No, Upstart wasn't a good idea. It died only because of its design and limitations it imposed. While Unity DE still is maintained, though not part of Ubuntu anymore.

OBS definitely works for me on gnome/wayland via pipewire. Both for window and fullscreen recording.

An opensource project can either dissolve their team letting some other unrelated team(s) pick up where they left or start a crowdsourcing campaign to hire good lawyers to defend themselves.

It's still not enough because Signal having your phone isn't acceptable either.

You cannot know this in advance. Nature changes and people adapt for many millennia. And there is nothing magical about our particular millennium. It's basically same logic as with various doomsday predictions. Mind you we still could be offed sooner or later either by our own actions or something beyond our power to influence(such as collision with stellar object/nova/vacuum stability event). But it will be something that we won't see coming in time I'm sure.

No, nothing in nature gonna "break". Because it's not designed nor has particular purpose so it's impossible to meaningfully define this "breaking". Like would you consider something like this to be a break: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ? It's for sure spectacular enough. But were it "fixed" or prevented from happening then now we wouldn't have oxygen to breathe.

WIP code involved in HTTP/3 would likely result in lots of CVEs that affect code that wouldn't be meaningfully used by most setups. So it's perfectly fine to let it cook in a fork for a while. Anyway what's up with people treating forks like dramas? They often turn out for the better, for example look at gcc/egcs. It's merely one of facets of opensource's meritocratic nature.

Wealth is hard to measure though. Generally people say it means value of your stuff in money, but there's nothing more subjective than money. Since prices are subject to agreement very often same thing is sold for very different price than it was originally brought leading to effective creation/destruction of monetary value. So money is very much unlike, say, energy.

Yet somehow not intelligent enough to escape justice.

MAME is a red herring. It's significant technical effort to make an arcade machine with software powered by MAME just to play it in public place while being recorded. Many people were involved in setting up his events, requiring lot of accomplices. All for darn "record" for some old game that doesn't even result in award payout. Most definitely not economically efficient. It's lot easier to assume that the tape was doctored long after the event.

They definitely do maintain the infra. But those costs don't scale linearly with app purchases. Therefore their cut shouldn't scale linearly too.

Sounds like a good plot for a disaster movie.

Yes. I simply don't understand how is this possible. When money are involved there are always multiple ways to check things, and if they expended due effort to double check Horizon's findings then there would be no convictions. And doing double checking is obviously necessary given that an alleged theft is being investigated.

Galaxies without dark matter are so dense that all stars are at above a0.

There's enough evidence to see that gravity follows linear law instead of quadratic below a0. We can't know why. Neither MOND nor dark matter are helpful here on their own because MOND is just empirically found law and dark matter is not falsifiable.
