Not-a-kernel-dev here. Is my understanding correct, that this is a GCC port that can target eBPF? If so, is there any particular purpose in that, beyond making eBPF an easier place for people to write userspace software that would otherwi

That sounds pretty level-headed to me. Acknowledging one's own fallibility/being humble in the face of one's own ignorance is broadly helpful. It seems it only becomes a problem when you start deeply distrusting yourself; you

What about guaranteed software freedom for the server via the AGPL (or any similar license that exists)? Granted, that would cover the actual server-side components and not the actual protocol itself. Depending on how the Oracle V. Google c

Possibly. While I'm definitely sympathetic to the idea that social science (at least as it's actually practiced) is relatively soft, I don't know how we'd go about discounting it all. Seems to me like we'd be throwi

The source you linked is a per-year breakdown for Germany only. Especially considering that it's a well-developed country that isn't a large commercial producer, I'd be very surprised if those results can be extrapolated on

I'm too tired to really comment on this now, but this makes me think of a Signal blog post by Moxie[0] about the decision to disallow federation/third party Signal clients. Whether or not you ultimately agree or disagree with him

I think that the lack of capital investment you're describing can be thought of as a particular instance of the economy of scale (at least, broadly construed): larger and/or conglomerated companies, prima facie, have to depend les
