Agreed, but I find the JavaScript to be difficult to work with. (This is less about he language and more about the fact that the API is a little vague and errors are not well reported.)
> A national library is a library established by a government as a country's preeminent repository of information. Unlike public libraries, these rarely allow citizens to borrow books. Often, they include numerous rare, valuable, or significant works. A national library is that library which has the duty of collecting and preserving the literature of the nation within and outside the country. Thus, national libraries are those libraries whose community is the nation at large. Examples include the British Library in London, and the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris.
I vaguely remember seeing something about them contributing some minor security patches or something token. The BSD license doesn't require them to of course, which was probably the whole reason Sony chose it.
I don't want to put words in your mouth but if you are implying that the US influence over Google, MS, and Apple is comparable to China's influence over TikTok and other Chinese companies then that is an utterly false equivalence. I don't have links but it is well established the role and influence CCP has in Chinese companies and US companies have gone to great legal lengths to restrict the US Government's involvement in certain areas like the fight over encryption.

Yeah, they spend a fortune on lobbying - nonetheless they are very compliant with the US "national security". Keep them downvotes coming, Snowden never blew a whistle.
The issue is (as far as I know) the CCP has unfettered access to Chinese apps. On the other hand, the US government has to ask. While Google, MS, Apple, etc have all said "yes" plenty of times, they also have said "no" and are doing so more frequently as public opinion is changing on privacy. Literally the ability to say no is a big difference.
If I am wrong about the unfettered access, let me know.
No, it doesn't. HardenedBSD is one guy who became sore when FreeBSD rejected his patches due to complete lack of design, simple and common C programming errors and overall extremely poor code quality. Despite being provided with the usual review and suggestions he kept submitting them like that and at some point FreeBSD devs became bored with his attitude and moved on. And that's how HardenedBSD came to life.
Author thought that having ASLR is absolutely must (hint: it's not[1].) HardenedBSD is poorly reviewed ASLR implementation by a person who didn't take criticism well + recommended new defaults from subj.
Later hBSD added neat things like different update mechanism (hint: it's the same minus delta patches), retpoline enabled by default a little earlier than FreeBSD and probably still haven't disabled it.
It's a fact that FreeBSD had poor defaults for ages and only recently (last couple of years) started cleaning things up. That said I never seen FreeBSD user running default system settings. Many not even running GENERIC kernel, me included.
I think FreeBSD has a lot of issues, but 90% are political bullshit.
