So I think good luck for foss movement. Hopefully, forking that project won't be illegal because otherwise foss will die

But where do you have information that it was russian state? There are many state actors capable of doing this. Just saying

Actually I'm interested how it looks legally ( it somebody cares about it at all ). Whether the Russian contributors could ask to revert their changes as they most likely never signed the contract to transfer their code copyrights. For sure it will have a big impact on foss because if you have at least one American and Russian contributors, you may get in the biggest shitshow. Additionally if I was considering now to become a contributors, I'd be wondering if it's worthy at all to work for free and then to be banned no thanks for whole free work years

They are not exactly bribes. Rather undisclosed preferential consulting jobs or hiring promises. It's quite easy to follow money in bribes. It's somehow so: after they finish politics careers, they get hired as highly paid consultants for their preferential treatment when they were politics

You described equipment for pretty much climber. You don't have shops every corner in the mountains and sleeping overnight happens sometimes due to bad weather. Sub zero temperatures are the norm in the mountains

Lol, good that you pointed it out. The only real way is apparently only self hosting foss

We have still Anna's archive, scihub, libgen and old fashion traditional libraries ( including the national ). National libraries won't disappear in the nearest years, maybe will rotten due to defunding but still they will exist

Nothing interesting for 99% population. Tech blogging is the hardest stuff and most tech youtubers pretty much stopped contributing. What's the point of sharing knowledge if any gamer on twitch has bigger audience than you maybe 200 - 300 live watchers and it's the a good number of viewers for a very well known polish security researcher ( ex Google ). So you know why social media is going shit

Does it fix anything btw? I'm just wondering how it does work after all

[–] endofline 4 points 5 months ago

It's not about on purpose but usually most people don't care about what's not in their interest. Today interests are usually quite shallow what tiktok shows quite well. Libraries do require money for operating. Even internet archive and wikipedia
