is it counting android as linux?

if so, it shouldn't be, imo. android is deployed and used differently than Linux and is not really the same in spirit. if you can't have root, I'd not count it as Linux for the purposes of something like this.

UDP hole punching could be regarded as a clever "hack"

it's amazing that you've been downvoted for saying you pay for a service you use that's not ad-riddled junk. how else do people expect these entities to make money that pays for servers, employees, etc.? someone operates the hardware and it's not free.

a literal child may not have the capacity to learn from the interaction, yet. maybe other people reading it will, though.

Funtoo is a bit of both. It's not as current as Gentoo but the tradeoff is not having to rebuild the toolchain every few weeks.

another tool is taxation. example: single use plastics are a bad thing and we don't need them in most of the ways they're used. taxing them will make them economically untenable and companies will look for alternatives.

your statement is highly dependent on where someone lives. I wonder what percent of people live within about ten minutes' walking distance from useful public transportation. I bet it's not 90% or even anywhere close. most people on Earth do live in cities now though, so maybe it's ~50%...?

right but if you keep participating in broken systems you'll just perpetuate them. gotta find ways out and take them... or make them.

that's not necessarily what it means. some things legitimately are easier to explain in person. ever try working out a complicated mathematical argument in an email? one can do it, but it's not pretty. in person you can write on paper, draw figures, etc., synchronously with your compatriot observing and even participating. it's not merely a change of medium from text to sound.

I don't read formality in these either, fwiw. in fact they're generally pretty casual.

ah, okay. so in your experience, it has never worked right with KDE on your computer.

am not personally experiencing the problem you describe, but: have you verified the strange behavior isn't somehow related to your kernel? most people aren't using linux-6.4.x yet. sometimes bugs or intentional changes that break userspace software are introduced. if you haven't done so: I'd test it with the kernel you were using when it last worked.
