VLC also has a company behind it: https://videolabs.io/

Mount your internal disks to /D:, /E:, /F:, etc.

It is a good idea. Imagine you are completely new to Ubuntu and want to install chromium. You're gonna search on Google how to do that and you will probably find an old article telling you to use APT. If ‘sudo apt install chromium’ did not work it would be very frustrating.

Yes, but I guess Romanians would prefer being spied on by the CIA rather than by China and its close ally, Russia.

The README does not say which DirectX version they are targeting. The screenshot show "DirectX 0". Looking at the code, I see a directory called "d3d9", but those files are mostly empty.

So yeah... nothing to see here. Maybe in 5 or 10 years.

They look super tasty!

Oh, I wouldn't even count China, NK and Russia. They block so many websites they are in their own category.

Well, they've heard people can use a VPN to bypass the current blocking (which is done by the ISP, usually through the DNS server) so they are looking for alternatives. It's only natural.

As far as I know, all governments block websites. What would be more interesting is comparing which one sensors the most.

edit: to be clear, what I mean is: the method used by governments to censor the web is not as important as what is being censored. And I wish there was a simple way to monitor what is censored by each state.
