They said that the pictures were deleted last time, and we found out later that they weren't. Why would we trust them a second time when they violated our trust the first time?
I used to use gnome, but I moved to XFCE when switching to Artix last year. I must say I think I like it better. I still get to use a convenient desktop that looks GNOME-ish, uses GTK, has a bunch of theme options, and is a lot more lightweight than GNOME without requiring systemd. It seems like the best of possible worlds at present, although I've wanted to try out a tiling window manager like dwm for fun. I'm not sure I'd be able to get used to/comfortable with using one as a daily driver though.
It's already the case that banks don't allow their apps to be used on rooted phones. I can imagine a similar possibility for desktop computers. A dreadful possibility, but a possibility nonetheless.
Practically speaking, people already have cell phones that are impossible to own, because in many cases, users are not allowed to unlock the bootloaders of their phones.
What about distros that don't use automated account creation (or have optional automation), like Arch for example or Gentoo? The law isn't made to accommodate those people:
"Provide an accessible interface at account setup that requires an account holder to indicate the birth date, age, or both, of the user of that device for the purpose of providing a signal regarding the user’s age bracket to applications available in a covered application store."
The odd thing is the wording that it "requires" an account holder to indicate age or DOB. As with anything *nix, there is always a workaround. There is no way to require anything of the user. There's also no definition for "accessible interface."
The fact that they destroyed the books is the most reprehensible thing to me. They could have resold or donated those books to libraries. Instead, they chose the ugliest and most wasteful thing they could possibly do. Despicable.
Read the federal complaint against Peter Stokes. Microsoft has a record of the URLs.

Fuck no.
TBH this is the most rational take I've seen. If I had 10 upvotes, I'd give them to you
Don't give them ideas.
Thanks for this post. Saving it in case I ever need it.
So apparently tops aren't gay?

Can you say why you wouldn't be caught dead using GNOME?
They look grey to me tbh.
They'd have to. It would be the only way to make the changes uniform across distros. And of course, we could always use the unmodified version.
Me, using 8 bit adders to make my own CPU because everything else is now locked down to all hell

That's my guess. These people have no clue what they're doing.
Technically, Linux is not an operating system, just a kernel, so I'm not sure how this would be implemented.
Well you don't "scan" a book that's already digital.

Or you could .... Delete Windows too. Or only run it in a VM.
