Gumroad made itself more transparent by releasing its source code and becoming a source-available project. That deserves recognition, even though Gumroad is not open source due to its restrictive license. Software is only open source if it does not discriminate against any person or group, even when the discrimination is viewed as positive.

MapQuest uses OpenStreetMap data, so that may actually be true for areas where Google Maps has poor coverage.

(and possibly Snap)

I hope they exclude Snap from the default installation. Don’t want an OS with built-in support for Canonical’s closed source app store service when Flatpak is decentralized and FOSS on the server side.

Yes, Plasma 6 was the turning point for me, since it introduced pixel-perfect fractional scaling on Wayland for just about every application.

Only Google is claiming that the damages are less than $1 million. You’re taking Google’s self-interested claim as fact while overlooking Google’s financial motivation to pay less than what they owe, which a jury could find to be in the hundreds of millions. For obvious reasons, court judgments aren’t decided by the defendants.

Based on the statements Google previously made, Google most likely sent a check for a fraction of the damages that a jury could find them liable for.

It’s unclear just how big the check was. The court filing redacted key figures to protect Google’s trade secrets. But Google claimed that testimony from US experts “shrank” the damages estimate “considerably” from initial estimates between $100 million and $300 million, suggesting that the current damages estimate is “substantially less” than what the US has paid so far in expert fees to reach those estimates.

According to Reuters, Google has not disclosed “the size of its payment” but has said that “after months of discovery, the Justice Department could only point to estimated damages of less than $1 million.”

A fine of less than $1 million is absolutely not what anyone except Google is asking for.
