Been using Ubuntu since 2008... looks like this will be the last year for me.

I meant no interest in using it.

Have you actually analyzed what your real bottleneck is?

People need to get this through their heads, XMPP is the only solution for their problems.

Strongly disagree and this sounds like dangerous FUD to me. For one, there's comparatively zero users across XMPP anyways, and it has a big problem with compatibility across different software packages. It also does nothing to help the problems stated in the video of massive droves of abusive content and server operators unknowingly hosting copies of it across the world. Then there's the privacy and GDPR minefields that come with any decentralized/federated service.

The problem is the evidence requires linking to channels hosting CSAM, so nobody is going to provide that for you.

That's great for you. But it also has tons of problems with a lot of other users. Including issues with proprietary drivers, XWayland compat for many apps/games, screen tearing, multi-monitor setups (esp. with different aspect ratios and/or dpi scaling factors), VRR, HDR, rotation, color management, many accessibility features etc.

Sounds a bit like Switzerland where they aren't technically part of the EU but they selectively enforce a good bit of the same rules in their own way.

I don't think most people actually care. And if it doesn't affect the reading of the book, why should they care?

My shelves are filled with authors that have questionable views. I own some books by Marquis de Sade and Yukio Mishima and those authors are extremely controversial. I own a copy of Being and Time and Heidegger is associated with Anti-Semitism and Nazism. Agatha Christie's novels are filled with casual orientalism and racism, and Houellebecq is criticized for being a sexist Islamophobe whose stories have far-right extremist views. My shelves are filled with pessimists and misanthropists and I'm quite sure many of them would share Rowling's views on transgender issues, but I have no plans to get rid of those books.

I understand why someone no longer wants to read Rowling and essentially cancels her, but at the same time I wonder if cancelling authors is any different from banning books. Should we stop reading books because their authors were not good people or is there a difference between deceased authors and modern authors who are alive to profit from booksales? Do you separate the book from the writer or is the author's personal life relevant to you?
