It is funny that they have nothing to say about npm and cargo (and go's online repository)

> How many democracies left by now?

0


> The NATO was never an ideological partnership.

ROTFL.


Apple, just like Microsoft, were known for they great UI 25 years ago. Today, this is no longer the case.

> Trump Halted an Agent Orange Cleanup; Hundreds of Thousands at Risk of Poisoning

and then:

> Diplomats in Vietnam warned Washington that halting USAID’s efforts to clean up the massive deposit of postwar pesticides would be a catastrophe for public health and relations with a key strategic partner in Asia.

They call it journalism. BTW, are there any pictures of American USAID employees cleaning Agent Orange ? I'm asking because, AFAIK, USAID was the 5th column of the American empire responsible with propaganda and regime changes (and taking into acount some recent events, they don't seem to be affected by cuts).


> I'm shocked that not one single article I've found mentioned this incredibly obvious fact.

The search engines are crap. There was a story some years ago where Amazon employees from an Eastern European country were actually listening to your Alexa and sent the relevant commands back to the device.


> In most democracies there are rules about being fair in terms of issuing permits and a court system where you can sue if they aren't fair in issuing permits.

But this does not guarantee that you will get a permit.


> That is kind of the central idea of democracy.

What you are describing here, are the requirements. The implementation, is usually, much, much different.


> Apple has revealed a Passwords app vulnerability that lasted for months

And what is the news here ? Apple fixes vulnerabilities only after they are discovered by others.


> Essentially, young people want change, old people want stability

Old people have learned that change always means worse. Corruption is so big that it isn't really matter who is in power, the system functions as intended. (All over the world)


Not necessarily worse IMO but that it's a painful process for mediocre improvements.
