Like Kaspersky, parallels is Russian software and on the list of "domestic" software by the Russian government. Parallels has been erasing references to its Russian roots since the hackergate began. Trying to avoid Kaspersky fate and escape sanctions and bans especially when US federal funding is involved? It is not clear who is buying what in this case.

Kind of hard to distance yourself from Russia when Parallels phones servers located in Moscow every time it launches.

    JetBrains is registered as a Czech company but is basically Russian: most of its employees are (were?) russian, and it's two main offices are in Russia.

    He's joking about the fact that JetBrains is based in the Czech Republic.

Looks like Corel’s PE owner Vector Capital doing another tangentially related acquisition (jasc, winzip, intervideo, and Roxio are Corel’s other acquisitions under Vector) to bolster revenues, would be surprised if there was another more nefarious angle https://www.vectorcapital.com/investments/case-study/corel https://www.vectorcapital.com/investments/case-study/corel

On what do you base that assertion? I've never heard anything about that. Their headquarters have been in Washington state for a long time as far as I know.

Please don't use! Also don't use any JetBrains products (including Kotlin). Otherwise Commies will come and hack your brain.

  And never ever play Tetris. Wickedly evil game, it sucks your soul straight into monitor and holds there for hours. Unfortunately C++, on which a lot is written, is also poisoned without hope of cleaning by STL.
