Xfce is very replicable. Moving my install to a new system usually involves little more than copying the config files between home directories.

MV3 is supposedly more secure (for data collection and ad delivery)
More secure from adblockers too. They're protecting the ads.

So, why should GNOME support server side decorations?

This is the biggest issue with CSDs aside from the wasted space coming from oversized buttons. Every developer's gonna put different, inconsistent things in that title bar.
The close window button is basically universal, but what if I want to minimize the application? What if I want to pin it to all workspaces, stack it on top of other windows, or roll it up? With CSDs there are no standards.

If you had/have enough disposable income, what would drive you to donate to opensource software?
I've contributed code. After doing that, donating is a much simpler decision to make.

I'd like to add Piefed to my aggregator, but its RSS feeds are a little too bare-bones to be usable. No descriptions or authors? Just the article title and a link?

I did cut back significantly since that initial switch. At one point, I had 1TB of music. Right now it's sitting at ~210MB of mp3s. Quod Libet uses less RAM than Firefox, Thunderbird, or RSSHub, but it is sitting at 4th place on my system.
I don't think there's a way to scale music libraries to these obscene sizes without impacting RAM. Unless you manage it strictly with a file manager and open album folders individually with a lightweight player used only for playback.

nodejs + thousands of feeds processed every hour, so I'm gonna go with yes
Firefox is for opening links that appear in Thunderbird with my current workflow, RSSHub generates the vast majority of them

If I remember correctly that one blocks every site that has AI. This one just removes AI from pages were it's annoying (like google search).

What a strange take. When I first switched to Linux in ~2009 I tried a ton of other players. Weirdly, Quod Libet was the only performant option back then. Amarok, Rhythmbox, Banshee, Clementine, etc all chugged to load my library with their UIs freezing for upwards of half an hour before I had something usable. Quod Libet just worked.
Right now it's using 598MB with a music library of ~31K songs.
