That is a funny question (in the good sense). I would argue the VCs are cargo culting themselves, but of course another could argue that once the VC money has moved into the pockets of the programmers, then the important part of the process is done.

I just doesn't necessarily create any useful software.

There is funny business going on at manjaro, but by god do they deliver! I run 5 linux computers at home for various ends and I got tired of putting a new Ubuntu on them every now and then. At the time I looked at manjaro, other rolling distros couldn't even survive an update from the latest installation media to current (sidux). Arch is/was a hobby in itself and the opposite of what I was seeking, but it is an excellent foundation. Manjaro has kept these 5 machines for over 5 years through every possible update and it never broke them. Kernel switching is a joy. Driver installing switching is a joy. This is a very tall order.

That said I do hope endeavouros or others can fill Manjaro's immense boots.

We have our skills, and the ability to implement anything that we can imagine (with the necessary detail). They can't take that away.

I consider Tor to be completely compromised. Consider this:

1) Political entryism by ideologues. These people stand against merit, and these are the same people who every few weeks post a lead-balloon of a thread against it in this very forum and others.

2) Recent purge of non-aligned team members on trumped up bullshit that only offends the now-dominant political ideas

3) Large, long redesign with obvious flaws

4) Unwillingness to address the reported flaws

We are not talking about ICQ here, we are talking about Tor. If the Tor team is not concerned about this, then what are they concerned about? What else are they even doing? Why is it that in this age of total surveillance, when even Torvalds had to face the wall while they purged his team, nobody in power is bothered by Tor? Ain't that the fucking shit?
