70% cherry picking here. Uzbekistan is the way it is because of its remoteness and lack of exploitable natural resources not because of some state level benevolence. Look at what the Soviets did to Kazakhstan (RIP Aral Sea)…no matter how you spin it there is a huge chasm between the ideals of the USSR and the way its leaders exercised their power and authority.

A name is just a simple reference to a system composed of interrelated and essential OS components: Kernel, windowing system, networking tools, virtual memory, user interfaces, the list goes on…
Yes GNU is an essential suite of tools but so is X (or Wayland) and many other unnamed yet critical subsystems.
Now GPL licensing on the other hand, THAT is a foundational precept to FOSS that deserves sole credit back to a single project.
Oh yes that's much needed, thank you.
Who in FOSS hurt you?
Not sure whether this would meet you or anyone competent’s criteria for “good”, but here is mine:
- Syncthing my Calibre Library folder on my primary PC
- Mobius Sync to my iPhone
- Load books (saved in main folder by author name sortable by date modified) or news (they’re saved in “calibre” folder by publication name) to iOS Books app or PDF in native Files app
That way I load whatever I am currently reading.
Oh yeah, and Kovid posts a tracker for most used news sources so you can see what works and what other people are enjoying. https://calibre-ebook.com/dynamic/recipe-usage
Just wanted to follow-up on my comment. I was thinking about it today, and I believe ProPublica or some professional journalist or grad school student should engage in a project to study the underlying factors that drive poor VA outcomes. I'm sure it's been done, but it would be nice to see some more research.
I would be willing to bet there are significant correlation in terms of VA system health outcomes and a range of socioeconomic variables (demographics, voting patterns, etc.).
My hypothesis is that, just like most government outcomes, the most conservative areas also treat veterans the worst and disapprove a shockingly high percentage of disability claims. Having this information in the public domain might influence reforms at the worst-offending VA / VBA systems.
Also, if you like to view by covers, here is what it looks like in Cover Grid Layout!
I’m sorry to hear that. I think so many problems stem from the vast differences in quality of care between VA / VBA systems. If you get lucky, it seems amazing. If you are in a bad system, it’s a bureaucratic nightmare.
Voluntary bachelorhood is bliss. More money, more time, more travel. No looming decades of childcare bills, healthcare bills, or the relatively high probability of maintenance payments til death.
