Im pretty sure he takes criticism like this as a win.

Came here to say the same. Just subscribe and you can read it for free. Such a great news org.

They have also said before too that they’re not trying to make like snowden level privacy or something. To plan on doing illegal stuff coordinating with an email account you paid for by credit card is really foolish.

The problem is I can already here so many people I have spoken with in the past justifying this by saying he was a bad guy. So I don’t actually think ( other than people like me who just like to see the rules followed ) that this will play well for a lot of people.

I know there is lots of guides and things because for clicks people like to write guides. However all the defaults on mint are sensible. You can pretty much install is stock and be done. You can use these guides if you want but they are optional. You can use flatpak, .deb, snap or whatever else you want to install things. I tend to use .debs when available and flatpaks as my backup. As a Linux user I haven’t had to do all that much tweaking in years to be honest.

How do you avoid it?.. You are right there.

Oh a big problem!? Like what exactly? What are going to do against a group of people who laugh at the supreme court and dont follow court orders? All they can do is send a strongly worded letter and say “Shame shame”. We are already a dictatorship these other branches have no power other than for optics.
