The russians just hate. Just everybody.

There are 190 ethnicities in Russia living fine. Your take on that nation is kinda nazi.

I like boss/controller–worker the most.

Meh, might need to change it in the future if the commie government comes to power.

Will they return the master-slave terminology? It’s actually funny how the Newspeak wheel is turning.

Is there anything important left in Africa that is not owned by China?

Didn’t Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta all donated much more to Harris than to Trump? It’s more like he got elected despite the big tech influence. Which explains why he’s saying against them.

It has everything to do with national security, they just don’t consider common people as part of their nation same as slaves weren’t.

There are plenty mistranslations in politics done by humans already.

Talking about steam, steam-powered things are 2 thousand years old at least and we still use the technology when we crack atoms to make energy.

Why does he need suicide watch uniform? Are they planning to Epstein him?

You say it like it’s okay to do if you are not fucking massive.

Didn’t you need new laptop for MacOS as well?

And it changed the Internet, for good and a lot.

That monitor looks so sexy.

I also thought it was about space. Good for the app though.

What’s good exchanging one bad service for another bad service? Elon can just buy it.

It’s actually disturbing that Thunderbird is the only good smtp/imap client available and it’s not receiving that much funding.

HTTP/3 is UDP though.

They weren’t just random Russians, they were working for companies under sanctions.

That’s just false. First, nobody in the maillists claimed those specific people were working for sanctioned companies. Second, at least one of the banned maintainers, when advised to contact their company’s lawyers, said he isn’t working for any company at all, just freelancing and doing free work for the community.

What were they supposed to do? Ignore the sanctions?

Yes. It was(and probably still is) literally written on the Linux Foundation website that the US sanctions do not concern open source community. It goes against everything open source ideology is, that is code and contribution is all that matters.

And what’s worse it raises serious concerns what other malicious actions to the Linux kernel and other projects Linus and LF had to take on demands of the government that likes to install backdoors in software.

I don’t see a problem with Flatpak in this. It does what it’s supposed to do. You find not using it better? That’s great, that option is the default in all of the distributives.

Is it even a problem for a desktop in 2024? Never had an issue with RAM or diskspace. And even for those that have, they can just not use flatpak until they upgrade, no reason to kill it.
