Distro isn't important, for a novice user the defference, basically, is what software is in the official repository, and how easy it is to google shit. Unless you chose something very obscure somehow, you'll be fine.

China, seriously?

That's my point, I don't believe blogposts paint the whole picture.

I call bullshit. They might say they're opt-in, I bet they have some way to use the personal data that technically doesn't violate very specific wording of the rule.

If you need food to feed children, you find a job. If you decide to become mercenary in an unjust war, to go kill other people's children, you lose the privilege of having this excuse.

I consider "but I need money" not a good excuse for deciding to go murder countless number of people. I can absolutely sympathise with being very poor russian with no real hopes for social mobility, hell I've been one most of my life. What I can not excuse is the decision to go kill someone for a chance to escape it. I could not aggree with that in the 90th, when people were killing each other on the streets for money, I can't agree with it now.
Those poor sods who received a mobilisation order and decided to go - well, the fine for refusing that is 3k rubles (~30 bucks). They were forced with a fine of $30 and decided that going to another country to kill people is a preferred action.
The only people who aren't there willingly and knowingly, are the conscripts who were forced to sign the contract under the violence, and chronical alcoholics who lost the free will long ago. This is a very shitty situation, but the state of the army isn't exactly great, those people have both opportunities and moral obligation to run away.

This is a bit of a different situation. This is an emperialist war, and Ukrainian side fights for the fundamental right to exist, and Russian side fights for their selfish interests and to kill people.
A big portion of people on Russian side are there willingly, they made a choice knowing full well all the consequences, and had multiple opportunities to make another, morally and materially correct decision, but didn't.

And a bunch of people didn't but we don't talk about them, it was the norm back then.

That you know of

on things that actually happend.

The thing you're saying didn't happen literally happen, what are you talking about?

Shit like that needs to be stopped while it's just someone's wild wet dreams. When it will become solid plans with budget and deadlines, it will already be too late

In 1935. By 1940 everyone who was able to say that was already not in a position to say anything. US is just at the beginning of the journey.
