I want it for a computer that can't take Win11, but is perfectly usable hardware otehrwise. My plan is to convert it to a dedicated Steam game machine and have the SteamOS features included, and I'd rather it be actual SteamOS with Arch instead of Bazzite (on Fedora) or something else similar that's more likely to get abandoned by the maintainers down the road.

I've seen enough of your posts to know you're an America Hating, Constitution Hating Inbred Cunt, "RigntwingNutJob" you Neonazi Shitbag.

The bigger problem is the number of old devices lying around with a ton of open vulnerabilities. Full disclosure to users of the EOL date, and preferably legislation that manufacturers HAVE to provide security updates for compromise vectors, would be a better set of fixes.

You're an Inbred Dumb Fucking Traitor to America, RightWingTreasonTrashBitchCuntbag.

Not what they did. You're a Lying Constitution Hating Cunt, RightWingTreasonShitbag.

Well, you Klansucking Sisterhumping America Hating ReCUNTlicans already packed the court to try to destroy our Constitutional rights. So I reject your claim that speaking out on matters of public importance as an equal citizen is "corporate sabotage," you neonazi inbred bitchtrash.

We used to call them griefers. Now they pretend to have meaning.

" dismantle the apparatus"

"also giving Trump a powerful tool "

I see what you did there...

And the Congressional comeuppance to Trump was to let the intelligence framework they have used since 2015 lapse.

They sure took him to the woodshed, huh?

If probably will get put back. They can't let go of the keys to all that data. And you know how they will use it.

EU should just order META split up as an illegal garbage monopoly.

If you haven't figured out that 'the peasants' pay for everything, you're just not figuring anything out. Blaming is not understanding.

'We' pay for everything.

The serious projects like covering the desert, or canals, which seem really, really clever. It all depends on what they're covering. I guess sometimes not very nice to what they're covering. But it's really about choices. Responsible choices are going to be okay. I'm reminded though that there is no criticism of any power generation method that won't burn you, the scorn and ridicule and dismissal and rejection somehow. Doesn't mean anybody's right or wrong. Oh wait it does.

If it were just about the money, then nuclear would not be very attractive.

But it's the environment, stupid. Compared to fossil fuels, nuclear is an attractive option, cost be damned. Hydro is not without detriment. Solar uses space. Wind is going to be seen as a loser in so many ways, but it is a stepping stone.

Nuclear is the best option, and SMR among other technologies will improve the option.

ps - Previous comment about desalination in higher latitudes might, I think, miss the basic equation. Fresh water is more readily available at higher latitudes than lower, until you get into the ice. Nuclear powering desalination in Southern California, yes. Alaska? Dude?

Stop paying for it.

Well, we know who has lost the argument...
