Are you saying that people living in democratic countries are not responsible for the actions of their elected officials?

I honestly did not expect Starfield to have actual flyable spaceships and vehicles. That was a pleasant surprise, so Bethesda evidently has not stagnated completely. The problem is Starfield has issues with many other game elements (like loading screens, mediocre worldbuilding, etc). Also the fact that it was simply a game in a different genre than previous Bethesda games didn't help. People expected a handcrafted open world a la Fallout 4 but got a kind-of-procedurally generated sandbox.

There is also Ladybird browser that IIRC already has a more complete web standards implementation than Servo despite being a much younger project. Though it's still far from being ready and performance is really bad. But so far it seems that it's going to outpace Servo.

Too bad fractional scaling is still not universally supported. In Firefox it's buggy and disabled by default (and pretty much abandoned), and using default compat mode (when app is rendered at nearest greater integer factor and then downscaled by compositor) has some strange font rendering issues and potentially worse performance (on 4K monitor the resolution Firefox would be rendering itself would be humongous).

Thankfully in my case I can just increase font size and it works much better than with fractional scaling.

This for whatever doesn't work on openSUSE Tumbleweed, last time I checked.

Are they going to ethically source materials and production

Why would they do that?

He will call Putin a "smart guy" and "advise" Ukraine to agree to all Russian demands.

Independent browser engine developers have a say in how web standards evolve. their influence is limited of course, but they use it to keep web open. Google have long been trying to integrate more "advanced" advertisement and data collection technologies directly in web browsers (including imposing it on non-Chromium browser through "open" web standards).

The moment Google has full control of technologies involved they will do everything in their power to make ad blockers technically impossible (or at least extremely complicated and inefficient) and data collection mandatory, integrated directly in Chromium. And they will do so in such a way that most websites will simply not work on Chromium forks with these "features" disabled, so everyone will be forced to comply.

IIRC this extension just doesn't work in Flatpak. You need to use Firefox outside of the sandbox, installed via package manager or official build from Mozilla.

Are you saying that not all bourgeois are the same?

Space exploration has always been at mercy of politicians, especially manned spaceflight. It's only recently we've got a long-term space station used for real research, and it's about to be decommissioned because there is no political clout to be gained from sending humans to low Earth orbit anymore. Unlike planting a flag on Moon or Mars for which politicians are willing to spend trillions (but which has dubious scientific value).

Automatic probes are the only real future for space exploration because they are much cheaper than manned space programs (and thus easier to fund) and you can send them farther.
