Everybody wants to save the world. They just want it done their way.

Mint works pretty well! I’ve never been much of a power user so using its GUI (Cinnamon 'cause I failed miserably at running KDE) to update and install certain programs is pretty convenient.
Depends on the state. Several are banning 25 year old kei trucks so they wouldn’t outcompete Ford’s latest offering of gas guzzling $80,000 kid-crushing F-150s.
We desperately need smaller vehicles to counter the behemoth light trucks that are in the road today. Everything about these kei truck bans just scream corruption and incompetence from politicians to domestic auto manufacturers.
They’re likely the last group the C-suite listens to so it’s probably a good idea. Shame it won’t happen.
I’m willing to bet they’ll start adding telemetry features in RPiOS for “quality purposes” a few years from now.

I heard this same argument from people all the time. Until it affects you in a meaningful way to change your mind, it’ll be too late.
The surveillance would be a double edged sword. If they were to be hacked, all sensitive information that was going through their PCs could be compromised.
Oh good another reason to wear face masks in this hellish cyberpunk dystopia. Imagine suffering the equivalent of credit card fraud because someone took a photo of you in public.
Great. Now do Xenogears next.
At first glance he looks like one of those smaller deformed titans.
It’s the Chinese government. Not the common Chinese people. I have no problem with ordinary folks trying to live out their lives with friends and family. I do take issue with the CCP using its military to bully fishermen in the South China sea and fucking over the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Taiwanese.
Used for ritualistic purposes no doubt.
I’m American and I find it kind of creepy.
I don’t think it would be okay. Are you happy with almost all American media being controlled by a handful of mega corporations who are beholden to US hegemonic interests?
Japan, while being no stranger to political assassinations, was nowhere near as bad as the state Mexico’s in.
To play devil’s advocate here, I think it’s necessary for a social media platform to exist that’s outside the control of the US government. Just because we have the first amendment here that doesn’t mean our speech is protected, just look at what happens when protesters do it the “wrong” way.
Does that mean China gives a shit about our freedoms? No. They just won’t be forced into censoring things the US would want though, and the gap between their opposing hegemonic ambitions is where people can truly say what they want about the US in certain topics. While it’s true the CCP is data mining American citizens, their reach to compromise individuals is dwarfed by what US companies can do already.
I recommend Linux Mint. It’s very beginner friendly and you don’t need to use the console too much if that kind of thing bothers you. The GUI even looks very similar to a Windows 10 environment.
