I think they mean you should write a will because CIA or US border security will kill you for going there.

"Our officers are following the law, not agendas."

Laws are written by politicians, who have political agendas; therefore, following the law is following a political agenda.

"Trump approved the bombing campaign in early 2024"

Biden was secretly Trump in a skinsuit? I knew it!

It's entirely possible to mitigate both drought and flood, both hot and cold. It just takes more effort so most governments (and even individuals) don't bother.

I actually do think Putin would assassinate Zelensky if that would accomplish anything for him, and that he doesn't want the war to end before he's secured everything of relevance in the Ukraine. However, he doesn't actually stand to gain anything from Zelensky's death, as the man is a replaceable figurehead and has gotten in the way (of fascist factions) more than his potential replacements might.

i only skimmed and didn't really take this seriously because it seems full of buzzwords with no substance

It's the paradox of wanting Linux to be widely supported but not wanting it to become a walled garden experience. The average consumer is not keen on "different" and "complex" and designing all of Linux around the preferences of those average consumers would mean sacrificing the advanced features and customisation power users enjoy.

Arch is not dumb shit and recommending it to beginners is fine if they are curious and want to learn about stuff.

Recommending Arch to people who just want a working machine is silly, and stuff like Gentoo is kind of dumb shit.

But if you want a simple "it just works" distro you should probably be using Mint or Pop! or similar, and avoiding trying to do anything unnecessarily advanced unless you are cool with reading manuals and so on.

It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be good enough that the U.S. fail to penetrate it.

And I'd instead argue that hoping for a perfect defense is more reasonable than hoping for Americans to do the right, or even sensible, thing.

I'm aware that that is the realistic concern, but if we're talking about hopes I'd prefer the less realistic, no-casualty scenario that would prove a point.

Serial murderer-rapists tend to be staunch American allies.
