  1. Yeah, but banning the name ??? Is Trump a banned name ? If they really have a problem with politics, they should simply close the threads or posts that are political (and probably asking for trouble). Not banning a name, Jeez Louise!

  2. You can, I think, I hope, also try to push back against such nonsense. I'm sure that Linux Mint has a TON of users that are actually sane. If they receive a massive pushback, maybe this can be corrected and Linux Mint can remain as a a good option to have.

  3. I agree on your first part, but fully disagree with the last paragraph about "if you're a tech reporter, report on the tech". I mean, you can certainly skip the un-interesting to you stuff, just like I skip political stories some times and sport stories almost all the time. But if something is in the tech, or affects the tech, how, why shouldn't that be reported ? You mean that, say, hypothetically a news item like "Company X in tech is shutting down half of its servers in preparation of the incoming hurricane and floods that will hit tomorrow" should NOT be reported because some people "don't want a weather report" ?? Should the fact that the organization that funds and steers the Linux development decides to spend less and less on that and increasingly more on totally unrelated stuff NOT be reported ? Something like this, where, if people know about it in time, can rally up and push against some stupid political change, so they can save the project NOT be covered, because it's a news item that's political in nature ? I'm just baffled beyond words of how can you say that. It's beyond obvious to me that this SHOULD.... no, sorry, this MUST be reported on. You can simply filter them out if you're not interested. But the reporting of something that affects tech, by tech journalists absolutely must be done. That's journalism 101. Jeez Louise!

  4. Sorry to put this out to you, but many artist are and were as$h0les Or at least very very difficult to work with, and hard to be a close person to. Aka, very focused on their project and their passion, neglecting everything else. If you want to check all the people of all the bands, movies, paintings, sculptures etcetc in detail, you''ll be put off by 80% of them. I'd say to separate the two, the artist and the art, and only make sure that you don't promote ahole artists in a way that enables them to be more ahole-y. At least on the dead ones that's very easy. With Linux Mint, maan, that's so disappoint to hear. I hope the community can steer it off of that though.

  5.  @LeiosLabs  Isn't the cancel culture a left thing ? People who worked very well for a project for YEARS and suddenly got pushed out of it (sometimes that being their own project) because "not fighting for trans rights is transphobic" ? I'm not saying there's not a lot of rotten right wing people or that there's no normal left people, but you can't say that it's only a problem with the far right and that somehow these kinds of exagerrated actions aren't a problem of the left.

  6. The sane left people (the ones that actually care about actual important stuff) should form a mass and push back against all of this nonsense.

  7. I'd say Gentoo. But it's really not for everyone.
