what are you gonna do now? i might switch to keepassxc but i don’t wanna learn new stuff.

Maybe rocket.chat?

It’s not how open source works but how venture funding works which is boggling minds here

Git is decentralised by nature. It’s what allows mirroring the repo on other forges even when git repos are hosted on proprietary platforms like GitHub.

They have always equated sovereignty with instability

In UNGA resolutions China always votes against Israel in favour of Palestine. Voting records are publicly available here: https://digitallibrary.un.org/search?ln=en&cc=Voting+Data

What’s matrix 2.0? Are they finally gonna use the go backend as opposed to the python one?

It said something else before the edit but it’s all good now.

How does one be a populist while not pandering to the public.

I would say that is largely irrelevant. Chinese EVs are so much cheaper there is no way Western producers can compete with them barring tariffs. In a level playing field Chinese companies will completely push out the Western ones in low- and mid-range market. For luxury vehicles maybe the brand recognition can save them but in a tight economy cheaper cars will attract a lot of attention.

as well as their own operations in China

This is the reason. It is not because of their interest in fairness or free market (there is none), but because China is both critical to their production process and a massive market that cannot be ignored. If China retaliates their execs won’t be able to buy their tenth yacht.

Yeah. Progressive bracketing of income tax is only one aspect of the whole thing. It gets a lot of attention but once you take into account taxes on everything else, which also includes the most basic groceries for some reason, the non-wealthy end up getting taxed more proportionally to their income.

That is the policy around taxation for everything. The “middle class” always froths with rage everytime the budget is announced over this. Ever since GST has been introduced it has gotten worse as well, with more of the taxes going to the central government. The economic policies here are pretty preposterous.

Sorry but no. I have never had this issue.

Can’t say that what you are looking for is common. This is the first time I’ve heard this requirement bring described.

Librejs started a long while back. I’m no js historian but I reckon things have changed a ton in jsland since then. My guess is that there assumption is that since JavaScript files are just scripts, they contain the source code and therefore all it checks for is is the license.

I don’t know at which point things like obfuscation through minification and systems like webpack came along. I’m only theorising but I feel librejs has not been able to keep up with the times.

“This is very bad!” scream analysts from ING, a real estate research institute and Goldman Sachs.

In late July, China’s top decision-making body, the Politburo, reiterated the country’s commitment to supporting the completion of unfinished projects and turning unsold apartments into affordable housing.

I take your point. I am not against this project existing and it could turn out positive even. But as I said it doesn’t have the potential to hinder Chrome’s monopoly.

My point is that no one talks about using regulations to curb Google’s browser monopoly ever. Even the anti-trust suit against them was related to their search offering. This relates to how Mozilla is beholden to Google for funding, and other players in the game being big corporations themselves.

politicians won’t do anything

Politicians can be made to do stuff. It is not always easy or even possible but activism sometimes works. Either way it is more likely to work than a toy browser for a niche segment of nerds becoming a viable alternative.

Alright then when the stars align perfectly and this pie in the sky becomes a reality maybe we can seriously consider regulating Google.
