After the axing there was an effort to salvage the last open source versions, and build something from there: http://openxtalk.org/

I don't disagree, but in Spain similar stuff happened with Valencia's floods. The common denominator is the far right.

I went to look it up and just learned that they will be scrapping that next April.

What 500K "buys" you is residency. You will have to go through the normal citizenship application process after that if you want it.

For the sake of clarity: not a government program but initiatives by certain local goverments.

I don't really have "a point" with my comment, it's just random thoughts.

More random thoughts: before all that the queer symbol was the pink triangle (yeah, it was quite gay-centered) or the letter lambda. The rainbow flag has its pros, as it's more inclusive, but I guess its success is due to the business adoption, as it started to appear massively on the shops doors. I was (and am) torn between interpreting it as "you are safe here" (not long before we have been routinely avoiding any person with a shaved head for fear of our lifes) or as "we want your money". I guess it really wasn't that black or white.

I still don't have a point. Apple's dick move has somehow given me a bit of a flashback.

I remember when the businesses started to discover/coin "DINK" and Macintosh advertised its colourful iMac G3 in all the (respectable, of course) gay magazines that proliferated back then. Only a few lunatics opposed the pink dollar/euro/yourcurrencyhere.

Looks like we stopped being profitable.

Or that the potential profit of catering to the homophobes seems bigger.

Anyway, it was nice having the businesses giving back some "visibility" and "normalisation", but you don't let the capital be the sole guarantor of Human Rights.

It got the grikoi right.

Are they the same in every country?

According to the Wikipedia he withdrew money from private individuals' credit cards.

Fun fact: Catalan should be both colours for pistatxo and festuc.
