Nice. Ditch WhatsApp. Use an app that has no user identifiers to begin with so no chance of that happening, that is apps like https://simplex.chat/

Is there any scientific evidence Esperantano is more efficient, has significantly superior user experience/usability? What about that in the context of using it for software engineering? People seem to have developed it in the 1800s; so outdated. Also many issues https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto#Criticism like bias and the gender non-neutrality; I would discard it. I would suggest to come up with a better language for the 21st century. This one seems better https://www.globasa.net/eng

Also, isn't this an XY problem? The problem is that many people do not know the current dominant language that people use in science, technology, so on. So you propose Esperanto. Well, now you gatekeep it to people who know Esperanto, which is a way less demography than English. But since learning languages that are more close to one's native language is easier, that would allow people from Latin/Roamance/Germanic-based languages to possibly learn it faster? That would not be true to Asiatic languages, ...

Why another language is the correct solution? Why not improve current education systems? Why not machine translation? Why not improve translations? If the US switches its official language to Esperanto, wouldn't it be imperialist as well? Language dominance is linked to socioeconomic development. You need countries like US to actually adopt it; otherwise it would be just another language to learn besides English. You are just making it harder.

I'd also add Jami to the recommended list, even though it is a bit buggy.

well i won't be using anything google.

Which one in specific? There are some packages which maintainers did not bother creating xdg desktop specification... you can look into nixpkgs source code to see if they are specified there or not.

I do not know if Debian is able to pick the desktop files though

Rules can only do so much as it was written down. They incentive burocracy.

The narrative typically takes the side of ‘open/free speech’ is tantamount and that any suppression of said speech is unwelcome (typically said in a much more hostile way).

I'm not too sure about US in specific, but there are democratic countries' law where free speech is not an absolute guaranteed right; it cannot go against other laws, human dignity, ...

LibreOffice Draw, Okular, Xournal++, LaTeX, ... i also use a 4.9 version of Master PDF Editor. https://itsfoss.com/pdf-editors-linux/

Look I did not see this was a game piracy community. And I was hypocritical about games because I used to piracy old plastation 2, Wii, ... games. I also did that with music, movies, shows, .... but I still feel like I can live without most of the content I pirated; only some of these media I have taken for life but they became valuable enough for me to purchase.

Pirating software is risky. Never doing that unless in a VM. I also do not find it justified to pirate entertainment like videogames. And pirating software in general I also do not find justified because there are great and better free software alternatives, unless you really need it.

I find it mostly justified to pirate knowledge, science, ...
