China doesn't behave the way it does because it's a communist state but because it's China and it's how China has conducted relations with the world over the past two and a half thousand years (depending upon their status at the time).
And from China's point of view it is why it will outlive those Powers that think they are permanent.
«Kovid betrayed us with Calibre 8.16.2, and we as a community never should have let that happen, never have placed such a burden on individual generosity. The synthesis of these two truths, then, is nearly self-evident. There must be a new effort, free from AI encumbrances, that is built from the ground-up as a community effort. Something that can outlive the decisions of any one participant»
Glad to see more efforts on community-based FOSS governance!

This weekend the daughters are visiting for an annual tradition - interior Christmas decorating including the tree. I'm responsible for exterior decorations, and that was done 2 weeks ago. My only job inside is to put up our 35 year old artificial tree (bought at a post Christmas sale at White Rose) and then get out of the way. That tree will outlive me I think.
My wife is very excited because we are in a new house which means she MUST shop for new stuff. Actually she needs very little since we downsized this year and she has recently given away 2 boxes of assorted holiday decorations by posting them as FREE on a local online marketplace. Apparently a young couple, new homeowners and short on cash, were the lucky recipients. Tis the season...
