That may also potentially be survivorship bias. IMO the only open source projects that would live to tell the tale are:

  • Foundational projects that are critical components in major tech stacks, having a backing in the form of funded developers or donations from companies involved in those tech stacks
  • Enterprise-scale projects born out of a consortium of companies
  • Hobby projects that the creators aren't relying on as their sole source of income

At least two of those categories are reliant on funding from companies, which in turn relies on either their well-entrenched presence in their respective market, or their ability to market themselves effectively (ex, via advertising).

Ah right I worded that wrong, sorry!

I guess what I mean to say is, would a non-negligible sized "singularity" (I know I'm messing with that term quite a bit, I'll stray from the mathematical definition) be consistent with our current theories?

Gonna hijack this post to ask a somewhat related but possibly stupid question, would it be possible that instead of a singularity there happened to be a region of space with non-negligible size (ie, not a point sized region) that acted like a well instead? Things could "fall" into that well and not be able to escape, but it's not like everything in the well is at a single point.

Ooooh yikes, my bad. I'll edit to fix 😅

Ungoogled Chromium.for me, pretty convenient as a Flatpak

EDIT: I missed the memo about Kiwi being an Android-only browser, whoops!

I can suggest LogSeq as a nice alternative for Obsidian. Notes are all in Markdown too!

I wonder if the Henry Stickmin collection was the reason it took off
