from the article:

There is no forgone revenue when you can not buy the content because of the geo-locking.

The moment a (copyrighted) work gets published it can be copied (in the worst case you could mount a camera in front of the TV screen) and, hence, the only way to make sure that content creators and owners have complete control over how their works are distributed is to impose a surveillance system on the viewers, welcome to 1984.

Also wrong, on one hand the marked can do nothing about over-charge, if exclusive deals are made, on the other hand "piracy" can also work as advertising, for instance Metallica as a band became famous because there fans were copying and distributing there tapes (oh the irony). In that "piracy" indeed may distort the market, but it doesn't hurt the content creators.

I'm free to swing my fist, but only if I don't hit you.

Now, based on this example, please explain again what kind of freedom you are looking for that has no "but only if ..." attached to it.

... when used inconsistently you should add. With perfect use you get (Trussell J, Contraceptive failure in the United States.) way better numbers:

Which means with a proper education you can lower the rate of unwanted pregnancies significantly.

This is what Marx said, but it is just one theory.

But if you use Darktable then you can also output JPEG200, PNG, OpenEXR, TIFF, and a few more file formats when developing your RAW photo.

And about alternatives;

If you would inform yourself a little bit than you would find out that the EU did not so much pay Greece, but the banks who invested in Greece - that is, instead of having to cut their losses for a bad investment these banks and their investors (mostly French and German, btw.) got EU tax money. The scheme sounds familiar, doesn't it?

If things would have been done right, Greece would have defaulted in 2010.

There is even a letter written by Alexis Tsipras from January 2015 to the German people that explains the issue.

This is the open source driver status. Looks pretty good to me. Regarding the new driver, it is part of their mixed open source and closed source strategy: The kernel module is open, AMD provides the closed source user space that that should provide the latest and greatest features, while the community provides user space part as open source that might have to catch up a little performance wise.

I think it's more like Jarod Kintz put it in This Book is Not FOR SALE: “There exists a big circus tent, and the right entrance is named The Republicans, and the left entrance is called The Democrats. People argue over which is the correct path, not realizing everyone inside is a clown.”

Don't forget the witch burning Christians on that list, and all the old religions where human sacrifices were common, or maybe it is all just about "power of authority" like shown e.g. by the Stanford Prison Experiment

That's different from country to country, for instance in Spain, when you don't have a job and are out of the unemployment aid (maximum two years), you are on your own. Last time I read something about this it was stated that in Spain there are around 2 million persons without any kind of official income.

I think it is way to early to write Russia off: Russia is big and has most if not all of the raw materials needed for all the important industries, the ties to China are also becoming stronger, and 20 to 50 years is a very long time.

A low value of a national currency makes imports for this country expensive and exports cheaper for buyers, which means a low valued currency is good for export oriented countries. Russia is an export economy. Considering that Russia mostly exports raw materials, and imports goods like cars, computers etc. such the push from the falling value of the Ruble may actually be good for its industry, because it makes these industries more competitive compared to imported goods (e.g. as imported cars become more expensive cars produced in Russia may become more interesting to Russian buyers).
