I would have thought that the Great Firewall of China would be a more obvious thing to be reminded of. Especially since there is no world war currently, yet, at least, and communication might help stop one. Also, Godwin's law, strangel

If X/Twitter was to be banned in the EU, and some of its citizens still wanted to access X/Twitter, let us say for the sake of getting alternative points of view on politics and news, would it be a good or a bad thing if accessing

Does your country allow suing him for a large monetary amount? Have you talked to the media? A lawyer? Maybe together with others? Made it as easy as possible for the police to get him, paper trail, receipts and all? You do have points, tho

There can be "cynical greedy bastards" in many places. If you optimize against them in one regard and place, will you also handle them elsewhere well? And calling for change can be abused by some of them to open new opportunities

I think you have good arguments, but I wonder if there are alternatives that could work in at least some cases. Like, how Unreal engine's license works. Source-available to game developers, but in theory limited to paying customers, or

But do bitwise copies when moving not also possibly incur that, even without Copy? If the optimizer doesn't optimize it away? Since movement can happen by copying bits and releasing the old bits, as long as there is no UnsafeCell in th

A change in economic system might be neither sufficient nor necessary, especially if the new economic system turns out to be even worse, or a scam. One approach is to have expectations to not only the economic system, but also other systems

It has a more lax license AFAIK. Also, many Rust projects and libraries have been abandoned, or are in so-so shapes. Edit: To specify, new projects like sudo-rs may seem promising, but going by observation and experience with similar projec

This might be a controversial view: What if the exploitative aspect is open source itself? Trick some above average but naive developers into giving their talent, effort, insights and time away for free or very little? Maybe open source or

I think I've heard of Rust devs complaining about moves having implicit bitwise copies that were not optimized away.

I am not sure that I understand you correctly, and I find the subject interesting. Is it what the enum abstraction can model easily that is the issue? If so, I believe the Rust community has similar issues regarding error handling. There ar
