I would assume the expectation came about after WW2 where losing meant devastating ramifications for the losing party.
On the other hand in a situation where warfare is considered with less weight and investment feels like it’ll embolden states to return to a state of frequent warfare.

One mechanism that wasn't described in the article and for fairness I know little about when it comes to prehistoric hominids is the role of community splits forcing certain members to go out or die trying to establish hegemony.

It's too bad too. Firefox used to support RSS till recently I believe. I wonder if Pocket had anything to do with it.

If you right click and go to the open with menu and scroll to other, there's a checkbox with the finder window called "Always Open With". This way you don't need to remember which button to hold down.

The bill's text seems to specify "App Stores" to those limited to "users of a computer, a mobile device, or any other general purpose computing
device".
Does anyone if this can possibly apply to video game consoles? A wasteful amount of computing is locked behind these consoles and it would be great to see open access come to these platforms as well. Another concern is whether Android and iOS can get out of this bill by arguing themselves to be similar entertainment devices.

I'm surprised it took this long for Vivaldi Mail to come out. I believe it was teased relatively early on in Vivaldi's life although I don't envy the developers that had to work with IMAP.
I am glad to see that some love given to RSS in a browser since it's been marginalized in all mainstream browsers. It's frustrating to see a refuge of decentralized media consumption be thrown away considering privacy concerns.
I am not the biggest fan of the licensing policy along with the inclusion of a third party translating service but I welcome any competition to the market.

I believe the source is online but not licensed under a free license (Someone is free to correct me on that).

Isn't it disingenuous to say it's stealing? From my perspective, I would be exchanging my data with the services provided and if I have a problem with the level of data collection I can always stop using the service and delete my account. I'm sure there are services today that are useful to me that are not possible without data monetization.

I don't think the Pocket was owned by Mozilla when they announced their integration. Looking it up, it looks like they bought it 2 years after the initial announcement so I can see it being controversial.
