Probably familiarity. A lot of people joining kbin or Lemmy were using reddit for years prior to their move. Its easier to embrace something that's at least familiar than it is to jump right into something totally different.

I really hope not. Piped has been the only way I use youtube for a while now and it's a far better experience then actually having to use their web app.
Hard to say. I used "hoping" because I still have an irking feeling that this won't ultimately result in much change. I think a small amount of reddit's base will be upset and may migrate to a different platform (like lemmy, beehaw, kbin, etc.), but the vast majority of reddit's base won't actually understand or care about these changes. The group of users that does decide the leave the platform will have multiple options though and I don't suspect the number of users to truely be unmanageable for any of these places. This is just my opinion though.
It feels weird to want history to repeat itself, but I'm really hoping Reddit has to deal with the ironic situation of users migrating from the platform en masse due to awful management decisions.
The isolation paragraph seems more like a gripe with Gnome Software Center rather than flatpak itself.
It most likely doesn't scale to have all developers keep track of all the dependencies of all their software.
Also not sure I agree much with this. When developers don't keep track of their application's dependencies, end users often end up having to do it and it's a much worse experience overall.
I do agree with that it ends up being more of a burden on developers to maintain dependencies in their package. It's not great knowing there are potentially patched issues sitting in older libraries that are shipped with a flatpak because a package maintainer hasn't had the bandwidth to update them.
12 years later and GabeN's quote still applies. "Piracy is a service problem"
These games are my goto for a "complex but still fun" mood:
- X series (X3 and X4)
- Endless Space 2, Endless Legend
- Crusader Kings 2
- Stellaris
Part of the purpose of NixOS is providing a means to build a reproducible environment that's easy to configure, migrate, and rollout. You can absolutely handle configuration of many different programs using either flakes or the native modules provided by nix. You can customize your entire system from firewall entries, to users and their shells, to the kernel itself and the kernel modules you'd want it to load, all in a single file or multiple files. If you want to try doing all those things in bash scripts, good luck and please share your experiences but don't expect it to be as easy as the Nix ecosystem.
