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

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

yes, i use mostly ff but still i keep chrome. Maybe ill install brave or vivaldii for the chrome engine purpose only

Not bloated because it doesn't have almost any features. No spaces, no threads, joining channels doesn't work, wait until becomes as the predecessors. The performance improvement is negligible in my experience. It does simply depend on thr homeserver performance , not much on matrix version

fast

I noticed performance of matrix depends strongly on the server. Matrix.org is dead slow, I started using tchncs.de and even old ( somehow legacy ) element android is blazing fast

Element I'm not that sure, it's so bloated that I'm surprised it works on mobile phones. Regarding matrix sure

So far, irc, jabber/ xmpp and matrix and plain old email with gpg :-)

I think the only still secure network is i2p. In there you don't have the exit node

The problem of sun radiation can be mitigated by dwelling underground as many early humans did so

Hmm, it's strange grey area. Sometimes piracy is the only way to make the book not disappear. There are niche, low circulation books and magazines which without piracy would disappear and became almost unavailable.

Sometimes the book is no longer in the print because of many reasons:

1. Author changed her / his mind and no longer wishes to publish it, at least in the original edition / version.
2. Copyrights are being taken over and the final copyright owner ceases to republish it even when paid.
3. Copyrights owner doesn't know that his the owner of some books and it leads to the legal limbo.
4. Low circulated books & magazines don't survive until the copyrights expire - owners of the books die and their next heirs believe the books / magazines are just garbage and burn it or throw it away.

Ethics & piracy is pretty strange combination and there is no easy answer for it

The same you could say with "conversative" term meaning. In the original meaning it was "not willing changes" not "far right radical" whatever it means ( right now it's considered to have conservative people in that group by left wing people )

Is there an email thread where c and rust Linux kernel devs actually discuss what's about? Because so far I see some Linux drama and I have no slightest clue what's about
