Please tell me what people actually reject.

I can only speak for myself now. Perhaps this much about me: I am a data protection-loving communist. As such, I am bothered by unjust laws in the EU such as data retention and the constant feeling that we are ultimately powerless here because no matter what we do, our future is decided in Brussels/Strasbourg. Germany in particular tends to deport politicians who have proven to be the enemy of the free web in this country to the European Parliament (Axel Voss, Ursula von der Leyen, etc.).

Potentially, all of them. Technically, EU politics are “not your country’s” politics.

There can be no logical explanation for this that has anything to do with EU policy.

1. Yes, it is, but it has become common practice in Germany to automatically portray things that the AfD also wants as “far-right demands”. That is, of course, utter nonsense.
2. No, they are not.

My point was meant differently than it may have sounded. Personally, as a German myself, I am open to leaving both the EU and the euro. I was only concerned with the implication that “Euro = EU”, which is factually wrong.

Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City have the euro, but are not in the EU; Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Sweden are in the EU, but do not yet have the euro. A special case is Denmark, which is currently the only EU country with a “non-participation option” that has decided not to introduce the euro in future either.

I love how this is (mis)used to dismiss EU critics as “far-right”, although communists were always against the EU as well.

EU and Euro are not the same thing. Those memberships do not require each other.

My RSS reader (Newsblur) lets me do that too, to some extent.

• Stopped using reddit, went here instead.
• Intensified my Mastodon usage, winding down my Twitter activity.
• Started using my own mail server for more than just a few tests.
• Changed search engines a few times (I’ll probably stick with Kagi now).
• Reduced my subscriptions and cleaned up my RSS feeds.
• Stopped doomscrolling (I subscribed to a weekly paper newspaper instead).
• Started using Ulysses for writing. Works very well.

Linux is probably not the wisest choice for gaming - that would still be Windows. Anyway, the distribution does not matter that much. You can install most Linux and cross-platform software on most distributions. Do not choose your system because of what comes as the default desktop, default package set et cetera. Try a few ones. Read some reviews.

Why does the Linux Foundation even have a trademark process for “segmentation fault”? According to the poster on Mastodon, these words were the whole design.
