Hey, it’s better than the gnome developers who will just close your issue when the discussion gets “too heated” or they refuse to see your use case as valid.
I think these are separate issues and can be managed using different strategies. Corporate influence is about $$ and many different, constitutional remedies can be applied for that.
IMHO, corporate social media has ruined American culture. It has amplified detrimental voices to society and at the heart of America’s woes is a rotting culture.

That’s literally the point: he can’t. His apology is useless.
The point of an apology is to acknowledge a mistake and signal that you will attempt to change your behaviour to prevent or avoid that mistake in the future.
A really good apology will also identify the steps that will be taken to avoid the mistake going forward.
I argue that if you don’t or can’t make an attempt to change your behaviour, your apology has no meaning. That is, the apology is not sincere and therefore not useful.
I am a degrowther, but people keep telling me it’s hard to create media communications campaigns for degrowth and that advocating for it is “political suicide.” As if endless cancerous growth isn’t political suicide already. I’m told people want growth and we should use a different name for degrowth and that we should...

Biden is part of the old boys club where all the monied interests hang out. If you think AOC will get their support you’re not thinking of the current USA. Politics in USA is owned by corporations and I haven’t seen her back corps, why would they back her?
It’s strange that the founding fathers of the USA were mostly in their 20s at the time of the founding, but you can’t be a POTUS until you’re over 35(?) now.

I had problems with multiple monitors on Bazzite when trying it out today. PopOS was okay, but it’s still runs X11, and Suse tumbleweed would crash due to graphics issues. So I’m on Fedora 40 now and it’s working excellently (even V rising). F40 and Suse were the only ones to detect Windows on another disk and automatically make it available in the boot menu, which was nice.
