Living in a Islamo-Fascist semi dictatorship where deep-package-inspection is considered totally usual, I wonder why third World countries weren't included in such offers.

When they say fluid performance they talk about 68030 Macs with Classic MacOS with tiny memory.

Someone with good English and Wikipedia/Wikiquote skills should put that rule in a right place since it stood the test of time.

Perhaps formal article? Godwin 's law is there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

How many of such ugly hacks are running in Windows GDI without people noticing them.

As a foreigner with English as a second (bad) language, I understood the story perfectly.

Just like in Japan nobody understood my Australian friend but my English.

There should be an official torrent of VLC just like GIMP, Libreoffice etc. I prefer torrents since they are faster, reliable and also opportunity to show finger to governments/companies having such ideas. VLC would easily have 20-30K seeders.

It is also re-inventing the wheel. GNU has a great/usable product offering and they sure have same sense of freedom as Jimmy Wales.

There is kinda popular Mastodon https://mastodon.social/about

Of course, even when you invade another country and the entire planet boycotts you, you still try to keep up with Facebook&Instagram. I mean that is what Russians do. Installing VPN/Tor etc. Heard the penguins rejecting cheaper fish?

Every dissident in the World especially Turkish and other Mid Easterners dodged a bullet. This guy has a very interesting taste in friends. Especially ones with huge lithium reserves.

I watch my open source, non gigantic corp backed software under Windows switching from Qt 5 to Qt 6 one by one with their limited manpower. Yes besides being completely free&opensource software working great under Linux/Wayland, they do run fine under Windows too.

What if remaining developers say "this is it, enough is enough" when GTK5 ships as another absurdly backwards incompatible manner? I am just a user of digikam/qbittorrent/VLC etc. and I am sure they see it better than me.

I actually like some Gnome ideas and I keep seeing they are being implemented in another operating systems. I like their clean code but man the developers are annoying.

When willl GIMP implement GTK5? Firefox? Can we blame them?

We have to use Telegram in another country because Russians won't use anything else.

Even being invaded by Russia don't stop .UA and even their president from using it. If we buy Dubai story by owner, why are Russians using it?
They will keep on using it even with ads.

I believe it is work of Krita team themselves to generate income for the project.

They happily got their 30% cut from stolen intellectual property until today. This happens since Windows 8. Not just that, non technical people got robbed too.

There is nothing stopping you from buying support services from Ubuntu or their partners. I believe a lot of professionals and institutions do that already. Or donate $50 to VLC if you like.

If you visit dissident websites/ do dissident things on the Web, use Tor. Trust me, you may remember this comment in prison or hospital bed if you do otherwise. It is a bit slow but totally bearable with news sites/twitter etc.

Speaking of Twitter, Russia or Ukraine doesn't have a lot of Lithium right?
