People are slowly realizing that Android only weaponized open source licenses but was always meant to be a captive platform, like people are slowly realizing that VS Code has open source code but is a captive platform.

Open source licences are not enough. They’re regularly weaponized as a tech enthusiast trap.

Let's try something different today.
Reply with your favorite still opened gcc bug report (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/) . I am going to put together a poll next week on which bug report i should fix and that poll will be based on the responses here.
Disclaimer, X86_64 and aarch64 target specific bugs are OK, other backends depending on the bug report might be fine but I will reply to your toot if it will be included in the poll. If I get a lot of responses, I might have a few polls to narrow down which one I implement.

This is for 2 reasons, one to show gcc developers still care about the bug reports (especially with over 18k of them filed) and 2 to give an opportunity to users to see more of the process. Also sometimes I like giving back to the users of gcc.

The Trump regime used misleading footage in videos promoting its immigration agenda, including clips from unrelated operations and mislabeled locations. These videos, widely shared on social media, have been viewed millions of times and have contributed to a distorted public understanding of events.

#Trump and #Republicans join Big Oil’s push to shut down #climate liability efforts

As efforts continue to hold some of the world’s largest fossil fuel corporations liable for destructive and deadly climate impacts, backlash from the politically powerful #oil and #gas industry and its allies in government is on the rise, bolstered by the Trump administration’s allegiance to fossil fuels.

"Since Mr. Kirk’s death, some White House officials have pressed for sweeping federal investigations of liberal groups and donors, and some of the president’s allies outside the administration are convinced that the killing is part of a broader plot, despite a lack of evidence that has been presented to support that. Officials involved in the arrest have said they believe Mr. Robinson acted alone."

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

This is a sign for how fucking atrophied our mental muscles are. How limited our space for thinking about how things should be.

You want to democratize "going to therapy"? Make it "free" as in paid by socialized healthcare. You want to democratize "making art"? Give people money and free time to express themselves.

None of these things are meaningfully addressed through tech. It's always about the political struggle to give people what they need and deserve.
