Then we shouldn’t call them JRPGs.

These laws are intentionally toothless. Google will eat the fines and the feds can pretend they won something.

Nothing will change until we start imprisoning executives who break the law.

The carriers refused to do it one their own so Google had to provide the servers themselves. Apple could do the same, but we all know they won’t and never will. If it wasn’t this excuse it would be another one.

We cannot allow another country to pretend they have jurisdiction in North America, that’s beyond unacceptable. These enforcers absolutely need to be arrested and deported.

China won’t do shit. They are just as dependent on the US/Canada, if not moreso at this point. If we allow this to continue we are essentially surrendering our sovereignty to them, while allowing them to harass and threaten our taxpayers. That is pure cowardice.

Debian is more bare bones then Ubuntu, that’s why. Ubuntu comes with a lot of packages already installed by default. In Debian you have to install a lot of that stuff manually. You might also have to edit some configs for example. It’s not that hard, but maybe a little too much for a beginner.

I upgraded Debian to 12 last night, which required manually updating the source.list for the apt repos for example. It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure Ubuntu gives you a UI for upgrades? Upgrading Debian was simple for a techie who’s played around in Linux already, but it could be more intimidating for a newbie.

Depends on your distro and what’s available in the repo. With default repos you’re more trusting the distro developer to vet packages.

I trust debian for that. It’s been a while since I used Ubuntu so I don’t remember how their repos are set up but the debian team is notoriously conservative with their repos.
