No. He needs to be trialed for treason, then jailed when found guilty.

They DRM it all if we let them. We must not. It should going the other way. More open, repairable and upgradable.

The joke is Mac and Linux users, who aren't actually effected, are incapacitated due to being busy gloating on social media.

Meh, always done what I need and I find easy enough.

I've been in rooms for people forced to switch from PS to GIMP for corporate cost cutting. Every time I went to help someone on something else (animation or exporter related), I'd hear "GIMP can't do X" and "GIMP can't do Y". I'd go over and show it could and how. It was never even stuff that hard. Layer stuff often. GIMP gets a lot of hate I just don't think is justified.

IP on crops is a legitimate problem. I didn't see anything about terminator seeds, but honestly wouldn't surprise me. Saving lives can all to be often at odds with making money. Plan probably is to take over the market and then ratchet up the price...

It's something you see endless repeated. When there is no rules, you get the loudest, baddest, pieces of work, rise to the top and then set rules that favour them. Look over the world and history, where law and order has broke down, war/drug lords take over.

I lived in Holland for a bit, my Dutch colleagues told a story of the bus system. Holland tried a honor payment system, trusting people to pay what they needed to for their trip. It failed hard and was replaced with fair collectors my colleagues called "the bus Nazis".

The same thing happens with free speech absolutism. You hit "Paradox of tolerance".

Anarchy just doesn't work. You need rules for everyone to play nice by.

Yes! That's the one!

Giving up liberty doesn't buy you security. You just end up with neither. Putin won't stop with Ukraine.

He'll struggle to make states to buy more expensive energy. If he managed, he'd put the state at a global disadvantage. Even then, he'd have to outlaw solar to stop people installing it at home.

With Nextcloud, when you, install maps, the location logging app, uploads your photos, you can see your life laid out over a time access. It's scary it you normally give all that to say Google or Apple.

I'm sure that is the motivation of some, those involved, but the vast majority of support will be voters who think deterrence works.

The US being unreliable is what will cause a full on EU army. Putin is on the EU's doorstep and former Soviet are in the EU. The EU can't ignore Putin's aggression.
