I seek more FLOSS/FOSS stuff where I can

Oh yes, the open source enthusiast that does fuck all but seek out the most competitive softwares for free and adds nothing but constant moaning and complaining.

You’re doing open-source a great service.

Check if you have resistfingerprinting config turned on in about:config. It being on picks the light color scheme by default. Mull has this privacy feature on by default and while the extension detects there is a dark color scheme, the config forces light (bright) color scheme.

Be the change you want to see. Make some games worth playing and release it as a FOSS and prove it can be a commercial success as well. See how it goes.

Asking people to release their work for free while providing very little incentives other than your own benefit aren’t going to convince people who need to put food on the table NOW, without relying on miniscule probability of popularity or success after pouring years of your time.

When most of the source of innovation in your country is brain-drain from other countries, but then those countries start fostering their own economy, so smart people want to stay.

Downvoting it isn’t going to make it go away.

Didn’t you know if someone doesn’t find anything new in their niche kink fetish content anymore, then “Reddit is dying”? Same with niche forums with about 100 users. No more posts?

REDDIT IS DYING

Developers also need to make money to live and survive. Why do you think you’re entitled to all of their work for free? If it’s such an inconvenience, you should try your hand at coding an alternative and giving all of it for free. We’re waiting.

This can’t be stressed enough.

Your personal preferences are not the problem of the FOSS community. If it’s a problem for you, fork it and do as you please.

Why do you think they picked the guy as the CEO?

You have no idea how much information and tech-of-the-times were stolen from the rest of the world by the west to make you feel it’s unique to China. But oh so propaganda made you believe, west made all the progress on its own.

Go read some history books or whatever. You do you.

It’s downloading an app off of an app store and turning it on. Stop trying to force your narrow perspective onto everyone else.

People who are subject to censorship, in time find a workaround. Downloading a VPN app with a big green button to turn it on is not rocket science.

There are probably lots of VPN companies targetting “tiktok” as a keyword to advertise and increase their user base. So they come up first on appstores and search results.

Now, go ahead and call people searching google is not average tiktok user.

But where that data goes after you turn the VPN on, is a different topic on its own. Maybe China itself is running a whole lot of VPN networks from shell companies.

China’s use of opensource isn’t exactly in the spirit of open-source though, is it?

As an example, most companies in China don’t even release the linux kernel source code after they modify it, as they are required by GPL.

So they’re building mega-corps on the back of opensource, just like the western counterparts. That’s capitalism 101.

“I paid for my internet connection, so everything I find on it should be free and come with support and modifications I request.”

Any other source that’s not biased?

How is it missleading,when it doesnt claim they are latest gen chips? It’s still a chip no matter how you spin it.

Their announcement motto was “we’ll merge every single PR”.

That’s how we got xz backdoor. Don’t go around exaggeratingly claiming everything you don’t like is dictatorial

If it was the other way around, it would be on the news/talk shows for about a week about how it’s an attack on USA.

Google values its $1.2 billion contract with the genocidal Israeli government and military more than its own workers

umm, of course? Google is evil, when it comes to making money. They’re an US company after all and US is no stranger to killing innocents for profit.

The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.

Who?

A missile or a shipping delivery.

Wait to find out.…

Techcrunch is mostly a PR release website. I wouldn’t trust a thing about new companies and products that’s featured on there.
