Isn't Gutenberg optional? Can't you have a checkbox that says "I'm disabled, I can't use Gutenberg, give me the old editor"

Well of course if you are not a EU resident you don't get free childbirth. This is a country not a resort hotel.

Haha, what? Childbirth costs 0 € in a public hospital
First, what makes you think there could have been other wars?

Second, do you really think that the solution that was given in the Balkans is good? Even today, many people are deeply unhappy about it.

No offence but that's just laughable. You just have to look at the Balkans right now. Ham-fisted is an understatement.

Who defines what is unethical? What is unethical for you might be ethical for others and vice versa.

Most people don't have that amount of RAM. What are the chances that a soft bit flip will cause silent data corruption that matters for a user with, say, 8 GB of RAM?
I doubt anybody cares about Google+, honestly. In fact I'm happy to see it die, after all the pain it's caused me (YouTube integration)

The idea of circles sounds fantastic on paper but it's simply too much work for the common user.

For most of the posts users would make, users would probably spend more time thinking about which circles to enable than actually writing the post. It's a headache and it leads to a poor experience, it feels like a hurdle, something you must do; it makes posting less natural.

Facebook on the other hand offers the same functionality but it's "buried" so you can use it at your convenience.
