Very wise comment. It's such an western-centric perspective to say "alignment" as if it's an objective and unbiased set of standards, especially in the context of the ongoing wars across the world. I had the same reaction about the shocking naivete and unfounded optimism for the government and corporate entities to self-regulate to slow down this arms race.

Hyper-capitalist AND hyper-authoritarian. As you rightly point out the state has the ultimate power. Looking at the US govt, they've stepped in to coordinate much of the tech industry before, so they'll just do it again for "national security" or whichever hostile scheme is popular with the current administration.

What's your counter evidence?

RT was heavily censored in the USA and is banned in several European countries. Press censorship is pretty much the norm in 'western democracies' similar to everywhere else.

Translation: 'We fired the white men who we were paying more than the others.' Woke capitalism at its finest.

pip-tools is alright but it doesn't support cross-platform (or python version) lockfiles.

poetry is alright but it doesn't support the latest PEP standards, and its slow.

PDM is where it's at; it's fast, has a really responsive maintainer, supports all the latest PEP standards, and has really good cross-platform support.
