Does that mean that we'll be seeing KDE powering Mercedes Benz's car infotainment system? Is this happening already?

Eastern Europe did get a lot of class mobility in the last 20-30 years though, this may be the case for the west.

The US's formula for growth is incredibly politically unstable though. The rich getting richer (aka trickle down economics) is all fun and games until you have blood on the streets which is already happening in the US. The EU formula (

Disclaimer: I live in Berlin currently but I've never been a techno person. From what I hear from people who are, the clubs have become basically tourist traps that are unaffordable to locals and some have even been priced out of their

This isn't about rising costs though, this is about the labels and shareholders being greedy and wanting an even bigger piece of the cake that is already massive. Meanwhile artists are getting paid next to nothing and now even workers

Something that isn't mentioned in the article is the rise of movements like antiwork. People aren't super into collaboration now because they feel robbed of their wages by their employers, being laid off when they unionize or when

Can someone ELI5 why advanced speaker DSP is a huge thing? I read the linked document and couldn't really figure out why this is important and why it differs from what we already have in Linux systems.
