The dynamic was understood, it just wasn't formalized in game theory terms. Alternative voting systems weren't in use though, and probably wouldn't even have been practical without automation.

Possession is irrelevant too. Access to source code has not being restricted, and doing so wouldn't even be realistically possible. The only practical change is that new updates from these developers will not be published by the Linux Foundation, and ongoing integration will not be done by mainline Linux developers.

If Russia wants, they can fork Linux at any time, call it Rusinux, and do whatever they want with it. They could even port future Linux updates back to their kernel. They still have to keep it under the GPL2 license, but only if they want to honor Western copyright laws and treaties.

Typical. You don't even know the difference between a progressive and a tankie.

war in a country you people couldn’t even locate on a map a year ago.

Project much?

It will absolutely true next election. Democrats will keep undermining progressives and running weak and ineffective candidates until the dice fall badly and the fascists win. That's how these cycles always go.

Every election will be more dangerous than the one before until elections stop. The next Trump will be far more capable than the rapist toddler we're dealing with now.

80% Russian campaign and 20% reaction to being lectured constantly by people who will forget that progressive votes are needed to beat Republicans when it comes time to pick a new candidate.

Sure, if words are meaningless.

Democrats like Kamala. She is hardly a departure from the Democratic establishment brand.

Who owns the copyright is irrelevant. Russian developers are still entirely entitled to use and modify the Linux source. The only thing they can't do is submit their changes for inclusion in the main Linux development tree. The only real consequence for them is that their changes might be broken by future kernel updates and they will have to fix it themselves to use newer kernels. That, and they will have to maintain their own distribution system. I've also seen nothing to suggest anyone's code is being removed.

The US didn't invade Ukraine and, obviously, isn't under US or European sanctions. I'm sure that you and I could agree on a great deal when it comes to American foreign policy, it's just not relevant to this situation where Russia is the clear aggressor. (Setting aside the usual "buffer zone" bullshit that every aggressor state uses and Putin already abandoned).

I say we find land for each of them someplace in the US, build infrastructure and housing, evacuate Jerusalem and bulldoze it.

I don't share the same read on that comment, but it appears you are more reasonable than I gave you credit for. Thank you for your door to door work for the cause.

See you then.

Every general election is that way. We've had alternatives.

If Harris loses the fault will be with every Democrat that voted Biden over Sanders in 2020. That was the window we had to transform the Democrats into a party that would absolutely crush the MAGA movement. We missed it and we may not see another in this lifetime.
