Believing in something and believing something exists or is a certain state are two very different things.

You can believe that this despotic duopoly exists in such a way that there are only two outcomes, without believing such a system will ever function.

You misread, try it again.

I’m sorry, even if you go back to the original Russian empire, no entity or arbitrary collection of entities containing a “Russia” has invaded more countries or killed more civilians than the US.

That’s the plain fact of the matter. Invading more than 70 countries does that.

Russia bad, the US is and will always be worse.

Make a larger screen. Large format displays these days are just grids of square led panels that are individually addressable, do that but with the small screens to make a normal monitor sized large format display.

Or a cube. Cubes are always good.

Yes, if enough principaled contributors leave, it’ll no longer make sense for companies to pay for people to contribute.

China is divesting as quickly as possible from the US as they’ve overtaken the use in GDP

Electoralism is a joke in oligarchies, yes.

Nearly every single corporation with an online presence uses free software from the foss community.

Heard about what the US did in Afghanistan? US soldiers raped a LOT of children before and after murdering their entire families.

The US broke from the UK due to the UK over taxing the extremely wealthy in the US to make up the deficit from their war with the French.

Oh that’s cute, you think the legislatures and judicial branches will allow mass adoption.

If states can override ballot measures regarding legal cannabis, and they have repeatedly, they can override this. Neither side of the duopoly has any interest in losing power.

So nk makes a defensive move to prevent invasion and sk responds by firing artillery near them to discourage invasion???

I think NK finally broke SKs propaganda machine by being overtly defensive as they have always been.

You said to not vote third party, so you can’t vote for rcv.

The US sanctions anyone that isn’t under their complete control, it’s not a serious country.

And I’m truly sorry you’re too much of a brainwashed nationalist to understand why free software shouldn’t be affected by petty politics.

You never have looked at that and never will.

It’s better in the long term, free software and the political philosophy behind it is entirely incompatible with American political ideology or geopolitics generally. If everyone can contribute, everyone can benefit. When you start limiting this by arbitrary nonsensical reasoning due to legal obligations you only have because the founder of the foundation has a boner for an idealized America that never existed… Shit gets worse. From this many developers are going to permanently leave Linux development and a few may get petty enough to change their license to prevent use in Linux.

Nope, a decent amount are Chinese. Or European. American companies of course do fund foss so they don’t have to develop much themselves, but it’s certainly not most.

Nope, it’s not.

Excluding developers because of arbitrary sections issued by the most war mongering country in at least the last 10,000 years is not non-controversial, as it turns out.

Either the death of the Linux Foundation or the exclusion of the Linux foundation from kernel development for at least a few versions. In any case Linus likely used the last of his goodwill in proving he’s more American than any other descriptor.
