       @fsf Version 1 of H.264 was release on May 30, 2003. So presumably soonish it will be possible to use a subset of H.264 without infringing any patents anyway.

       @tiago Unfortunately, most people prefer convenience over privacy and security. It's the same story with many other tools from big corporations. It used to be that everybody hosted their email server. Then we switched to ISP (or possibly university email). And then everybody (even universities) switched to cloud provided email. Which means big corporations can read your emails (or feed to AI) if at least one recipient is their client even if you personally host your email.

       @EU_Commission Will those mobile driving licenses work for those people who only have Free/Open Source applications on their phone. I kicked googled and other non-FOSS application off my phone.

       @notbobbytables @filippo At least with Rust we have mrustc that is fairy well maintained and gets updated to support newer Rustc versions. And mrustc->rustc bootstrap was even added to main Gentoo tree. Potentially we'll have gccrs too in the future.But OpenJDK chain just gets longer and longer. On the other hand Java seems to be slowly disappearing from the desktop...
