And Ukraine would not have been invaded had they agreed to Russia's demands, you fucking bastard.
Some of us do - but our voices will be silenced by the powerful and mighty. As an Indian, my government is already being bullied for our stance.

Using GNU/Linux. Rejecting most tech even if it is “inconvenient” for me. Use cash only except when absolutely required. Use of torrents.
He foresaw way back in the 80-90s that corporations are going to put software on their dishwasher anyway irrespective of what people want. If his idealistic goals were to be realized by now, at least they would have full control over it.

Ever since a bigoted scoundrel had to resign as CEO of Mozilla by trying to deny humans theirs rights, HN always has a generally negative view of Firefox. Just notice the outrage on the paltry 2 million salary of their CEO, while the same people will come to defend multi milion dollar salaries of white male CEOs who are far far worse than Mitchell Baker.

So? A criminal country with the worst instances of human rights violations and violation of international law all across the world illegally detains the CFO of a company because of their country; and you expect that her country is not going to take action on that?
