   @cadadr @isagalaev @alcinnz I have an addendum to the “80 characters per line” ideology: it's commonly enforced in plain text editors to ensure that people reading from a terminal can see it adequately, or to make it easy to read even with big font size (in case of emails following that standard).

     @alcinnz @cadadr To vomplement, as a reply both for the #Windows installer picture, and for what @cwebber said about #Guix: making isolated packages is indeed somewhat old. Besides submitting to official package repositories, these should review stuff to guarantee #GNU #FSDG compliance, which is against #Malware and other stuff, which many #Distro's don't care. Common distros also don't remove repositories of #Python / #Pip, #Node / #NPM, #Flatpack.

     @alcinnz This is why @fsfstatus and @conservancy advocate for community oriented enforcement of strong #Copyleft such as latest #GPL / #AGPL with "or-later" option and keeping individual #Copyright. Also please foster repositories explicitly commited to follow the #GNU #FSDG.

     @cadadr @isagalaev @alcinnz There is also a related etiquette that this one brings up, but not explicitly: don't open files with lengthy lines (more than 1024 characters, for example), specially if your text editor soft wraps/folds.

     Lengthy lines in files are typically auto generated ones (such as those from #HTML, #JSON, or #XML generators).
