You mention EEE and forgetting how it works in next paragraph.

• Embrace - facebook joins fediverse, existing users rejoice because now the user base was added with threads users
• Extend - facebook starts adding proprietary features to their product, many users start switching, because if they use threads.net they can have the new features AND still have access to the entire network
• Extinguish - facebook comes to conclusion that there's not many users on fediverse anymore, and being compatible only holds them up, so they disconnect, suddenly it gets very silent on fediverse, some people will jump to threads.net, because their friends are there, others will quit completely eventually making the network even emptier

This exact thing happened with Jabber/XMPP and it was also realization that vast majority of people are not loyal to some ideals and will switch to whatever works for them. Companies absolutely hate to have product they can't fully control.

Exactly, let's not repeat the history.

The so great (at the time) Google that was so friendly to users (at the time), destroyed Jabber/XMPP that way.

That could be it.

Well, everyone else says that Iran was involved. Though politically this helps Russia and China the most and they are also friendly towards that group.

Maybe Comcast, Facebook or Twitter? Do something good for a change.

The crazy thing is that the reason why communism sucks is that (at least currently) it requires totalitarianism to implement it. And that comes with a lot of issues. Communism in theory looks like utopia. Russia no longer is communist, but it absolutely is totalitarian, but according to them that's somehow good.

Also what I noticed is that those tankies on lemmygrad, aren't really pro communism, they are pro totalitarianism.

If his freedom is on the line he would flee. As for properties, he doesn't need to sell them immediately or I don't think he even need to sell them. It's not like he is alone with it.

The Secret Service was caught treading water for him in some crimes.

Yeah, $200,000 is laughable for somebody like him. I feel like appropriate for someone from upper middle class.

And what's crazy, all of that was done AFTER presidency. One has to wonder how many things he got away during.

Goggle standard approach to it, is to integrate it so much with other components that it will be a lot of work to disable it, eventually making it impractical.

The right way would be for those clients to switch to gecko engine.

So basically boiling frog slowly.

LOL, sorry but if it is control over my computer vs youtube going away my reasponse is "bye bye, YouTube, don't let the door hit you on the way out"

Gecko (Firefox engine) already is worked on, why not contribute there instead of losing community? If anything why those browsers use engine that is controlled by a single company?

I think Ryan McBeth on his YT channel said the real reason for it.

The cluster munition aren't that useful for trenches and not useful for offensive when there's even a small dud rate (it's not 40% like with Russian cluster bombs, but 2% adds up if you would fire it many times) and you don't want your own soldiers to be blown up by own munition when they advance.

But, if you take the missile, open it up, you get 88 bombs, that can penetrate 4cm of steel. Strap them to a drone and they can be quite scary. Also since they are fired individually, they don't hit each other when falling down which is the primary reason for duds.
