My man if you think the US government don't already know (or at a minimum could easily find out) your name, age, address & where you work if you're not a goat farming hermit in Tibet or something then I have bad news for you

Many places including Japan allow foreigners to register and bring a reasonable supply (3 months or so?) of most drugs that are illegal there but legal in their home country with a valid prescription (most of Europe and North America, Japan & Singapore all do), and the places that don't let you register them to bring them legally often let you bribe your way out even if you are discovered with them (eg Uzbekistan/Uganda/whatever)

I mean Azerbaijan have invaded Armenia proper in the past in skirmishes, but Armenia also invaded Azerbaijan and gained territory from it... They've also both committed genocide against each other, with the region in the news recently for Armenians being expelled/killed/leaving following Azerbaijan recapturing it only being majority Armenian due to the Azeris being expelled/killed/leaving in the 90s...
In reality it's a situation very similar to Israel/Palestine where regardless of how it started/what the "original" status of the land was, both sides are so overwhelmingly awful in their actions that there's no good guy, but of the four places mentioned only Palestine (Hamas really) has such a disdain for all people, even their own, that they stand out as worse than the others to me

It makes sense for Microsoft to support Linux though...
They tried their hardest to kill Linux under Steve Ballmer but now they're moving (or in reality have moved) to a model where Xbox and cloud are their main income-generating industries. The former is unrelated to Windows/Linux and the latter is frankly more dependant on Linux than it is on Windows - Microsoft have been supportive of Linux through Azure for years now and it doesn't exactly make sense for them to be developing two different operating systems, so it's not far fetched to imagine they'll drop DOS NT as a backend for windows entirely in the future and move to a Linux backend, with Windows just being a closed source DM with tracking etc added on.
This covers embrace & extend, but I don't think the extinguish part makes sense - sure they may add features the FOSS community disagree with, but at worst we're in a similar position to where we are now with things being released separately for Linux and Windows

The celts were actually just so good at genocide that they fully displaced the people before them in most places they live now...
Trying to find the "original owners" of anything is stupid as history doesn't go back that far, so as you say we just need to look at current residents
Issue is, currently Jews are being displaced from their homes to Israel and Palestinians are being displaced by them, so there's underlying issues that need to be solved first

Shellfish already beat us too it!!!
They've been enacting a conspiracy to release billions of tons of a metal so hazardous it explodes on contact with water into our oceans, and they've been at it for millions of years with nobody to stop them

Yeah it wouldn't be comparable to the genocides of Jews, Armenians, Ukrainians, Kazakhs etc. where it was mass extermination, but putting (almost) everyone from a country/culture in reeducation camps like the US did with the Japanese or China are with Uyghurs is still cultural genocide, no matter how careful you are about it or how noble the cause.
The fact that the scientists the US removed and most of the population no longer showed support for Nazism shows that the majority of problem people were the leaders and politicians, and people working for them or supporting them because they had few other options were just doing what they had to do to get by, just like how any class traitor (repo person, police etc.) isn't doing something admirable and in an ideal world they'd be doing something else for a less evil boss, but at the end of the day they have to live with the way society works.

It's a great bogeyman they can spend money going after because the people who they'll screw over (ie those who will lose their home if they start working as minimum wage is too low and support is only given to people who earn below a certain amount which is way too little) would never vote for them anyway

There's a difference between being a team player and a subservient pawn though - if the maintainer wanted to play as a team they would've suggested changes to the patch and accepted OP's PR. As it happens they didn't as they clearly have some sort of a power/superiority complex or something, or at best are dismissive of others to the detriment of the project they work on

Le Creuset pot - I got one for Christmas 2018 from my parents shortly after going to university and despite being used around 3 times a week since then with plenty of stews burnt onto the bottom it still looks like new

Same here, although I grew up in Cheshire & now live in London... Even within the cities, Labours local policies seem very copy paste when what people want in (eg.) Westminster is going to be different to what they want in Hounslow, which will be different to what people want in Dagenham.
Lib Dems seem to have a far better understanding of their constituencies/local areas than either of the major two parties (there are some good Labour MPs and slightly fewer good Tory MPs, but as a percentage they're way lower), eg what Tim Farron is up to now in parliament, every speech is standing up for his constituency rather than hiding away in a large party letting the frontbenchers do the talking.

I mean my mountain bikes run at a reccomended 50-80PSI, my road bike 60-120
I can also get up to about 40mph downhill on both (which should be a good indicator of rolling resistance/air resistance as it takes out the pedaling part), so that leads me to believe (given the rolling resistance info) that the actual biggest factor which makes the road bike so much easier to ride is weight (and gear ratios, but that's not relevant to e-bikes)
Meta exist to make a profit, however they're never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they're never going to be able to advertise *to* those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their content. Some here may rightfully have an issue with a corporation monetising their content, however by federating with the fediverse and being the first company able to monetise the content within it, Meta have a vested interest in *not* extinguishing the fediverse. Complain about their privacy violations or them monetising content they don't generate as much as you want, but remember they're smart & money hungry, and the smartest thing they can do in their position is to make money out of people they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
