Conclusion after reading the comments: the country information is very relevant!! In Germany tailgating is forbidden, and is also driving in the middle lane. It is forbidden to pass using the right lane in highways. In USA I remember the recommendation was different, try to stay in your lane, they considered the constant change of lanes more dangerous than passing using the right lane.
Moral of the story: Don't judge without the complete information.

This can be controversial, but my opinion is that religious education normally is the opposite of critical thinking. If you teach the kids to accept beliefs just based on faith, you're killing critical thinking.

Organic Maps Forked Over Governance Concerns: CoMaps is Born

What you call drama is a healthy community fighting against violated principles. So, according to you, what's the alternative? Just keep working with broken principles and never complain? Allow a bunch of greedy members to take over the project?
If you have paid attention, basically community always win: libreoffice vs openoffice, mariadb over mysql, jenkins over hudson, x.org over xfree86, ffmpeg over libav, nextcloud over owncloud, etc.
Right to fork is one of the most important to keep project in community hands and follow declared principles. Some forget that and are just doomed to repeat the history.
Disclaimer: I work on iDempiere who forked adempiere because of community disagreements, which also forked from compiere because of corporative takeout.
Long live to CoMaps!

Open source is a thankless job and I think we've lost the plot on how we treat maintainers
if you're not paying for it, do you actually get to demand anything? (Obviously yes, but we still need some boundaries)
Wrong!! Obviously no. You're not entitled to demand anything. You can ask politely.
You don't like the project? Go and use another alternative.
There is no alternative? Go and write your own.
You don't have the skills? Go and pay somebody with the skills. And if you want the most skilled for the job, probably is the person maintaining that project that you don't like but still keep using for free.

Separated at birth, identical twins raised in Korea and America found to have unusual differences in IQ
What about the education systems? One of those two countries is heavily denying basic science at schools, teaching creationism as something at the same level as evolutionism, letting religion pollute education, banning books from schools, teaching obsolete two genders theory, etc. Is the study short about the differences in education?

Mount Roraima is over 2 billion years old, predating animals, trees, and dinosaurs. Its sheer 400-meter cliffs isolate an ecosystem found nowhere else on Earth

The thing is that a critic from his own party is unexpected, that's why is relevant over other critical.

My point is that religious education trains the kids to believe things without verifying facts, even unbelievable fables. I'm just trying to point a potential source of what we know is a big problem.

I was thinking the same, were they expecting / provoking that reaction just for the clicks? That's my deduction of the person recording so clear without any try to help.

which VPS do you recommend?

I'm also a switcher from ovh to hetzner. Good service, good support, fast machines, the administration website is very good (ovh was slow and ugly), snapshots and backups are cheap and directly available (AFAIR ovh snapshots required a monthly fee). Hetzner is Germany based, good for GDPR, and now they have data centers in USA too.
