mission accomplished? That has the same effect as making it private, doesn't it?

Normally one would expect stupid bills to pass the House, but fail in the Senate.

Has this happened before that it was the other way round?

of course; all of these are very much pre-Internet ones and don't correspond to any Internet slang in English

Chromium and WebKit both still have bits from KHTML in them which is LGPL

It is Wikimedia Commons, not Wikipedia. That is where most of the images used on Wikipedia and other WMF projects are stored. It has categories for nearly everything under the sun.

Yup.

In the 2000s (very young at the time) I sometimes thought about how awesome it would be if we had devices where we could go on the Internet from everywhere.

I do not want the world back where people could only look things up on the Internet from home or work or where there is a desktop computer.

Power to young people. Politicians who propose things like this, may you lose all elections.

If you are a teenager, I am so sorry for my fellow adults who think we have any business deciding how you guys live your lives. I assure you we are not all like this.

Facebook does a lot of things. Depends on what exactly you're looking for. Facebook allows you to follow friends and organizations (= Mastodon), it also allows you to participate in groups (= Lemmy), and then it has a few other features too.

This is true to some extent, but the best, most successful open source software is nowadays to a large extent made by for-profit businesses developing it for their own use but sharing it with the world.

There is a strong correlation between "is this kind of software mainly used by businesses vs. individuals" and "does this kind of software tend to be open source". Hardly anyone uses proprietary version control or web server software anymore. But (other extreme) in the area of video games, nearly all of them are still proprietary and probably will be for a long time. Software such as web browsers or office suites sits somewhere in between, both kinds exist there.
