I read that Linux usage is much higher in India (I think ~13% vs 5% in the US, though the statistics are probably outdated). I am totally ignorant when it comes to India, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm wondering if the rise of Linux users has something to do with the government trying to limit access to Github.

Based on the other comments, they blocked the raw url.

I started messing with Linux to build a home server a few months ago. I am now fully in the Linux/FOSS cult, and as soon as I figure out how to either run Adobe on Linux or use the alternative software, I am nuking Windows on my personal computers. The bloatware is insufferable, not to mention shit like this.

Christianity, racism and corruption. Politicians love to target poor people, and prostitution is a job that often draws in the desperate. Conveniently, POC make up a large percentage of the impoverished population.

Sex trafficking is out of control in the US, yet it's never talked about by politicians. Even with Epstein, the focus was on how terrible he and his accomplices were, not on the actual problem. Not the thousands of other women and girls who are still being trafficked in the US. Legalizing prostitution is pretty much the only answer.

The headline leaves out the most important part. Ads aren't only being shown on porn sites, but they're also appearing on websites that are hosted by sanctioned countries (eg, Russia). If those websites are getting kickbacks from Google, that violates laws. The EU is already investigating it.

Sounds like a win for Tesla and SpaceX employees.

I wouldn't call any part of this innovative

As a problem-solver, it isn't only women.

That's the official term presented by the WH. The rest is correct.

We're almost out of the 4th quarter. Want to go through some corporate tax records to back up your talk?

That's up to Meta to figure out, but probably not. Obviously they ignored many legitimate reports if the problem has escalated this far. It's their responsibility to sift through user reports to find the valid ones, then take action.

I'm very confused about what OP considers customization. My only experience has been setting up my home server so far, so maybe I'll be compelled to do more "customizing" when I make the switch on my PCs.

Does installing a GUI on Ubuntu Server already break that rule? Or is it a success because it's only software? It's definitely not "out of the box".
