The thing we learned is “correlation doesn’t necessarily imply causation”.

Distro isn’t important, for a novice user the defference, basically, is what software is in the official repository, and how easy it is to google shit. Unless you chose something very obscure somehow, you’ll be fine.

China, seriously?

Bewahren?

That’s my point, I don’t believe blogposts paint the whole picture.

I call bullshit. They might say they’re opt-in, I bet they have some way to use the personal data that technically doesn’t violate very specific wording of the rule.

The company are designers and engineers, not factory workers, they don’t have staff in Taiwan, they put their orders there. Unless they move all the people, thry can’t really move that easily.

Do you actually have something to say?

Or Canadian. Since they have quite a passionate investor there already

No, I just assume you aren’t eating humans. Because it’s the only way we can continue this conversation.

I don’t think it means what you think it means.

It is. You’re already doing it, otherwise you will be having zero problems with killing and eating random humans. You just put your line at believing that humans have agency, even though you just as much can’t prove that.
We have pretty good understanding of how biological organisms operate at this point. We don’t need to spend generations on disproving solipsism anymore.
