Looks like a bug in the forum software. If it’s open source, look through their GitHub (or whatever) issues to see if it’s a known bug and see if anyone’s working on fixing it. Then wait for them to update their forum software and try again.

Edit: actually, this error indicates they’re not using parameter binding to build queries and aren’t even properly escaping input. Assume the database is already compromised and don’t sign up or post on this forum. Whomever is running it doesn’t know what they’re doing.

If you already signed up and you used a password that you use anywhere else, change it on any other websites that share the same password.

Or they could use a distro that’s already been created by a European vendor, maybe even create a competitive tender. There’s no point in creating a new distro, add a new repository if you must.

It was already a challenge back in those days. I ran the Nokia N9 for a while, and within a year it went from being amazing at messaging due to its messaging app mixing different XMPP providers in one interface (Google Talk, Facebook Messenger, SMS, etc in a single interface) to everyone in the industry suddenly giving up on that and only supporting in-app messaging.

There were valiant attempts to create open source versions of popular apps, but those efforts were always intentionally sabotaged by those providers.

Yeah, I’d rather the distro be as boring as possible while the exciting stuff happens upstream.

It’s a real shame that generally lefties don’t really care about or ‘get’ software freedom. You should be pushing for free software on all levels. In your personal life and in government. It’s crazy how much power a company like Apple, Microsoft or Google has over everyone.
