Like whom? I certainly haven't seen any.

Sure would help their case if there actually was any evidence.

It can be completely blamed on Trump and the Republicans in general. The US Strategic National Stockpile was never replenished after the H1N1 outbreak of 2009 (consistently blocked by Republicans). Trump reacted poorly and slowly to COVID, didn't follow *any* of the federally approved pandemic playbooks or response plans, and actively pushed misinformation.

As if the US government has any actual say in the matter. I'm all for regulations and such, but an EO by Trump on AI has zero enforcement.

When there is factual data proving it was. Which there isn't any because it wasn't. But Republicans don't know any better because all Republicans are gullible and retarded.

Separately also true.

Your entire point about schools in the US is mitigated exactly because of the lack of both equality AND equity. Because of the lack of equality schools in the southern states suffered significantly leading also to a drastic drop in equity. Schools and students lack equity with each other from state to state, city to city, or even within the city. They tried to standardize the curriculum with Common Core (a stupid concept to begin with), but standardizing the curriculum doesn't standardize access to all the materials needed to accomplish it.

Everyone should have the opportunity to learn. Everyone should keep that opportunity even if they snubbed it earlier in life. Everyone should have access to all the materials they need.

Lol, what a complete load of utter nonsense. This is the what someone says when they have absolutely no real concept of equality or equity.

The only good Kennedy is a dead Kennedy.

Wrong, but also there is always VLC. For every OS.

Clearly, you're using the wrong distros.

ZFS isn't *that* great of a filesystem and is overkill for most users. It's great in enterprise setups managing large-scale storage and needing good data integrity - so, you know, servers. On a regular home PC? Ridiculous. If the computer only has one physical drive ZFS provides no benefit. If you don't have a lot of RAM, ZFS performance drops like a brick. In all of these situations, btrfs is way superior.

Technically, yes. Because the LLMs can search for context. Whether that context is good or not is a separate matter.

Wrong. That is just the "easy" and "safer" option they show to users. You can disable the entirety of the Windows Update service.

Incorrect. Proton is so much more than just this.

It's not a single point of failure, because there are many different versions of Proton released by different people/groups - Proton GE, Cachyos Proton, DW-Protin, Proton-EM...and more.

Exactly.

But "Oh no, they turned a setting on that doesn't hurt me or have any actual downsides and can be easily turned back off! Waaaah!"
That's all I'm hearing from these chucklefucks.

Then do not install any updates other than security updates. If you turned on automatic updates and get updated to 26H2, guess what, you requested it. If you manually install 26H2, guess what, you requested it. Get off your high horse.

Most people actually want equity when talking about equality. Most handicap laws are about equity not equality (which has nothing to do with racism or sexism). Equality means next to nothing when opportunities are not equal.

Doesn't even matter because so far, none of the state laws are actually enforceable and all of them are easily bypassed. For example, Colorado proposes age attestation for all computing devices. And that's never going to happen even if it's passed. The law cannot force Linux to abide by it, nor can they come after Linux. Governments can't even keep up with piracy and you think they are capable of enforcing this shit in a meaningful manner? Lmao, no.

The legislature doesn't understand anything about what they are writing or voting on. The billionaires pushing for these laws don't even understand what they are pushing for.
