Are you actually reading all the code before you run it? Are you re-reading it for each update? If not, then what's the point of bragging about having access to the source?
The point of sandboxing is that it's impractical to reliably audit, on a continuous basis, the massive volume of software that the average person runs. It's more economical to apply the least-privileged principle, and only give apps access to the things they need to function.
no thanks

can you elaborate?
When i hear "Rails monolith is a disaster" what it usually boils down to 8 out of 10 times is people putting their business logic inside models or controllers, when really it should live in its own set of classes, usually called services or service objects.

why does it do video? is trying to do media capture like OBS or be a compositor like wayland? if so why bother? those solutions exist already... maybe it should just stick to audio, cuz that part of it feels like feature creep.
i'm sorry but i just can't read this without laughing. what does stallman think gamers are like?
i can only imagine the average teenage gamer trying to get their friends to stop playing virtually every game on the market and instead play some obscure game and trying to teach them how to install gcc and git to get it running
the key is that the data has to be encrypted. currently i think whatsapp uploads your chat history as plaintext. this basically allows the corps. to get your data.
In the cbc article, they say "According to one study cited in the report, up to 70 per cent of Arctic infrastructure could be threatened because of thawing permafrost by 2050. ". This refers to page 17 of the report, which cites this study https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-07557-4
In the abstract, they clearly state "We show that nearly four million people and 70% of current infrastructure in the permafrost domain are in areas with high potential for thaw of near-surface permafrost." While the CBC sub-headline says "70% of infrastructure will be threatened because of thawing permafrost by 2050"
Seems quite misleading. CBC will have people think that 70% of all infrastructure is threatened (subjective interpretation) whereas the study clearly indicates it's 70% of the infrastructure in the permafrost domain, which affects a whopping 4 million people. I'm sure there will be plans to help those affected in time.
I'm not saying it's not a problem, I'm just saying, as usual, the media hypes and sensationalizes it, most likely for some ulterior agenda.
This is exactly the type of fearmongering Science avoids.
