Maybe that's the plan? Start a trade war that will inevitably lead to a real war? It sets a lot more precedent for the lean on all of the marshal law type powers he's chasing after.
I upvoted the post. I just meant to express my absolute lack of surprise at the situation or the news.
Yes, it's news and yes it should get attention, and lots of it! It's just not at all surprising that mega corporations want to protect the status quo that got them to where they are, whether we like it or not. Nor is it surprising that they will absolutely do everything they can to make us believe what they want us to believe. A few years ago that might have sounded super 'tin-foil-hatty' and this story might have been bigger news, but I'm not sure that's the case anymore.
In other SHOCKING news, the sky is blue.
Oh wow that's a great explanation, thank you! I have a bit of experience with Ubuntu and a fraction of that with Debian but absolutely no experience with any other Linux distro, so I appreciate your reply!
I run Ubuntu Server for my home lab and had a RaspberryPi running Debian for a short while as well but it was all CLI so I have almost no experience with the GUI. I was quite surprised to hear about pop ups for Ubuntu Pro.
I personally found setting up Debian for the Pi to be fairly straight forward and about as difficult as converting an old windows laptop into an Ubuntu Server..server, so they might have made Debian a bit easier to get up and running.
That being said I can't recall if I got that particular installation specifically for the Pi so that might have an impact there.
I genuinely appreciate your explanation! :)
Ahh so Mint is kept up to date like Ubuntu/Fedora and doesn't have all the telemetry and pop ups for Ubuntu Pro. Thank you!
So out of curiosity, why Mint over, say Debian? Has Debian added telemetry etc as well?
I think the problem arises when the embassy says it's fine to come, but then the traveling person's are detained or harassed once they arrive.
There's nothing I'm personally aware of stating trans persons to be outright illegal ( beyond the executive order(?) stating there are only two genders/sexes )
That's a good point! I hadn't considered that previously.
Oh I hadn't heard about that. Could you elaborate at all or point me in the direction of some more info?
I feel like to a point it might be, but to a point in today's age and internet - everything is an echo chamber so it's turned into a "pick ypur poison" kind of thing.
That being said, open discourse and actual conversation seems more prevalent and easier to come by here then on reddit which is very nice.
That's a very interesting tidbit. Good to know, thanks for sharing!
