No, because they're FOSS-pilled and chose 7zip?

While you're right, this holds true for e.g. 'gimp' and 'git' too.

Republican voters voted for this. Non-voters didn't vote, hence the name. I can't believe I have to tell you this. Even if there wasn't a single non-voter, nothing would've changed. Try directing your douchebag attitude towards those who are actually responsible.

The amount of people who voted republican completely obliterates the tiny fraction of people who abstained from voting democrat. How about directing focus where it's relevant?

Recording in public isn't the issue, there is no expectation of privacy.

Is anyone claiming that recording in public for any reason is wrong? Otherwise, I don't get why this needs to be asserted.

You're choosing to ignore other countries which has left the EU and focusing on one example. Interesting. Wonder why that could be?

Please tell me more about how every country that has withdrawn from EU has failed

It’s about democracy and sovereignty. Let’s say a EU member internationally votes 51% in favor of implementing socialism. Because of the EU membership, it would not be possible to implement due to regulations outside of a single country’s control, and EU is famously very capitalistic in general.

One non-extreme example in my country Sweden is that EU is threatening to make snus (i.e. oral tobacco product which zyn is based on) illegal, despite it being widely used and arguably a way more healthy nicotine product than cigarettes. Currently, Sweden has an exemption from the snus ban, but that exemption is not guaranteed for the future.

Also, if extreme right-wing forces grow stronger (which they currently are doing), it could result in EU policy regarding limiting lgbt rights or other horrible right-wing policies, despite a given country’s elected politicians not being of a right-wing majority.
