Linus torvalds famously said you shouldn't rebase for shared work, it's not a clear cut thing that not knowing how to rebase is bad per se since you shouldn't be using it a lot in the first place in his philosophy, refusing to learn is a different story however.
Specifically he said that changing shared history is bad - that would be the master/main branch or release branches, not e.g. your branch.
Not knowing how to rebase means that in order to stay up-to-date with a shared branch you would have to merge it each time and thus produce something akin to a spruce tree in your commit history.

Dictatorship is very good at combating crime if it's under good hands (which itself is a tall order imo), just look at Singapore, the problem with dictatorship is the lack of accountability and 99% of dictators simply suck at governing hence democracy is usually better since most dictators have a severe case of Dunning–Kruger effect. People like Bukele and Lee Kuan Yew are very few and far between.
Crime nearly always goes down with dictators, that's not a good metric. The question is how many completely innocent people have their lives ruined or lost in the process.
I've always wondered why people dismiss dedicated hosting without a second thought. It's actually cheaper than AWS if you factor in all of the performance you get.
I do recall reading somewhere that Amazon.com isn't actually hosted or fully leveraging on the AWS platform, mostly due to the political struggle between the AWS and the merchant department.
This is one of the generation gap thing. Kinda like knowing how to install Windows 95 OS on a machine, you need to run all sorts of command line utilities before you can actually perform the installation, and you have to go out and get the drivers manually, and sometimes you have to use your floppy disk to install the CD rom driver so you can install the network driver from the CD, then select the right .ini file in the driver folder that matches your CD readers spec. People used to know how to do all of that, but nowadays?
I think we'll probably have a generation of drivers who will simply not know what to do and would probably get lost easily if their phone breaks/data-plan runs out.
I would also use Typescript as well, because, type safety is super helpful when it comes to debugging. Unless you never programmed in a static typed language like C# or Java before, there's not really any good reasons for avoiding it imho.
Many of the examples in that doc are Android < 4.1 (0.06%), IE < 9 (0.48%), Firefox < 24 (~0.1%), etc. Even IE 9-11 is only 4% of the market these days.
The browser-compatibility story is dramatically different from when JQuery was created in 2006. All of the major browsers have been auto-updating for several years now.
