Having just sat through a week of committee meetings where all the parties knew a tender was going to fail, yet we all continued with the meeting like everything wasn't already decided.. humans are a silly species.

I don't think there are any sustainable fully open source software out there that are used for consumers besides the ones that reach a critical mass of support. And even then as a software gets more complex the more there are sacrifices to the FOSS model. You should read the boad discuss forum for TDF/Libreoffice. Collabora is trying to nerf the free version of TDF and the board reps are in this toxic battle with Collabora board reps. Eventually FOSS software needs a stable revenue stream besides donations.

15 years ago I thought the Germans were the smartest people in the world because they understood the importance of investing in public services and had a central european style of capitalism that focused on fundamentals over financialization. since then they've slowly been adopting more neoliberal policies and making really stupid foreign policy decisions. I've lost a lot of respect for them as a world leader.

Interesting fact, it costs tens of thousands of dollars to get a permit to own a car in Singapore.

Is your first language English? I can help explain but need to know if you didn't understand because of a language barrier or you read it too quickly.

I got radicalized by Slashdot. But I don't regret it.

Fair I don't have enough context.
