> Data caps may help lessen congestion on their cell towers
Data caps make congestion worse, because you are more likely to restrict where you use data and people are predictable. You'll no longer use bits everywhere because you care less, you'll use it where everyone else does.
A guy decided that after getting all his patches rejected because they cause tests to fail, doesn't compile, etc. that the problem is everyone else and decided to fork XOrg.
He then announced that the problem wasn't his code that didn't compile but DEI so based the entire forking around being a political conservative.
Everything I've seen written by him shows him to be insufferable, thats where the negative attention comes from.
There are a lot of distros that have xlibre packages for something that ostensibly doesn't compile.
I wouldn't trust the reason given by the people who have said that they're trying to kill Xorg for why they're rejecting patches from someone trying to improve Xorg

No one says xlibre doesn't compile, but good attempt at a distraction.
Have you considered invading a country as an alternative way to distract from terrible views?

Wow here it shows who's politically motivated and like it or not Xlibre probably felt the same way. Some people cannot sleep or chill if it is not theirs world view.
This appears to only work for songs, this action does not work for podcasts or playlists. Wow! What bad engineering culture, likely only caring about what's in the ticket and not the feature overall. I guess this is what happens to a product after spending a decade only hiring people who can do leetcode.
I mean Spotify sucks but Electron is a desktop framework, not what their iPhone app is built with, and you can queue by swiping right on their official app.
Wow, this only works for songs (and it's left) but not podcast episodes (my main use case). I had no idea you could do this! If I have to blame someone, I blame snapchat for making "unknown UX controls as something for users to discover" as the main pusher of the UI trend.
Rather than sending me marketing materials, I wish companies would send power users tips/tricks. Would definitely read those emails.
The power of a tablet is far more than is required for an infotainment system. Make a standard, like we used to have for radios and regulate everything to expose all the controls via a standard connection. Standard parts for replacing and sizes for fitting.
The only way we can have nice things is by regulating. I don't want proprietary tyres either.
In my opinion (not OP), a serious country would look at it's basic national security risks, and work to minimise them.
I'm not talking terrorism, far more basic than that.
Food, Energy, Transport Communications, Manufacturing.
Are you either able to be the provider of any of these if it really came down to it, or are you dependent on a single outside source?
Most countries will be unable to fulfill all of these, but they can mitigate by not being dependent on a single source, maybe working together in a union.
Russia has been an unreliable partner for energy for decades (if ever?), yet the UK yoked itself with them relying on their gas for energy instead of diversifying. We are doing it now but it has been far too late to mitigate the damage.
That's not really true. The UK has run an open economy for almost 200 years and has long had one of the most diverse sets of trading arrangements of any country in the world.
For domestic energy, it has never relied on Russia. Natural gas supplies are a roughly equal mix of domestic production, Norwegian pipeline imports, and LNG imports (primarily from the USA, but with no restriction on switching to other providers if needed). Yes, there was a spike in global LNG prices due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine but that was driven by other countries seeking to replace Russian imports.
The same goes for the other areas you mentioned - food, transport, communications, and manufacturing. All have vast diversity of supply, with robust supply chains. None of them are remotely close to being dependent on a single external source.
Clearly that’s not good enough. We’re still not out of the last cost of living crisis and we’re going into the next one. We should be more self-reliant. Diversity doesn’t work in such an interconnected global economy.
At least from observations in my country, our publicly funded media news is right wing, but get called out by right wingers as not being right wing enough and (falsely claimed to be centrist/left wing because they mention a right wing politician being a pervert).
After enough complaints they manage to move the overton window and the news is slightly more right wing. Repeat.
