Why not release them?

Theatrics.

Maybe MTG actually has some moral convictions that are leading to her breaking from the traditionalists on these issues

Other way around, she’s breaking up with the NRX/dark enlightenment faction (the technologists) as the traditionalists don’t want a surveillance state.

The goal seems to be oust Trump and replace him with JD Vance. I’ll cheer this administration eating itself alive, but I will also call out this “maybe they’re not so bad” complete horseshit narrative every time I see it.

This is absolutely what is happening, Trump is basically a figurehead who’s beholden to a bunch of people unlike in 2016.

Really all what Trump needs to do is to keep the AI bubble afloat until next year, if it crashes before then his administration is toast.

They didn’t, in their eyes all of this is “revenge” for for the 2020 riots and woke. That all being said, I do think the government is employing Strategy of Tension in order to make the masses screech for a surveillance state.

Agreed, it’s a bit of shame because I like the idea of GNOME but the execution and project priorities are just terrible.

LXQT is also good for people who want a Qt based enviroment but don’t like kwin.

*BSD is looking better and better.

Agreed in the long term, linux is becoming a mess imo.

Honestly not surprised, GNOME has been tying itself to systemD for years and this was inevtiable. Won’t be surprised if Void and other non-systemD distros take the same path.

It would be faster, but note that eMMC is the worst kind of solid state drive out there and you should replace it as soon as possible, or at least don’t store anything critical on it.

Good point.

Just mentioned SystemD in another post of mine.

In the case of GNOME they take their whole toolkit with them. Obviously you can switch DEs but it’s still sad and annoying to see. From 5 years ago but still holds up: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/horrible-gtk3-gnome-ui-design-is-leaking-into-ubuntu-mate-applications-in-20-04/22028/58.

Obviously not blatant money/data harvesting like with big tech companies, but corporate strong-arming has been done on Linux (systemD) and can be done again. Granted it’s much harder on Linux (in the case of my SystemD example there are distros like Void or Artix) but there is still a risk imo.

Take with a grain of salt because the steam hardware survey has historically had sample size issues.

Very nice to see, only worry is that Linux will get enshittified (primarily by the GNOME people).

Raspberry Pis these days are overpriced, a cheaper mini PC/old Optiplex will do fine.
