>"I don't see any crimes here"
Then you need to educate yourself. It is pretty clearly a crime to vandalize property. And it is also a crime in many jurisdictions to set off fireworks. It is where I live. And directing them at people is clearly makes them a weapon.
And then there is the shooting (not these defendants) in which an officer (who was, unarmed, not that it matters) in the neck is beyond reason. It was a charge of attempted murder.
Have you gotten any other facts wrong?
When people are too stupid to figure out something with some effort, basic effort, I don't care. I gave up years ago, either your trying to be an incompetent idiot, or, you're special needs.
Which makes you like the IT guy supporting a store we bought a few years back. Everyone in the store wanted to light him on fire. The first visit, I could have literally punched an employee in the face and the would have liked me more than they liked him.
Which is to say, he doesn't work for us any more.
Welcome to grown up land, where "I don't care" means "I'd rather collect unemployment."
It very much does matter. If you and/or your recipient are careless, that doesn't somehow make the technology useless.
This is like saying secrets don't matter because somebody will eventually leak them anyways.
But yeah, regardless of one's opinion of Meta, this makes perfect sense. I'd have done the same thing. It's like that stadium that wouldn't let someone in because they kept suing the venue.
Does it hold on to those notifications after they're dismissed, never to be seen again? If so, I'd consider that to be a bug.
Just sayin.
Then one day we had cameras and telescopes that could identify a tiny shift in the location of a distant star as the moon eclipsed the sun, making the tiny star visible. A new test proving a new theory under which the baffling movement of Mercury made perfect sense. Before van Leeuwenhoek, medicine was not hampered by the limits of our understanding, but the limits of our eyes, and thus the limits of our experiments.
If we don't understand it, it is because we haven't figured out how to perform the necessary experiments.
Darn, I thought for sure you'd trigger Godwin's Law. Alas, next time!
Go talk to Gen Z, they will tell you themselves. Boomers, Gen X and Millenials set them up for failure, destroyed their history and institutions, and bascially screwed them over every way you can imagine. They are returning to things that existed before this petty generation and will exist long after it - faith, family, the dignity of work and home life. Reality has made them immune to the woke mind-virus.

And while plasma is generally decent, it suffers from the same awful system controls as the rest. Not better than the new Windows settings, far worse than the classic Control Panel. I suspect that is because the design ethos is still has, at its heart, "well, just open a terminal and type nano
And so far, I've hated all the file managers. Nautilus? Garbage. Thunar? Crap. Dolphin? Worthless. Double Commander? Twice the uselessness. Krusader looks like it might be worth trying, but it's not what you get by default in any distro I've used.
And that's another problem. I don't want to hear about how customizable a desktop is, I have other things to do. The typical end user won't understand how to do it, and if they try, they will be paralyzed by the paradox of choice (I know what I'm doing and don't want to wade through it all, they'll throw up and run away). In a government setting, they won't even have that option, it'll be the preferences of someone in IT.
And I like Linux. I want to use it more and like it more. But damn, it is f-ing ugly.
