Agreed. Shifting the burden of reading endless legal documents to users is intolerable and ridiculous. Maybe we need a public authority to analyze corporate policies and release simple statements like: "This corporation's policy is good because X, but it's bad because Y". I don't know if that would be the best solution, but one thing is for sure: the whole big-ass "terms & conditions" and "privacy policy" system is a farce bordering on legalized fraud, and it must end.

How's the performance of the hidden TCP/IP stack with full memory access? I don't want no Internet slowdowns while all my private data is being sent to the mothership.

No: you miss the point, completely. The fact he was voted by tens of millions is the problem. That problem doesn't go away if a few more voted differently, and it doesn't go away with a new and better president.

The rest of the world realizes that Trump is just one man

Voted by tens of millions...

Indeed. This used to be a place for nerds. Now it looks like a bunch of underachievers lacking reading comprehension skills.

so here's a well-deserved comment for you:

I bet it was an assertion (and one doomed to fail).

Right now, on my Debian box, in ~root/ is a script called thanks-systemd.sh

I heartily recommend Devuan.

Yet I can't help wondering how much of it is really just people who resist change because they don't want to learn something new.

Personally, I refused systemd after learning it. So there's that too.

It may be worth mentioning that even back when record companies first started selling actual vinyl record albums, those sales were never the primary revenue source for the artists themselves

Record sales were a big slice of every famous, or even semi-famous, recording artist's income. If they were the primary revenue source or not, that varied from one musician or band to another. But they always were a big part. And I can assure you this is not hearsay.

spend the money on environmental care or even asteroid diversion missions

I agree on this part, but have you ever heard the good bit of advice about not putting all your eggs in one basket?

it is solely about them being not able to afford it, end of story, done and finished.

Google is one of the richest companies in the world, but you justify their profiting from copyright infringement because they can't afford operating withing the law? Since when is that a valid excuse?

Also, why should the content owners waste their time searching and reporting? So Google can cut their costs and hire less people?

Are you a Google shill or are you being dumb for free?

Would it have hurt to include this?

The Linux x32 ABI as a reminder requires x86_64 processors and is engineered to support the modern x86_64 features but with using 32-bit pointers rather than
64-bit pointers.

It would have required decent editors.

It's clear to me that Wayland is the future, but until app remoting is a part of the package as it were, I'm not at all interested.

Me neither, but they would need to make it usable over WiFi. And do it 15 years ago.

And they had better keep things like middle-click paste.

But also fix the horrible mess that inter-application copy & paste is on X11. The Mac got it perfectly right in 1984.

So the same as any Linux distro

No.
