I used to have a spreadsheet of all the packages I use and their availability between distros. I think I’d like to update that and see if Alpine is viable (I like Fedora but it’s getting a bit stale how good and stable it is, so I’m kinda looking forward to trying something new)
Personally, I’m interested in, and prefer the stable version, where that is available, with the only exception being OpenSUSE where I’d pick Tumbleweed any day of the week because it had some packages I wanted that weren’t on Leap yet.
I don’t know all of the regex rules (look ahead/behind, etc); but it’s honestly not that bad. If you can learn the syntax for a programming language, you can learn the basics of regex…
Sure, learning basics of regex is not that hard, but complex regex expressions can easily become impenetrable. I actually like the verbal expressions idea where you write out the regex using a long form and that gets compiled into the actual regex, e.g:
My brief experience with LINQ has also taught me to prefer this type of thing as well; though I still use regex on a daily basis most of the time, given my environment.
I feel like you’re intentionally using a definition of left wing that is essentially “Every thing I like is Left, everything bad is right”. Most people think of absolute free speech as a right wing position, mostly because theyve listened to people who identify as left talk about free speech curtailment to suit them for a long time

it used to be the right wingers that wanted to censor everything back in the 1990’s, now it’s the democrats that want to censor everyone for equally stupid, but different reasons.
All censorship is bad. whether it’s a private corporation with a monopoly or a government doing it doesn’t matter, all censorship is bad.
Also if republicans are more likely to allow people to say what they want, why should I vote for democrats? Free speech and freedom from religion was the very first law to ever be written in the US.
Things change. Maybe painting libertarians, randian libertarians, conservatives, republicans and the Unabomber as all the same wing muddies the waters.

I totally agree with you that the government should never be involved in censoring anything, but differ on private corporations, especially as far as the internet is concerned.
The internet as a whole should never be censored. People should always be able to make their own website with whatever they want on there, even if it will get them arrested. The owners of a website should always have control over the content that they allow, though.
If the owners of a company don’t want to see hate speech or extreme content on their own product than it should always be their right to remove it. If the majority of the public doesn’t want to see Nazi shit on a social media site then it will always be in that corporations best interest to remove it, or people will stop using it.
All censorship is bad, but some of it is a necessary evil to keep the internet from being flooded with hate speech, gore, and CSAM. I will say that some companies take it way too far with the things that they censor, and it sucks, but it is within their right.
