Trump has captured half of the US legislature and has a huge group of people who are willing to die for him in battle (and have done so when trying to take over the Capitol, only increasing their fervour).

Of course this is something totalitarians strive for.

That’s why the EU is starting to raise tolls on Chinese PV systems.

how conflicts between ministers and prime ministers from coalitions are resolved?

Usually by ending the coalition (or threatening the move). This leads to expedited elections, which happens a lot in Austria, although usually due to different circumstances like corruption scandals. Alternatively, a different government can be formed, but that is usually very unlikely (though it happened in 2019 when the president appointed a party-neutral interim government that was accepted by the parliament).

The problem Nehammer (the current head of government) is now facing is that regular elections are coming up in September anyways, so it doesn’t really matter whether he quits the coalition. Quitting is actually a bad idea, because then he wouldn’t go into the election as the government party, which can lead to a worse outcome.

She consulted some constitutional experts before doing it.

This will be my first Framework

Depending on how you treat it, it might also be your last. So far, Framework has offered upgrades to their existing customers so they don’t have to buy a completely new notebook to upgrade.

All artists train themselves on others artwork, most probably unpaid.

They are wrong. Theft means depriving someone of having something, and that’s not the case here. It’s more a “they’re taking our jobs” kind of situation.

They have the same rules as all the other democratic countries. The only difference is that they had someone take over the democratic process.

Unlike totalitarian regimes, democracy does not have strong protections against disbanding itself, just look at Hungary, Russia or Turkey. So, in the long run democracy is just a temporary fad that will fade away eventually.

Facts are not under copyright, only creative expression are. So, for example your randomly assigned phone number does not have copyright protection.

Those earbuds are not so great for flight mode.

No, buy from Turkey, which gets Russian oil and rebadges it as Turkish.

There was a passenger airliner that was shot out of the sky by the USSR because the pilots failed at navigating.

Is there anybody left on X except far-right loners and Russian bots?

Its owner is part of the misinformation network.

IIRC the complaint was that he wasn’t harsh enough on his colleagues who said some things that could be interpreted as anti-semitic.

My experience has been that good documentation is mostly something done if somebody gets paid for the work. People working on stuff in their spare time just don’t care enough to document their project.

Game design and gameplay is part of the source. All the balancing etc. to make it a fun experience. Most of the numbers don’t show up in the UI, so they’d either have reverse engineer it or reconstruct it somehow through months of game testing.

Yeah in theory people could buy your GPL/AGPL app from you, but they could also get it legally for free from anybody else who has bought it. Guess which way will dominate.

Depends on your point of view. Legally it definitely is, because the LGPL stipulates that nobody is allowed to attach any restrictions on to the code above the things the LGPL restricts itself. This makes it impossible to combine with the App Store, because that store adds additional restrictions.
