People seem oddly optimistic about all of this, but I wouldn't be surprised if the solution they came up with still wouldn't work in Linux. I don't know how exactly they'd do it, but I can imagine some encryption key or hardware nonsense that Linux can't replicate.

Been playing Kitsune Tails recently, which is basically a modern version of Mario Bros 3. I'm at a super advanced post-game level where they are trying to teach me how to shell jump. I'm going to give it a break until I can get into a "grind until I learn the mechanic" headspace.
I don't have any examples, sadly - I'm basing this on what some people on Bluesky have been saying.
The way I usually see it playing out is that people usually call things are negative "reatarded" (e.g. "This app is retarded!", "Wow, I thought that tomato was a fruit, lmao I'm still retarded!"). It just pushes the negative stereotypes associated with it. I don't know if that's what you are doing, but that's how I see a lot of "stop being sensitive bros" do it.
I know its easy to say that every one who hears you talk fully understands precisely what you mean, but do they? I've seen stories of people who "ironically" use racial slurs and didn't realise that it resulted in most of their friends turning out to be actual racists. Likewise, are you pushing away would-be friends who don't want to associate with people who casually throw out slurs? That's ignoring the impact of saying it in a public place, where victims of abuse can hear it.
What's wrong with someone having cognitive difficulties? Why do you feel the need to use the word as a descriptor for negative things?
Yes, it's a slur. Especially outside of the US (where mental conditions are less overtly stigmatised).
Supposedly it's being "reclaimed" by the alt-right on Twitter. But obvously don't listen to the alt-right's views on social progressiveness.
Also, don't call yourself "retarded", you're better than that. <3
Edit: I'm in the UK, and I find this list useful to figure out what's offensive and what isn't: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/broadcast-standards/offensive-language
Out of interest, has anyone here been using Kagi? It's a premium search engine, which means it has reasons and resources to not suck, in theory. Kind of interested in trying it, but not sure how good it actually is.
Standard enshittification: They've been pushing features nobody wants and making user unfriendly decisions. I'm sure other people will provide specific examples, but that's pretty much it.
Another thing is that, due to their market position, they won't let people use alternatives. If there's a big enough fandom wiki, google pushes it to the top above any independent fan supported wiki.
https://getindie.wiki/ Is an extension that redirects fandom wikis to other wikis.
I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect randos online to 100% accurate and correct about what they are saying, regardless of their political leanings.
