Barely, going to be 17°C again this week.

There’s a difference between source available and open source. For example, actually being allowed to distribute modified versions is pretty damn important:

Restrictions

• No Distribution of Modified Versions: You may not distribute modified versions of the software, whether in source or binary form.
• No Forking: You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software.
• Official Distribution: Only the maintainers of the official repository are allowed to distribute the software and its modifications.

And you keep on rehabilitating genocidal maniacs 👍

Notice the weight-bearing words “at first” in your own cited research? Etymology is not a valid argument when the definition of a term drastically changes, in this case becoming much broader. My point is, most “kulaks” deported by Stalin from the Baltics were new landowners with not a lot of land and at most a few paid workers. At least in the case of Latvia, these workers were commonly seasonal labourers from Poland (that came here willingly).

Showing a paragraph with a nasty description does not really prove anything, I could find you endless paragraphs that say nasty things about communists.

Here’s some other research:

Available here, page 126

Do you fathom, how little land 5ha actually is for farming? Especially considering, that even the Western Soviet Union is generally not densely populated.

Some 72% of deportees were women and children under the age of 16.

Ah yes, getting skinned alive so hard by women and children.

During the first five-year plan, Joseph Stalin’s all-out campaign to take land ownership and organisation away from the peasantry meant that, according to historian Robert Conquest, “peasants with a couple of cows or five or six acres [~2 ha] more than their neighbors” were labeled kulaks.

So owning marginally more than your neighbours. Wow, what a horrible crime.

Maybe you should do some reading too.

There were no serfs in the 20th century: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolition_of_serfdom_in_Livonia

And the people considered kulaks by Stalin were often the same peasants, who got pieces of land taken from the actual nobility in the interwar land reform: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvian_Land_Reform_of_1920

Dude, all you needed to be defined a “kulak” was to own your own homestead, they worked on their farms themselves. Serfdom had been over for more than a hundred years at that point.

Ah yes, the suffering of my (great)grandparents is surely imaginary.

Oh that is not just some person, that’s the CTO of "Open"AI when asked, if YT videos were used to train Sora.

The cables can also be an issue though.

Interesting, in the EU it’s been fine.

Revolut

They’re infinitely more likely to indirectly get back to the locals than if they were to go directly to a corporation on the other side of the country.

I get what you’re saying, but the profits going to locals is objectively better for the community than them going to large corporations.

In short, local stores cannot stay afloat anymore when 30% of their customers disappear.

Because half of us host an instance lol

You overestimate most people. “KDE is bad. Admittedly last time I tried it was 15 years ago” is a real quote that I read.
