Read it as 'we have at least stable democracy', hung for a few moments

Maybe you're right and it could work. I'm afraid there's always a share of sociopaths this will not affect, but this may be seen as impossible to fix anyway. What I am also afraid of is that the speed of changes is glacial in this model, and sometimes people are bullied into suicide in the course of mere weeks
Yeah, trusting someone to make right decisions is hard because this trust usually ends up being betrayed sooner or later.
Regarding the first part, I meant that we as a community can't put enough pressure on a bully to make em leave, if that bully is part of the community that supports em.
It says 'as a large language model' in the beginning, and 'sincerely' in the end
And what would happen when the community itself is built on hatred and welcomes hate wholeheartedly?
Connection to the state sounds like a much better reason than 'being Russian or using Russian email address'. I understand why the internet 'discussion' mostly fails to notice this difference
As far as I understand, they don't want to publish new releases there because there's nothing new to release, and they don't have resources to maintain it
Take my opinion with a grain of salt because I didn't want to research the books before writing.
Something that has 'advances in …' in the title is likely very outdated, because those are history by now. Data based computers also seem to be a concept of the past.
Nevertheless the former may have some ideas that are worth reinventing now, and the latter may be insightful if you want to learn about database design and optimisations. Both are likely of interest for retro enthusiasts, and at least are good as historical records.
Sometimes management likes to find a scapegoat to blame everything on. 'Failed' features may make you one, even though it's the management to be blamed.
To be fair, this possibility is the only downside I find, even though it's pleasant to finish something and let the user enjoy the result
It's not a cell phone, y'all.
That also doesn't really need annual updates. I'm guessing the only reason phone manufacturers do that is out of fear that otherwise users will go and buy something else from those who do annual updates.
Except for the countries that have anti-hate laws that are deliberately vague and specifically used to jail anyone who is disliked by the government. China and Russia come to mind as examples, but I'm sure they aren't the only ones.
Besides hate-speech, I'm not sure how much should be censored really. China does a lot of censoring to 'protect' their citizens from everything, I'm not sure this would be a good thing even if that really was a goal.
And protecting children from traumatising content looks like another good thing to do, but under that banner I usually see governments doing whatever they want without caring about children past using their image.
Probably not, but then it also shouldn't come as a surprise that you being annoyed will have little impact
