Yup. You can’t effectively fight an enemy by his rules. Instead of writing new browsers - and getting them easily broken by Google again - we need to focus on stuff like providing an open YouTube mirror, or helping users jam AdSense with f

With BSD, anyone can take the code and build a derivative product, under whatever business model, open source or not. GPL, on the other hand, can make it possible for a corp to buy the project and effectively prevent further development, li

Looking how Russia still can’t make their own drones and needs to buy them from China and Iran - nah. They lost most of the potential inherited from USSR. As for TLA - what’s wrong with asking questions? Especially when they might also pr
