History shows time and time again that collapsing cities/societies/empires cannot be stopped nor redirected with violence. The endemic causes are there, violence may provide a respite but it just accelerates the overall disintegration of the society.

May what is happening to the USA be a wake up call for the rest of the western world.

If you need to exercise your right to bear arms, you have already lost. The battle is won in education, critical skills, and mobilising together (unions, etc).

Such a waste. 2025-06-01. Easy. Chronological.

that is orthogonal with packaging standards, packaging security, and packaging policy violations…

Compare this: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/

With this single page: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines

In case you think “but those policies are not needed, they are superfluous” (like some Arch devs). They are not. Packagers send their fixes upstream, and then, other distros, with lower standards, consume the already fixed upstream releases, and sometimes pretend that this work was not needed nor present, not realizing that all distros benefit from it even if your policies are more relaxed.

There’s a reason why the Deepin Desktop Environment was never part of Debian, and only available via their own ppa repositories, even if the Deepin distro is based in Debian.

Barring Arch, and boutique distros, other distros normally have even better packaging standards than opensuse. By far.

USB sticks will lose the data after a couple of years of not being powered

Element. If you are missing something, talk to all those motivated people doing Discord bots or whatever, they can contribute to Element/Matrix. And it’s actually open source, they keep their contributions, contrary to all the work they have done for Discord for free.

Mass strikes. Call your union, other unions, whatever union. Organise a mass strike day. Repeat it every week.

Guess whose doing an IPO and will sell all its data plus get advertisements everywhere? Yep, Discord…

and then wiki.gg gets bought, as other wikis got. No thanks.

Write content in a community mediawiki maintained by the community instead.

“But doing things correctly in life is difficult so why try”.

People still do and build thinga the correct way. See Matrix and Element.
