I understand what an open-source computer program is. You can have an open-source compiler or interpreter, for example. But what would an open source language be?
The specification of a programming language was always thought to be in the public domain: a kind of fact. So gcc is open-source but the C programming language itself isn't. Nice for MS to release the specification for their language, but they shouldn't attach the moniker "open-source".

The point of this "T2" chip, like Intel's TPM, is that the computer manufacturer wants the computer to distrust its owner on behalf of "content creators". And this has the obvious failure mode: if the system has a layer that is more powerful than the putative owner, then that layer owns the system to the detriment of the owner.
It is very notable that Mozilla is choosing to avoid going for DNS-over-TLS, an approach which is more consistent with the layered approach to networking and security.
The fact that internet users make DNS queries is not secret, and does not need to be hidden among other HTTP traffic. It is the content of the DNS queries that needs protection.
Netflix can unilaterally pull out of Saudi Arabia. But if it wants to do business there it must subject itself to the local government. In an authoritarian kingdom this mean subjective itself to government whim.
Is Netflix really supposed to become the Voice of America, trying to broadcast US notions of freedom and democracy into unwilling places, or is it simply supposed to be in the business of entertaining paying customers to the extent possible in each locality?
Ultimately, this example serves as a reminder of the principle Caveat emptor and that users should validate noncommercial software on their system prior to use on new applications.
In other words, even authors who benefit from freely released source code seem to have unflagging faith in "commercial software". In fact, the only reasons these authors were able to diagonse and fix the bug was that the code was freely available.
Instead, scientists should verify all software that they use, commercial or not.
