I had the same idea, though I'm a bit apprehensive about it. I'm not that technical, so it's kinda difficult for me. Do you have any resources you care to share?

legacy add-on format

What do you need that for?

Either way, it doesn't really matter. Focusing on what the scripture says only legitimizes the hatred religious people choose to display. Someone's either homophobic or they're not, and excusing themselves with religious arguments is just weak. Let's not encourage it.

I think you meant [email protected], right?

Guillotines [...] reference perhaps the most important part in late medieval European history

The guillotine is best known for its use in France, particularly during the French Revolution. The French revolution was late 18th century, long after the Middle Ages had ended.

Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 are on sale now on GOG, at least in my region. They're hella affordable:
https://www.gog.com/game/baldurs_gate_enhanced_edition
https://www.gog.com/en/game/baldurs_gate_2_enhanced_edition

Apparently the GOG versions also contain the original games, unlike the Steam versions. And they're much cheaper, even without the discount. They also run on really low specs.

It just goes to show how an accusation like this sticks to a company's reputation. The reason for your company switching could be totally unrelated, yet your mind still jumps to this. Have you asked why they're switching?

Yeah, I've not been able to find any allegations by anyone else, except for his vague mentions. There was also a Jewish person who had worked at SUSE who commented in one thread that they felt nothing less than welcomed.

Free mental healthcare is a great idea, but it will only partially solve the problem. Men tend to use mental healthcare way less than women. Where I live (where it's basically free) there are some efforts to get men into programs, like support groups specifically for men, but these don't change the situation much. There needs to be a cultural change as well, aside from societal improvements to better everybody's lives.

SUSE because of Yast and the (german) company’s rumored?stance on antisemitism

I was really surprised to read about the antisemitism allegation. That's a very serious accusation. I've looked into it and it seems that these claims are controversial. First thing to mention is that the accuser said himself that this was about the company SUSE, and not the distribution openSUSE.

The article claims there are emails and other employees' statements as proof, but provides none. The article is also over a year old, so why hasn't this led to any public statements from SUSE or any legal or other actions? Antisemitism is a serious offense in Germany.

Discussions on reddit and hacker news all state that the writer has gone off the rails. When being called out on reddit for deadnaming a trans woman, he plays dumb. I don't think he's dumb. It seems to me like he's transphobic and acting like a troll about it in good old American conservative fashion.

For me, this seriously calls into question any claims he makes about social justice stuff, even if it concerns himself. He apparently views other people's social justice as something to play with, so my gut feeling is that it would be no concern to him to lie or bend the truth about stuff like this in order to achieve something. It's all a game to him in the political arena, not serious life issues.

If I'm wrong, all he has to do is provide the proof he claims there is, even if only anonymized.

Yeah, I looked it up the other day and apparently it only gives less results with words flagged with "-". It's stupid because a few years ago there was syntax to exclude a term completely, so it's definitely possible to do. I don't understand why they just won't.
