Regarding LB[1]: The version of qpdfview I have showed only a poorly compressed first page. I had to resort to evince to view the .pdf. Almost tempted to look into why...
(I mostly use qpdfview for the tabs and the ability to restore my open documents since I frequently reference PDFs for various reasons.)

THINKING ABOUT
FAANG (#Facebook #Amazon #Apple #Netflix #Google) is an outdated paradigm for how we quantify ownership of the internet.
With only a couple companies swapped, it's no longer about internet traffic, or even stock prices. It's about a mass retreat to good ol' fashioned infrastructure monopolies.
The internet has a new MAAMA— #Microsoft Amazon #Alphabet #Meta Apple (I'm sorry for the acronym) and they're here to claim cloud computing for the next quarter century.

I'm not saying Corbet is saying that. It's just that these articles crop up relatively often, and yet... It seems precarity in open source is an essential feature of how it is currently being organized.
