So… are there any FOSS hackers who stream themselves working on free software? But like, the focus is on them, not just the code? And like maybe they get up to get a cup of tea or do some stretching etc and you can just imagine their inner monologue going “should I break out all this code into a library, it’s getting pretty big… and maybe I will need this in the future… just like I need a hug… or maybe I should open a flower shop and bake my own bread and live more in the moment” and the programmer takes a deep breath and everyone watching is confronted with a realization that they are distracting themselves from their own existential dread by watching someone else go through existential feelings.

One reason can be if the involved apps don’t have unrestricted battery access. Then the OS will put the app to “sleep” when not used. Could be worth checking.

Politics aside, the Rumsfeld quote makes perfect sense to me.
