For the unsupported home Linux user, non-System-D variants of Linux are less "friendly" than, say Ubuntu/Ubuntu-Mate . What home-lusr will install something of Dvuan-level difficulty when he/she can barely keep post-modern Ubuntu running ... just to avoid semi-invisible System-D ? Do not kid yourself .. for the non-pro casual lusr modern Linux is a royal bitch to admin ... under the best of circumstances. Think you can just burn a new LIVE-usb or add a new SSD / WiFi port; think again! If it were not for free GOOGLE.ai support I could not use Linux W/WO system-D.

Obviously SLASHDOT modsters have never been 1st-year grad students in a bio-science. Chromic-acid baths are a wonderful way to learn DNA --> RNA --> protein .

Best to assume electro-tek is compromised ... especially CCP-enabled products ... and act accordingly. Assume that every use of an electronics product ... from full-tower desktop to IoT-light-bulb is the equivalent of walking down a Detroit alley during "devils-night". Even safer is of-course to refrain from buying ANY product made in China. I believe CCP has even installed secret-transmitters in their hand-tools and bat-wing snacks.

You wanted cheap Chinese electronic products? Ha Ha ... your personal data has become the cheap CCP-enabled product.

Polymarket ... it's just gambling folks. Done alone, on a tiny squint-screen while you're taking a crap. Why waste your entertainment monies ? Instead goto Vegas where the pros really know how to put on a show. Save your pennies. Show the best-gal a great time; rent a tux for a couple days. Travel ( train anybody?) and Vegas hotels are cheap. For the $3/4-hundred dollar loss at blackjack and craps you get all the sparkle/skin/talent you could imagine. Perhaps Macao and Monaco are better ... if you have the cash, make the dash. But, low-ball Polymarket ...?

Nice point. Loss of USA-based control is significant. A surprise to me that our government did not treat the BD sale like the toxic Chinese attempt to buy CRUCIAL.

Seems very pracical to me. Like forbidding 3-rd graders learning multiplication from using an electronic calculator. Should also raise the issue of "de-skilling" for adults. The 1st industrial revolution was NOT a pure-positive good. Even now, anyone who can afford to pay for "craft" / hand-made products does so with a smile. A smaller number of people with modest means just save/pay-cash for guild-work quality clothing & furniture.

The definition of a "desirable" action is ... that it's addictive. Holds for sex ... holds for walking ... holds for eating ice-creame ... Undesirable actions repulse us; they are not addictive. Think watching Maxine Waters ... vomitus! Thus: better choose something other than a Jansenist meme.

For a second I thought you were spewing collectivist crap, but I see you just mistyped a word.

"Decent people will realize that from those to whom much is given, much is expected." Communists/collectivists/Fascists expect this state appropriation of value ... American yeomanry of all incomes have rejected it as tyrannous. The assumption is that personal monies are earned by productive labor, not given. Trust-fund babies can be treated as an edge-case.

Yep ... the peon/progressive green-eye envy doesn't just talk ... it swears ! Financial "betters" best move to Reno, Boise or Salt Lake and build a culture more attuned to productive values. Despite its great physical beauty, a political culture of Waters, Bass & Rivas will collapse and drag all with them .

" For us, the consumers, it's like someone giving you free money." No. It's like some thief stealing your future IP ! In a stable culture, yeomanry make what they use; then iterate. Guilds flourish. Only raw materials are imported. Merchantile/arbitrage cultures fester as toxic rent-seeking cesspits. A trader elite dominate peon masses.
