August 6th 1945: a small forgotten shrine in Hiroshima gets obliterated by the nuclear blast of Little Boy. This was one of the seven shrines holding the fabrics of spacetime together. Slowly spacetime starts to unravel, in the beginning nothing seems unusual but slowly the timeline becomes more and more unlikely. Can our hero stop the unraveling in time?

Imagine we made 13 sextillion of those transistors... That's more than there are grains of sand on earth

Of course, why would they not?

At the cost of voter anonymity, which shows exactly what is wrong with voting by mail. It's impossible to prevent fraud while preserving anonymity. Not silly billy at all.

They prevented fraud at the cost of voter anonymity, this is exactly what is wrong with voting by mail. You cannot protect both.

Why go through all the hoops if they are instead just could refuse patches? Open source doesn't mean open to contributions, look at SQLite for example.

If they had the idea to release this open source they would have said so in clear words by now. They didn't so I don't have much hope, unless maybe if they get enough negative publicity to change their mind.

Why does VC need to ruin everything...

How is it fake news? They are moving functionality into a proprietary SDK and have a whole framework ready to get around the GPL.

Stable bindings doesn't mean open source, so I don't see how that tells you it's still on the table

It doesn't make sense for an internal library for an open source application, it that case it's not open source.

To be fair? Nowhere are they even suggesting they would release the SDK as FOSS, but they do say their password manager is open source. It seems like they just want a FOSS shell so they can claim it's open source for but keep their business logic closed source.

It says the build error is a bug, not the inclusion of proprietary code.
