I think the most likely culprits would be the publishers who have been going after them, or the intelligence firms which are annoyed with archive showing up in their surveillance graphs and being one of the most accessible forms of news media piracy. I don’t feel like I have the full picture.

You should go do stand up at the Republican National Convention, they love jingoism and Western tech supremacy. I guess you’ve got to live your life after being heckled now.

And yet you can’t summon even the slightest opposition to the take, only whine about how you don’t think it should exist.

Again if you made it past my first reply without realizing I was referring to the meaning of the joke, you didn’t comprehend what I was saying.

This is getting pathetic in a very different way since you have four times now asked me to laugh at your joke instead of pointing out why you made it.

See, you can’t refute anything I’m saying. It’s pure jingoism all the way down. Everyone you disagree with is a foreign enemy and a robot.

Are you just going to keep repeating this like my first reply wasn’t based on acknowledging the meaning of the joke? Are you stupid?

“Waaaah this website has opinions I don’t like”

You can’t contradict anything I am saying.

It’s ‘nonexistent’, and if you think that software development is fundamentally out of reach for financial reasons you have no idea how either their finances or open source development operates. Besides, shouldn’t you be talking about how they will need to rely on the Perfidious Chinese? No you just can’t even imagine poorer countries having hardware or developers.

You really show your inferiority complex by relying on jingoism, not just nationally, but to the point of trying to turn ActivityPub homeservers into an upvote gang turf war. Just discuss what is happening and try not to get too worked up over taking in explanations.

If you’ve ignored how many industries the US has fallen out of competition with internationally, then I could see being surprised by this. Semiconductors are a lot more challenging than software R&D and both China and Russia have rapidly overtaken the US market for low end chips, they will now own the market for chips for appliances and military hardware until the US system stops being a financial racket (not soon LOL). India has no problem getting into packaging and testing of chips and software development, they haven’t scratched the surface of nuclear or semiconductors like China and Russia. You just don’t pay much attention.

We discussed that “expectation” already, and how hopes of diplomacy with Ukraine evaporated officially with Boris Johnson’s visit. Of course, behind the scenes it was already hopeless since 2014. They just took time to prepare for sanctions.

Rather than discussing the prospect of the development of Linux as a public utility by a diverse array of nations and groups, you show up to cheerlead for western tech monopolies and the intellectual apparatus. You jeer. You hoot. You’ve got your burger in hand.
