No worries, I'll edit it to try to make it more clear.

Just to clarify, this isn't a normal toothless petition, this is an official EU mechanism that allows citizens to bring problems to the attention of the European Commission, and force them to pass judgement on it legally. You can read more about it here.

It's good to be skeptical of anything asking for that personal info, but I'd suggest researching into it to confirm that it is indeed legit.

Thank you for signing the UK one :)

Already included at the bottom of the text body of the post (though it's to the StopKillingGames page on it, I'll swap it to the direct link)

I suspect they would've brushed it off regardless, they didn't want to deal with it. There's another 100k UK petition (The one linked to at the bottom of the OP text) that would force them to re-look at it with more depth which is also ending quite soon.

That sounds like a solid solution!

Since that video was posted, there's actually been a swell of support thanks to some big youtubers making videos about it. It's already gotten 100k signatures in 2 days, so all hope may not be lost!

One possibility is using it exclusively to access its grammatik grammer checker as a non-AI and non-subscription based alternative to ProWritingAid or Grammarly.

More info here.

Otherwise, it's still genuinely a solid option for those who want to do word processing in a terminal, which is a niche use case, but some people are into that. Perhaps as a distraction free writing environment.
