    The controversy you pointed out is about someone who was writing factually false information and feeding hate against people who should be covered under the freedom of speech. The ban happened during his life, and not years after he died. Therefore his works were not a peace of gone culture, but hate in the present of time.

    If I follow your argumentation, that being that you should allow people write false information feeding hate against specific people just living their life in peace, you should be against censoring Hate speech against Lgbtqia+ people too, or the better question would be: where do you draw the line? At Jews? At queer people?




  • Yes, but you say it like the Author himself changed it.

    In the specific Example, the book is from before 2000 and the author is long dead. That book is a piece of culture now, displaying the writing style from a place in time where it was normal to discriminate against people. By changing a book, regardless of if it was actually amazon or just some manager that bought up the rights for the book, it is manipulating the Past. Amazon should not allow to do such things

    I love the idea of the easy installer.

    looks at GrapheneOS installer… Literally just 3 buttons on a Website you have to click, all of the steps easily written with clear instructions for Linux as well as windows

    looks at /e/ installer

    • finds 5 Websites with installers for /e/, all of them apparantly official ones, decided to use https://e.foundation/installer/
    • Site dosent let you view this instructions without JavaScript.
    • enabled JS
    • Cant even use fcking Firefox to view this installer because a fcking pop-up Blocks my sight
    • goddamn privacy oriented Android Rom Website recommends using Microsoft edge or Opera (both of which are privacy nightmares, especially opera)
    • smashes pillow against the wall

    I give up. If you call that bloated peace of dierrhea an „Easy installer”, you could just as well say that gentoo is easier to install than mint.
