I think a lot of folks are going out of their way to misunderstand what happened. Yes there are other similar projects and containers. No, none come from a long established COMMUNITY RUN PROJECT. This is something akin to the difference between VirtualBox and OpenBSD’s vmd. Ones a product with a “free” tier, the other is a community project.

Well as they say, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. I recommend arming yourself and carrying a concealed handgun.

We’re already cool with the Chinese using forced child labor to make our tech toys and cheap goods. What’s a little genocide thrown in the mix?

Here in the US it seems practically as bad. And the Internet is just as bad - big tech’s stuffed with DSA activists - Marxists - who create lists of wrongthinkers to share with people like The Atlantic Group and Joan Donovan.

Why is it my job to be “fair” to some giant corporation? This isn’t some person we’re talking about.

The same Bloomberg who sells little information services which people are supposed to rely on as conveying factual information?

It’s useful to me, FireFox’s arbitrary and capricious changes have angered legions of former fans who either now barely tolerate it, or who moved on.

If you look at her Twitter history you can see she’s a big fan of political activism in the workplace, something that more and more companies are treating as both toxic and unprofessional.

Go ahead and browse her Twitter. She’s toxic and rude.

Minidisc was a HUGE commercial flop, with a paltry number of releases. It found utility in some pro audio racks but in no nation did it ever come close to replacing DAT in pro audio applications, or cassette tapes for music copying or distribution.
