That's a good point, and I'll consider that.

Didn't we just get over the coin mining hype? I'm not too confident there won't be another big thing to keep this going...
Yeah, I get what you're saying and you absolutely shouldn't have to put up with stuff you're not okay with. That's the whole difficulty of free speech. You may have a right to be an asshole, but I have a right to not listen to assholes. And some of these places definitely have a lot of assholes, and do nothing to rein them in, then act surprised when no one wants to be associated with their space.
Disclaimer: I too can be an asshole at times, and I totally understand if people want to block me. That's the joy of freedom.
Yeah, I don't feel a need to block people who are behaving badly around me. Perhaps I would if I had been inundated like you were. That said, I fully support you, me, or anyone else doing what they have to to maintain perspective and mental health, and I'm glad there are tools to facilitate that even if I never feel the need to use them.
Here's your proposal in a nutshell. "Can we have the rich and powerful impose laws on the rich and powerful to reduce the benefits that will have for their children?" And even if we could do that, you completely ignore the option of them just hiring tutors to train their kids (which is already done by some).
Not saying your goals are bad, perhaps a little misguided, and rely on the people that would be negatively impacted (by their perception) to make it happen.
"Fires two random arrows, both to the linguist's heart. Imagine if he tried!"
Well, good thing this is memes and not science. Not saying I find it interesting or amusing, either, but its relevance doesn't have a bearing on its value.
There is nothing in 11 that I want that isn't already in 10, and what I need from Windows vs. Linux is approaching zero.
I got a message on my computer, Win10, saying my computer wasn't capable of being upgraded to Win11, but it would be protected by updates until October? 2025. Nice of them to give me a reminder to switch to Linux.
Certainly, at least as silly as having political views that only focus outward and not inward.
You're right, this post is about America, and I don't want to diminish what they've done. But if one wants to criticise, one opens thselves up to criticism. Glass houses and all that. In that vein, the OP seems to have a very limited set of topics, and if you remove criticisms of capitalism and America, he doesn't seem to have much to say at all. It makes you wonder if they have an agenda, or if they're even an actual person at all.
You can even do those things without raising the spectre of communism.
