globally all forum sites would just fold up because the UK has a stupid law

They can just block access from any UK based IP address and carry on as normal. Like many of them are doing already, including some Lemmy instances (although funnily enough, not lemmynsfw).

If you use your machine predominantly for gaming, Nobara is a good option. Built by the same people who made Proton (the tool to get Windows games working well on Linux). Comes with everything you need to get going out of the box. Based on Fedora so lots of community support. Comes with either KDE Plasma or GNOME to give you the desktop environment you prefer.

There's no absolute measure for "pollutedness". How do you compare something filled with plastic waste, something filled with human feces, something contaminated with industrial run off including PFAS?

  • Forced collectivisation of an entirely agrarian economy.

  • Industrial policy that encouraged small scale iron smelting in homemade furnaces causing huge environmental damage.

  • Agricultural policy that ordered the extermination of sparrows who then couldn't keep insect populations down causing catastrophic damage to crops.

  • Brutally cracked down on any dissenting voices, including scientists who happened to point out the potential flaws in Maos plan

  • Contrary to OPs post, covering up the mistakes afterward and blaming outside influences and counter-revolutionaries rather than the failure of central policy.
