. Go have some fun doing what you love.
Now it's time for a corporate user of libxml2 to donate resources for maintenance and bug fixing or forking it. It doesn't always have to be on the shoulders of unpaid maintainers.
"Simple". That's not simple.
AOC is a programmer?
Why make your own phone? Why not partner with Fairphone? Fairphone seems to be the only vendor out there that sells phones with an alternative ROM (/e/ OS), they might very well be open to an alternative OS like Sailfish.
I doubt it. Most likely complying without complying. Then they dont put their monopoly in jeopardy. If people found out they could use any other app to communicate with WhatsApp users, then WhatsApp would have to actually compete on features and not "use it because everybody else does".
Being able to check off the box of interoperability without actually interoperating with a competitor is just a trick in my eyes. I hope the EU commission sees it that way too. Given how they want to placate the US though and the concessions they have been making, I won't hold my breath.
"If I need to write boilerplate and learn a new skill, is it really worth it?"
It really pisses me off when something doesn't work and the first thing someone says is "must be Linux". Bro, I moved away from Windows because of all the bugs there. Don't try to bullshit me into thinking you live a bugfree life.
My system is as fast as when I first got it (minus maybe the extra bloat websites have acquired due to bugger JS libraries and unnecessarily big assets). On windows reinstalling every year or every second year was normal.
Waydroid is GPLv3 and that's great. Hopefully contributions will be upstreamed. Waydroid, Wine, FEX... Valve is contributing to great things!
Latest release was 2 weeks ago. Not sure how "dead" that is.
It won't be interoperable with anything people use, making it only theoretically interoperable. Wake me up once I can use it with Jami or Matrix.
My guess, it'll be rewritten in rust.
