"They" being some proponents starting with Ylva Johansson, but it's also true that they have never had a majority to actually make chat control happen. They keep trying, but "they" are not the EU as a whole.

I'm the opposite, I sometimes find :w or :wq written in text files I have edited with non-vi editors.
Found it in the classic The UNIX Programming Environment from 1984:
But then, this is for return, which technically isn't "enter", but nowadays they are sort of interpreted the same by programs?
Isn't ctrl-m the "enter" equivalent?
The list of allies is not that long at the moment.
subreddits are all part of reddit, there's a top part that can decide over all subreddits and make rules and ban people etc. Lemmy does not have a central point of authority. lemmy.world can only make rules and control lemmy.world, lemm.ee can only decide over lemm.ee. If you want your own rules, you can make your own instance and be as valid and part of lemmy as any other instance. The main point is: there is no level above this that controls all instances. Each instance is the top level of authority for that instance, and anyone can create an instance if they have the knowledge and resources.
Another aspect is that technically you could also interact with mastodon, peertube, etc, but that isn't seamless and there's no consensus if it's even a good idea to pursue that, but it's technically possible.
YAST will soon be deprecated though, but I hope something with similar functionality will come.
I have never owned a computer with more than 8gb RAM.

You know how the ending of LOST or Game of Thrones can bring up feelings in people? That's how it was for me when Gnome 3 first came out. I had been using Gnome 2 for a few years and had a good workflow, and then suddenly, everything changed. Back then Gnome 3 was buggy and lacked a lot of things, which didn't help. It also didn't help that the devs took a "the problem is you" stance to all feedback. That said, I use Gnome now, and I like it, it took some years to mature and become good. But the feeling is still there sometimes.
Something similar happened in Sweden, the politicians said that the EU is forcing Sweden to store data about users. Like, "we don't want this... but we have no choice!" And then it turned out that what they did was actually against EU laws and Sweden was fined for doing what they did and ordered to stop.
