It’s great for some people, awful for others. It became a meme because it started to be suggested to everyone even though it’s an awful first introduction to the Linux ecosystem.

People can get into this weird fixation mode where when they made a decision then nothing can keep them from doing it except if it’s physically impossible.

So far I’m inclined to believe Joost’s side of the story. Firstly because innocent until proven guilty. Secondly, because the other side doesn’t tell its side of the story at all.
I think the EBU should have operated under the innocent until proven guilty assumption, especially since they now have opened a way to get rid of competition, just accuse them of assault shortly before the main event.

I can understand and respect your stance. Personally, I wouldn’t take the chance of having to live under a Trump presidency though.

If you don’t have hope, you have already lost.

It’s the other way around in my country. The more votes the middle and left parties lost, the further they moved to the right in an attempt to claw back votes. But then there was a huge protest campaign against the right and the right started losing votes in our regular surveys (though still much too strong).
So I urge you to vote for your option that is not regularly talking about using fascist methods and undoing gained freedoms “on day one”.

It’s main branch these days (at least that’s the new default for new repositories)

You’re pulling an argument of another person into my argument and accuse me of hypocrisy based on that.
You are arguing in bad faith, have a nice day.

Putin has started the war and can end it at any time he pleases by removing his forces from the occupied regions of Ukraine.

Agreed. History has shown that appeasement does not work with these kind of people. You need to set boundaries and push back hard when they test the boundaries you setup or else they’ll just step over any new boundary you set.
