Of course, other companies like Apple, Synology, etc., wrote their own SMB server implementation after ditching Samba. And other projects often have lists of features that have to be disabled to keep the license GPLv2.
I'm kind of OK with that. When corporations get too involved with Open Source projects, it tends to cause problems.

What pisses me off is that if the press actually talked about the recession we are in, and it is a recession if you take out the ridiculous amounts of money spent on AI slop we are in a deep recession
What do you mean? You mean you don't believe Intuit's press release saying the layoffs are about AI? HR never lies, I don't want to hear anything different.

There was a moment where the press coverage seemed to shift with COVID that made me think "No, this is real".
For me it was when China locked down Wuhan, a city of 12 million people.

That's too much. The management class doesn't really understand math, they don't understand statistics, they don't understand technology. They are just bullies hoping to make money somehow. They are like Trump, but not as mouthy.
The people actually building the AI are mostly just trying to build the best thing they can, or alternately, just do their job and get paid. There's no grand scheme, but if given the chance to make a billion dollars, a lot of them will take it, nevermind if it ruins the economy.

if you're not willing to look at facts, then you can't understand the situation.

Don't make things up. Pay attention to facts, even if the facts are uncomfortable.

iranian regime is stronger than it ever was, and now has huge popular support
Where did you get this? There is no free speech in Iran, there is no public polling, you have no idea.
Again, it's extremely hard to take you seriously when you keep making things up.

It's really hard to take you seriously if you try to claim that the IRGC is not killing its own people. It's a well verified fact.

With the current generation of AI, reading/listening just makes me feel stupider. The prose is not quite tight, and it makes my brain go to sleep. The fact that I'm never sure what I'm listening to is true or not doesn't help.
I could see this being useful as a bit of a replacement for white noise, but even for that, there are so many good podcasts around that I will never run out.

Trump is not diplomatic, that's for sure. But somehow
a bunch of countries are sending ships to the straights of Hormuz. I don't know how he got them to do that.
It seems like they must be planning something, but it's not clear what. Maybe a landing operation to seize the land around the Hormuz strait region of Iran, or maybe just naval escorts for tankers. If shipping through the straits restarts, then Iran will have lost most of its negotiating power.
If it were me, I would not want to restart military operations until there were better anti-drone defenses set up. But idk, Trump is also not good at planning, maybe he'll try to go ahead with it anyway.

This is the guy to track. This is how to deal with underground facilities. If you do have to enter tunnels, they can be entered with drones leading the way. No need to be surprised around the corner. The important tunnels are large enough to drive a semi through, they aren't tight.
