Dave wants to wear a dress to school. Donald doesn't like it because he thinks only girls should wear dresses. Dave says he's a girl, too. Dave says she wants to be called Samantha. Other girls are perfectly happy with Samantha wearing a dress and playing with them, until Samantha chooses a doll which Marjorie wanted to play with. Angry that she can't play with her doll, Marjorie tells Donald Samantha is bad. Donald says; "See? I told you it was bad!" Meanwhile Kevin stole the doll Jocelyn was playing with and started kicking it around the schoolyard, breaking it as he does. Donald says "Dave caused that!" And half the other boys agree with him. Now Samantha gets sent home from school by the teacher for fighting with Donald, while Samantha had done nothing but wear a dress and play with dolls. Neither Dave in boy clothes, nor Samantha in girl clothes show up at school the next day. Donald keeps shouting that kids like Dave are the problem. Marjorie agrees with him. Kevin destroys another doll, but they're fine with that because he's not wearing a dress.

What an absolute loon that woman is. What a hateful article to write out without mentioning the woman's obvious victim complex. What an islamophobic report. What bad journalism.

Of course it fell apart. All these people do is lie, cheat, steal, and so on...

This includes the cis, does it? THIS INCLUDES THE CIS, DOES IT?? DOES IT??? Because it should include that boob job, those hair implants, and what-have you.

Social rules are made up by neurotypicals. I never signed a contract to be governed by them.

Right, because UEFI is open sourced and can be checked by anyone. Oh, wait, no, that's why Libreboot is a thing: https://libreboot.org/ I will agree that TrustedComputingGroup and the way they use TPM have a more open standard, but I still don't trust some of the companies behind it. Especially Microsoft, who have completely lost the plot with recent Windows versions. There is definitely a reason to be wary of it, as cryptographer Ross Anderson is quoted here on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computing#Criticism Software Piracy is a direct answer to greedy publishers who burn out developers and force them to make crapware which they then force DRM on so people can't play it even if they own the original release. Better people than me have written about how awful DRM is in games. See https://www.gog.com/blog/what-exactly-is-drm-in-video-games-and-why-should-you-care/ or https://expertbeacon.com/why-is-drm-bad-for-gaming/ for exaples. DRM is bad for game preservation purposes or simply to allow someone to install and reinstall the game they own several times. Better people than me have written out about the various issues which DRM caused in the past, most notably safedisc and securom which were well-reported upon. It does not belong in gaming. I can explain a lot, and can attribute a lot to stupidity and greed on either side of the argument. It's not FUD when it's a slow crawl to further enshittification and overzealous identification and exclusion of individual users and systems while giving false reasons for why we should put up with it.

A new distro is built upon the concept of stackages, but dies silently not half a year later. Hardliners still use it for years after but nobody wants to maintain it.

It's absolutely fine to put your pirate hat on when they do this kind of thing.

It's just a slow locking down to stay in control... We just need to all shift to proper #Linux phones instead of linux-by-google. Could be nice to see some European moves there. There are plenty of good developers within the EU. The biggest issues would be in funding that development and to market it properly to artificially kickstart adoption of such a platform. There are already phones made in Europe; Fairphone is Dutch, I think?

How about no? The whole proposal looks shady. Where Microsoft says "trust", I do not.
