Some people see “free stuff”, and assume that it’s now open season on wasting OP’s time.
It’s a good way to kill any enthusiasm. Imagine your kid made a spaghetti portrait as a gift for you and instead of just accepting it you asked, “but what exactly did you do differently from all kids on the block?”
Why? Why ask for this from the creator?
If someone can create new software and offer it for free, they should not also be expected to also create a comprehensive analysis of what other people did and list of differences.
Just take it or leave it, it’s that simple. No need to act as if you’re trying to waste some door-to-door salesman’s time.
Edit: I expected some downvotes but not that many.
To my defense, the question in this thread is “you could elaborate what exactly you did different than all the others”. Look, I’m not a native English speaker either but I feel we could agree that is still pretty far away from simply being curious about design choices or “what led you to create this” sort of exploratory question.
I might have overreacted, though, so sorry for that.

FTFY
I could describe myself in similar terms as you described yourself; basically a nerd who can also program my way out of a paper bag (and maybe a leather one).
To me the term “tech bro” always meant someone between Elon Musk and some low middle class douche-bag who feels smart and adult about “accepting” that AI needs to be everywhere and we also need to pay for SW every month. Someone person who would say “bUt iT’s fOrD mOdEl T” and has some Alexa non-sense in their house.
Do you “discard” the water by… just letting it into the sink? How long before aresnic is everywhere?

Funny how he made it basically for his desktop computer.
33 years later, and Linux is dominating in every part of the OS world except … the desktop.
(I’m paraphrasing his quote – he said something like this years ago, can’t find it, though.)
(Edit: to be more fair with quotes, it might be the case that I “hallucinated” the quote. he might not have said that, or he might have just said part of it and other part would be someone else’s comment. This cio.com article is probably a better source on his position )
“like this comment if you think this post is especially good”
“everything has pros and cons”
I usually give the CGP Grey’s legendary answer: “…but it’s hardly ever the case that all the pros and all the cons all PERFECTLY balance each other out, right?”
It doesn’t matter if I understand how the alien antigravity socks work -if they’re tech, they’re tech.
See? That’s what I like about the quote. It points to the fact that the difference is in the eye of the beholder.
from our perspective is implied in every sentence ever.
And no, you can’t expect phrases to “say what they mean”----that would just require them to include more phrases, etc…

Does it count as reliable if I only have sample size of 1?
Beyerdynamic. Had DT770 pro for 8 years before they “broke” (cable connection failed, I think it’s still fixable–making them last for many more years—by someone with skills I don’t have, and they could have lasted more if I handled them a tad better.)
Recently I replaced them with DT770 pro X and they sound perfect to me.
The title sheds a serious pun.
“Banana apocalypse” my ass, I’m not a banana.
Call me when bananas start falling from the sky, oceans turn into banana juice, and the Son of Banana returns.
makes me think of the good ol’t times when the air was cleaner, roads were safer and our bosses used to pay us in Thinkpads, not this “fiat money” nonsense.
Dixmoor is divided between two congressional districts.
I think it should be “two congressional dickricts” (but who am I to say, I don’t even lift. I’ve actually never lift there.)
I don’t have experience with Twitter or Mastodon but it reminds me of time when I quit drinking.
When I quit drinking and tried to stay around people I used to drink with, I realized really fast how pointless this “engagement” (really just two people speaking past each other, and feeling like they have deep conversation) is. It’s almost insulting what a waste of effort such an “engagement” can be.
