@ErickaSimone They're collecting all the data they think they'll need. They don't care about any amendment, unless it allows them to shoot, boil or behead you. They have a justicial system in place that will give them a pass to do all that, if they care about court rulings at all.

Protests are an important part of a democracy, and Trump really seems to be bothered by people not admiring him, but from an outside view there's nothing democratic about the US any more.

@ErickaSimone To be fair, people here had different opinions about the US, but gerrymandering bothered everyone, including those who bought "land of the free". Most countries in the EU have laws in place specifically preventing that kind of shenanigans.

Even fascists stealing elections here just fake the popular vote instead of going through all these hoops.

@marcan I've had timely responses in the DRM subsystem and constructive interactions because they use GitLab.

Trying to report a kernel bug via email never once got feedback (except for the one time where a Lenovo employee put in their weight).

For me everything points in the same direction: those rejecting modern tools like GitLab are gatekeepers, hiding immense complexity behind the pseudo argument of "accessibility".

Thankfully a lot of other projects do it right.
