Fear mongering is an interesting thing. You have people who call articles about COVID or climate change fear mongering. Then you have other people who called the NO campaign fear mongering. And there seems to be zero overlap between those 2 groups.

It is not a few bad apples. The police and military are fundamentally bad as set up in most places and the US especially. There are awful people who are celebrated war heroes and highly decorated who've followed US law and military regulations their entire career but are still war criminals by the standards of international law. There are countless vice and drug squad police and agents who've never committed a corrupt act by the standards of their agency and yet they have been nothing but a disaster for the communities they operate in. ACAB. Military too.

US police and military are the absolute fucking pits and you never know how an interaction will go. Maybe great dudes who will slap you on the back. Maybe they'll kill you and then the government will kill people who question that.

Freedom of speech is limited everywhere. Banning Nazi salutes isn't one of the bad limitations. I'm so glad Justin Trudeau banned it in Australia.

I used this month's installer and saw a couple things I hadn't noticed in last month's version. First, where previously I'd used, systemd-boot, now there's a default choice of grub which I haven't used in years and limine which I'd never heard of. Also, the installer picked up my Yubikey as an HSM token.

I think he's all about opening floodgates just for the chaos it creates. So long as they don't expose his personal corruption, why not?

I work in government and spend all day remoting into judges', prison officers', and social workers' PCs. The most sensitive material you can imagine and all of it on windows.

Why do you guess that?

The idea isn't new or obscure but there is an academic source. Have you never heard of alt-right idiots complaining about soy boys? You know they are referring to men who have been emasculated because of aversion to meat and consumption of estrogen-like soy products?

The number 0 still exists. The chart does show arbitrary values higher and lower than the line. Choosing a lower limit other than 0 is a dishonest choice. It's the first lesson I taught kids about when I touched on media literacy. Ask yourself why the author chose the mode they used and any arbitrary choices they made.
