Literally no. They are planning all of this, they are simply still in the ‘grow’ phase.

Wow, look! A new place that controls critical flow of information, managed by for profit venture capital! How Wholesome😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

haha. I hope they will. I hope that this “inspires” companies to produce more locally again. Pretty please?

I used it as my main DE a few years ago, its great! Really cool UI, completely different to all other DE’s but it makes sense, and it has some cool stylings like for example virtual desktops icons being the actual desktops, just really tiny. The bugs, however, kept piling up, and it (segmentation fault)ed too often, so I had to abandon it. Last I heard, the reason it doesn’t get major dev work anymore is that its really hard to work with.

I wonder what that means for google operating in russia. Since the demanded sum is so large, do they get their assets seized, like for example authorities sacking google phones? Or does this have absolutely no consequences?

for the record, that is $10,779,224,060,605,347,000,000,000,000,000,000 (american) dollars

Tuxkart is really great! One of the really good FOSS games, it has multiplayer and it even supports the wiimote :)

Tor if you dont want your fediverse server + ISP to know who you are on the fediverse. Other than that, fediverse people are not likely to use google trackers, so you should be safe without having to make new accounts constantly. Noscript for all other websites, gets rid of trackers very effectively, but a bit annoying because you have to whitelist the javascript you need.

Theres also zulip, but I havent tried it yet, but its supposedly open source discord, but you have to host the server yourself I think.

Yes, go on, let NVIDIA buy intel. Let them buy AMD too. What could go wrong. I love monopolies! /s

…Recent laws in Japan have criminalized console and game modding, as well as save file editing…

WHAT? why?..what???

Yeah, it definitly tells me something, namely that I should not use the tool.

Why would news publish articles about the code quality of the tool, instead of its functionality?

Now they have negative press about its closed source nature, which is a calculated risk they took, just to open source it soon anyway? I doubt it.

but… you dont have to accept contributions? you can just make it open source and tidy it up at the same time?

then why make it closed source to begin with?

They are not. Your server admin and the admins of the server you send the message to could read the message, because its not encrypted.

Wow, sounds great. Maybe we do get private DMs in the fediverse, finally!
