The current trend in govt regulation is actually going in the opposite direction, with telecom lobbies in Europe pushing for "fair share" (pretty much an implementation through law of what Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone Germany are doing right now) through the Digital Networks Act.
South Korea pioneered "fair share" govt regulations in 2016 (which caused Twitch to exit the market in 2024 due the exorbitant "fair share" fees).
Because western governments (and those whose governments were modeled from western regimes - like post-war South Korea and Japan) have become victim to regulatory capture and corruption. It’s why the FCC has repeatedly killed, blocked, or reversed reforms like net neutrality or “nutrition labels” on ISPs, and why South Korea gave in to “fair share” regulations that deterred further investment. Tech money is hugely influential, and the industry is almost exclusively made up of rent-seeking slumlords at this point, particularly at the top (Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, Apple, etc). It’s why DMCA reform is blocked, why pirates get jail time while AI grifts get a hand-wave, and why right-to-repair or data privacy remains a fractured and piecemeal reform instead of a national agenda item.
The problem isn’t regulation, but regulatory capture ensuring companies get the regulations they desire and benefit from.

Aka regulation..... Nearly all regulation is for regulatory capture and if you think of something that isn't it probably just outlived who it was designed to capture for.
That’s an incredibly nihilistic and naive way of viewing regulation. Pre-Reagan but post-Depression, much of the regulations passed were beneficial to society and harmful to Capital interests: forcibly dividing investment banking from retail, for instance, to protect consumer deposits; the FDA, for gradually weeding out snake oil “cure-alls” and ensuring the safety of foodstuffs; eliminating child labor, setting livable minimum wages, creating overtime rules, protecting Unions and workers; safety standards for buildings like fire sprinklers, protected evacuation stairwells, engineering rules and sign-off requirements; and on, and on, and on.
Regulation is overwhelmingly positive, but the past fifty years have been a deliberate demonstration of the frailty and abusability of regulations by entrenched capital via regulatory capture, mainly to create people who (often unknowingly) champion a return to flammable mattresses, tainted foodstuffs, and corporate monopolies in the name of deregulation.
Regulations are a tool, a tool that can be wielded for the benefit of society or the benefit of Capital. It’s up to the electorate to be educated enough to advocate for proper use of said tool, rather than ignorantly swallow propaganda to let Capital run roughshod with them.
Lobbying amounts have gone up almost everywhere. This issue almost always comes down to regulators allowing Capital to purchase influence, such that regulations end up not being pro-citizen. I don't know how we fix this.
Fibers are incredibly powerful, as they can be used to implement seamless go-like concurrency with async, colorless functions.
They were added to PHP by the maintainers of amphp (https://amphp.org), which is the best library for async PHP out there, providing a clean, object-oriented and async API for files, databases and everything that can make use of async I/O.
Async functions based on PHP fibers are explicitly uncolored, they do not require any special keywords to be invoked, and are explicitly swappable with any regular functions.
Still? It is the best and the most mature cross-platform toolkit. Among both open-source and proprietary ones. It is the default for embedded / industrial UIs and automotive. At least in Europe but I think many US companies like Autodesk also use Qt. Its programming paradigms are a bit outdated. However, it is quite performant and supports many 2D and 3D acceleration drivers / APIs.
Not really, the auth_key_id really is simply equivalent to a TLS session ticket, used to avoid repeating the handshake every time a new connection is established: there's nothing "unencryted" about it, it's just an identifier of a previously established encrypted channel, like session tickets in TLS (and on top of that, the MTProto auth key ID is also rotated every 24 hours).
Note that the article employs unwarranted FUD in regards to the auth_key_id, which is fully equivalent to a TLS session ticket, used, like in TLS, to avoid repeating the handshake each time a new connection is established (and on top of that, the MTProto auth key ID is also rotated every 24 hours).
Apparently they're using a simple 4g/3g/2g modem with Russian SIM, which is the reason why all russian ISPs completely turn off mobile internet (& voice) when drone launches are detected (clearly hasn't helped here as the drones were launched from trucks super close to the targets).
These launches specifically seem to have also used on-board AI targeting models trained on photos of the plane models to hit, I assume as a fallback in case mobile connection isn't available inside the bases (and photos on some Telegram channels seem to show usage of the FOSS autopilot system ArduPilot (https://ardupilot.org))
You listed around 4 competing stores in your example, but Apple explicitly does not allow anyone to compete with their own store (except for in the EU, thanks to the DMA, and even then they take their cut, see below).
Another issue with the analogy is that when you buy a PC in a physical store, that store does not continue taking a cut of all software bought on that PC using i.e. unrelated digital stores (but that's precisely what Apple is asking from competing stores in the EU).
Grishka wrote very low quality code (an extremely buggy and segfaulty mess of C and C++), combined with little testing in not-so-edge case network conditions.
I managed to improve the situation after weeks of refactoring and testing for my library, and thankfully now it was completely replaced by webrtc.
