Politics is about influencing other people

No and you prove the parent post right. Politics is the matter of the city (or in this case, the matters of the company/office).
Influencing people is a side product of having to reach an agreement between parties, and if you successfully influence the right people, more shit gets done.

Yeah. I don't like snap but like, that's not new and always been part of their plan. Bit weird to say the lost the plot now

What makes you say that? In the post apart from the usual snap bs, it all seems pretty standard and good. Not even a single AI mention.

I don't use my laptops for gaming, only casual web browsing and the occasional 3d print or code script.
I have used fedora in the past but a failed update broke it, so I'm using cachyos now.
The only issue I had with the laptop, is that it's recognized as a 2-in-1 and sometimes would switch to the tablet mode which disabled the keyboard. Either I found how to disable it or cachy doesn't have the issue.

Plus won't the forks on GitHub keep the history before the "reset"?
Afaik, forks on GitHub are basically the same underlying repository, just a branch associated with another user. They won't be able to really purge anything from these other branches.
Plus anyone who has a local copy of the repo or an automatic mirror somewhere else, will have the changes available.

Weren't there native tribes living on the continent before the us was created?
But yeah, the land here has been inhabited for a long time. There's a major Paleolithic site near where I live.
Seems Europe as a whole also has a distribution of small and large countries, even though the us has more of them and more land

It got a bit more homogeneous after Walloon and dutch dialects were removed in favor of Paris french (while Flemish stayed a bit more different than Dutch but officially it's NL Dutch).

For the sub-cultures hub in the USA yeah, there's a lot of them, a direct result of the colonisation of the continent. But I think what most Europeans compare against is the exported American culture (from movies, music and whatever fads start there), which is pretty homogeneous (ie, mostly capitalist and individualist) but doesn't really reflect the variety you can find "on the ground".
Tbf, the Walloon settlement in the US (Namur, Wisconsin) is pretty small, I couldn't find exact numbers but seems to have a population of a thousand, and the Walloon language is disappearing

Belgium. The current country was founded in 1830. We have Wallonia and Flanders who speak different languages, each province has or had its own dialect but it has merged mainly into french and dutch, with a bit of German in the east. The country itself is probably smaller than any us state, but I don't know all the sizes of them.
Funnily enough, there is a small town in the US with Belgian immigrants that still speak older dialects of Walloon.

Less than 200 years old. And we have 3 languages, a huge cultural divide between the north and south, and more diversity in our provinces than in between us states.
