I think with a lot of stuff like that, most people don’t care. Like I assume it’s the red and white side that you’re talking about but idk, and for sure I never see racists flying either set of colors which is why I think no one cares.
The Confederate flag didn’t fall out of favor primarily due to its meaning in the 1800’s, but moreso due to the contemporary associations.
Tbf, this is just declaration of intent to commit war crimes, not genocide.
So first, even here we see foundation money and big tech, not government.
Facebook, Google, etc mostly love net neutrality, tolerate encryption, anf see utility in anonymous internet access, mostly because these things don’t interfere with their core advertising businesses, and generally have helped them.

This really shouldn’t be news.
I suppose JK Rowling, regardless of her personal politics, made her actual money by writing the world’s most popular children’s book series. Likewise George Lucas I guess is probably a billionaire too. And Taylor Swift.
But these are examples of incredibly lucky creators of novel IPs. There’s always been a handful of these people on the lower end of the upper end of economic power.
According to the article she was swallowed. Not likely to come back from that.
Spread responsibility thinly across as many organizations and departments within those organizations and across as many legal thresholds as you can to minimize blowback when something inevitably has to be held to account.
I would say “even busier” and “over-integrated” rather than “incomprehensible”.
Not to start a fight or anything, but it almost reminds me of emacs, because it’s like someone started with an idea for one kind of program, but they just kept adding and adding and adding to it. But emacs at least is free, flexible, long established, free, and quirky.
In person sure. It’s essential for persuasion. But here let me just enjoy watching assholes get own goals.
Even for those, it won’t, because those people are either:
