Why go through all the hoops if they are instead just could refuse patches? Open source doesn’t mean open to contributions, look at SQLite for example.

If they had the idea to release this open source they would have said so in clear words by now. They didn’t so I don’t have much hope, unless maybe if they get enough negative publicity to change their mind.

Why does VC need to ruin everything…

Stable bindings doesn’t mean open source, so I don’t see how that tells you it’s still on the table

It doesn’t make sense for an internal library for an open source application, it that case it’s not open source.

To be fair? Nowhere are they even suggesting they would release the SDK as FOSS, but they do say their password manager is open source. It seems like they just want a FOSS shell so they can claim it’s open source for but keep their business logic closed source.

It says the build error is a bug, not the inclusion of proprietary code.

Clearly not: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/11611#issuecomment-2424865225

And different opportunities, going MIA on a construction site is suspicious, but during war? Who can tell whether they defected or died?

I personally don’t see/experience any of that either, but ask some “native brown” (adopted/2nd,3th generation fully integrated/…) whether they have the same experience and you’ll likely get a different answer.

There are also women who have XY chromosomes, but they don’t have receptors for testosterone. They can even have very high levels of testosterone but it doesn’t do anything, why wouldn’t they be able to compete as women?

And why would having an uterus and being able to give birth naturally even matter? Are infertile humans not allowed to compete in the Olympics?

From which size is a country too big to operate as a single country? I think cultural identity is much more important than size, and the Chinese government has put a tremendous effort in culturally unifying the land with great success (and great cost; see Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, the relationship with Taiwan, loss of local languages and culture). I don’t see that disappearing anytime soon.

A civil war with a stalemate is of course possible (in fact it’s already the reality), but an USSR style collapse in many different countries is just not something I can see happen.

I’m the first one to hate on the CCP, but people have been saying that China is going to collapse anytime now for 20 years.

The demographics are a real problem, but nothing that will cause an immediate collapse. Housing, youth unemployment and inequality are real imminent issues, but the CCP has survived much worse and I think they will survive this as well.

Economical they have made some good bets, investing in solar and batteries, for that alone we should hope they don’t collapse, it would be a setback of several years or maybe decades.

I believe China will more go the way of Japan, stagnate but not collapse.

LFP is actually a relatively old battery technology, it’s only now that the patent is expired that it’s starting to breakthrough (outside of China, they somehow got a license if I understand it correctly).

How are they planning on sending over any significant manpower and supplies across 2800km?

Rail? They border Russia and there’s a railroad over the border

I’ve never had UHT milk go bad in less than a week. Longest I’ve had it in my fridge and passed the smell and taste check was over a month, but at that point I didn’t trust it anymore.

You guys don’t have UHT milk?

No, the GPLv3 changes nothing in this regard.

Yes someone gave the green light, someone shot at them. Nowhere it’s said those were the same people, nor that the people giving green light knew that the other people were going to shoot.

The most likely thing is that they forgot to inform one group of soldiers, or that they misunderstood, or some other fatal miscommunication. Miscommunication is common in war. Deliberately baiting an ambulance is both extremely evil and stupid.

I see no evidence that they deliberately baited the ambulance? Bad coordination is the most likely explanation.

To be clear, even in that case it’s still a war crime to shoot an ambulance.

If you can’t see pedestrians on the road (on time) you’re either driving too fast, or you’re not paying enough attention, or you’re driving a car that is not suited for roads with pedestrians. That’s totally on the driver.

Leaving that aside, what do you think causes the increase? Dark clothes getting more popular…? I believe it’s the rising popularity of bigger cars with bad visibility (and maybe also the increase of phone usage while driving).

No, reunification isn’t the status quo, that’s ending the status quo.

Xijinping saying mainland China and Taiwan will reunite basically means he wants to invade Taiwan. That is newsworthy.
