the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) now considers unreliable, even though getting one requires providing proof of citizenship or lawful status in the country.

Translation: they found people they don't like that have these, so argue must be flawed.

Indeed. Also, tried this when I saw it and was surprised that, not only did the Terminal app show up first, but I saw no ads in the start menu at all. Turns out the settings I set on my Windows 11 partition back in 2022 are still there, and I just don't see stuff like this.

Like yes, I prefer Linux and wish Windows 11 didn't have so much crap like this, but... It's so easy to turn most of it off and move on. Changed them once when I set up this machine and haven't touched them since. Maybe I'm lucky, but I never had an update change back settings, either.

These companies need to be held accountable. Checking a box should not mean tech companies get away with anything.

And men watching these influencers conclude that… other people will appreciate that?

Nah, they think other people should appreciate that. Because that would make their lives easier, not having to challenge their own privileges.

Calm, perhaps?

Are we sure this person is real lol? All those photos look different and they all look like they could be generated.
