Skype was a steaming pile for sure, but it had the ability to search for and message a distribution group and get an answer from whomever was available and I could pin it for future use. Now I have to know every name in a group and message them individually until I find someone to help or start a meeting to get everyone at once. It may just be how our Teams instance is configured, but I miss that feature. And who decided there should be a limit on how many people I can pin in Teams?

Still way behind for KDE though. I'm running Sid on my gaming machine and hoping they update some time soon. I have KDE Neon on my laptop and it works great, but with an Ubuntu base it's still trying to shove Snap down my throat.

The US is, as a matter of fact, and never has been, a democracy. It has always been a representative republic. Direct democracy as your comment envisions it is very difficult to implement and results in mob rule. If this is something you strongly believe should be stopped, get in touch with your federal senator and congressional representative to make your views known. Call, email, write paper letters, and encourage others to do the same. Make it clear that they won't be reelected if they allow this to continue. We don't have lobbying money, but it's hard to keep taking bribes if they no longer have a position with which to provide a return on that investment.

Legal issues aside, are there any publicly available forks of the repo?

I feel like in this case it's more like everyone gets sold i9 hardware, but can choose to pay the i3 price for it with locked out features, then decide later to pay the subscription to unlock the i7 or i9 performance. It has advantages for the manufacturer in that there are fewer options to account for at build time and additional revenue later on. I still think it's a terrible model that should be summarily rejected by customers, but I see why they are trying it.

They chose to comply with the request and become one of the browsers Putin can control. Not sure how Mozilla gets credit for anything good here.

So like most Authoritarians then? They're all for it until their side isn't in charge anymore.

The problem is that it's not shoved in the router, that's why you have to agree to send them your data. Those features run on someone else's computer instead of in the router itself.
