Here in New York City folks were distributing free bagels to the homeless. Out of concern for the food safety aspect of it all, our government helpfully disrupted the work and dumped bleach over the bagels to protect the needy from potentially unsafe food.
When the authorities finished their good work, the hungry folks proceeded to eat bleach-tainted bagels.
Governments don't need to be red to do awfully stupid awful things.
Apparently it goes toward sending customers "Liberal Moron" shirts instead of their requested designs, and also illegally underpaying employees. So... I doubt it.
So far, this isn't much of anything.
Telegram already closes public channels reported for copyright violations.
Some excerpts from this post:
Compared to other platforms, we do not see the seriousness of Telegram to cooperate.
. . .
In May 2023, progress appeared to be going in the wrong direction. Telegram was reportedly refusing to cooperate with the Ministry of Communications and Digital on the basis it did not wish to participate in any form of politically-related censorship.
. . .
With no obviously public comment from Telegram on the matter, it’s hard to say how the social platform views its end of what appears to be an informal agreement.
Telegram will be acutely aware, however, that whatever it gives, others will demand too. That may ultimately limit Telegram’s response, whatever it may be, whenever it arrives – if it even arrives at all.
I'll just second the suggestion that KDE Plasma is worth a try, as it's very adaptable once you know what you want. You don't need to install any addons for the functionality you describe, just open the Shortcuts settings, KWin category, and have at it.
EDIT: I was thinking of a different distro than OP's
I think I know which distro you reference (are we keeping it a secret for good reason?). If it's the one I'm thinking of, I've also reached out to admins about toxic messaging in the forums, and the response was hostile, dismissive, and disappointing.
Unfortunately, despite being interested in some technical aspects of the distro, I doubt the sanity of some of the team, and don't want to deal with their hostility either.
Some of my favorites:
EDITS:
Since you ask (why not?), check the current top comment. I didn't know about it until today.
Many of us don't praise or want titlebars controlled by apps individually, and there are more reasons to keep them separate than just backward compatibility, FWIW.
But if you haven't checked it out lately, you may want to look at the MauiKit/Nitrux stuff.
A good live recovery distro that can mount bcachefs is one thing I've been waiting for before using that filesystem for a new install.
That this will have Arch tools (including arch-chroot, probably) makes this even better.
It's unmatched for some of the things it does and sites it supports, but I think it's a nightmare for any distro or package maintainer. It wants to manage its own installation and updates, at the user level, pulling in who knows what code or binaries.
I think that makes it mechanically hard to handle, verify, or trust.
Absolutely unaccountable. Is that different where you are?

Not quite a god but
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx
In Greek tradition, the sphinx is a treacherous and merciless being with the head of a woman, the haunches of a lion, and the wings of a bird. According to Greek myth, she challenges those who encounter her to answer a riddle, and kills and eats them when they fail to do so.
The word sphinx comes from the Greek Σφίγξ, associated by folk etymology with the verb σφίγγω (sphíngō), meaning "to squeeze", "to tighten up".
I made my account with them early on. I signed up to subscription content to eventually get around to reading, using that address. I signed up for other services, using that address, where access to that address was my only recovery option. I joined IRL community interest groups with that address.
Then I spent a long time without checking it, and they deactivated the account and I've lost all data and messages sent there.
And lost my discord account, too. Even though I have the correct discord credentials, discord decided to lock me out unless I can confirm I still have that tuta email address.

I will also miss:
Material Files?
The Power and Battery widget now responds to middle-clicks and scrolls: middle-click will block or re-enable automatic sleep and screen locking, and scrolling will change the active power profile
Scrolling on the battery applet is how I adjust my brightness. Is that no longer a thing?
APK/Alpine is great! And the Edge repos are well stocked.
Chimera Linux seems to be using even newer apktools than Alpine, not sure what the deal with that is. But that distro is still in early stages with limited repos for now.
Pacman/makepkg/Arch is great too, and an obvious consideration for your usage, curiously omitted from your post.
I just want to add that for Debian with a rolling, up-to-date experience, Siduction does that nicely.

TLDR: It happens (by default) for calls between you and someone in your contacts list, because it's a p2p connection. It can be avoided by disabling p2p calls.
The reason Telegram leaks a user’s IP addresses during a call is that, by default, Telegram uses a peer-to-peer connection between callers “for better quality and reduced latency,” Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told TechCrunch.
“The downside of this is that it necessitates that both sides know the IP address of the other (since it is a direct connection). Unlike on other messengers, calls from those who are not your contact list will be routed through Telegram’s servers to obscure that,” Vaughn said.
To avoid leaking your IP address, you have to go to Telegram’s Settings > Privacy and Security > Calls, and then select “Never” in the Peer-to-Peer menu, as shown below.
I'm not off Google Maps either, but the closest to replacing it for me is Organic Maps, FWIW.
I have trouble with both, but more experience with GIMP. I can't stand all the little tool buttons with no text. I want the name of each tool always visible on its button.
I have the same problem with Inkscape.
OK, I see some differences between your two screenshots, but what's the relevance to my comment?
ncspot is great, spotify-tui is another, and in the past I've had some success using mopidy-spotify and an mpd frontend (a discontinued but very cool one called Cantata).
Ooh I haven't seen this one. Anyone have a comment on this vs the KleverNotes project? I think that's the name.
Sublime Text, Google Photos, Google Maps (partially)
I'm a fan. This is where my library card lives.
As you said, it's super clean, no BS at all. In this crazy world, that's a rare pleasure.
Ok next time I won't use your computer.
I appreciate these brave words.
Sublime Text!
Glad you have it working. This may also work:
_stfu () {
shift words
(( CURRENT-=1 ))
_normal -P
}
compdef _stfu stfu
I don't think I saw Xournal++ (AKA Xournalpp) mentioned yet, which has helped me once or twice.
For Arch Linux:
I'm using the Firefox addon Redirector, and one of my rules there redirects community links using regex. I keep adding to the pattern as I encounter more instances. Currently it's:
Pattern: https://(lemdro\.id|lemmy\.run|beehaw\.org|lemmy\.ml|sh\.itjust\.works|lemmy\.fmhy\.ml|lemmy\.dbzer0\.com|lemmy\.world|sopuli\.xyz|lemmy\.kde\.social|lemmygrad\.ml|mander\.xyz|lemmy\.ca|zerobytes\.monster)/c/(.*)
Redirect to: https://programming.dev/c/$2@$1
The ones I can get things done with:
My current obsession:
Honorable mentions:
Ooh, thanks! I've used rbw successfully in the past.
No Zsh support for now, and maybe no user fonts?
And a warning: it's got telemetry on by default.
