Yep. That’s why I stopped distro hopping years ago.
Once set-up it just works™.

No die, is funni
Wait until you hear of a little state called Arkansas.
People in Egypt, Turkey, India, Philippine, etc, etc, etc die in 29.5°C heat? That’s news to me.
I love talking with kids in that phase. The raw curiosity and interest in the mundane is so refreshing.
Sometimes I feel like many adults hate to learn new stuff and even get offended by the idea. It’s heartbreaking seeing those interact with inquisitive children, when they answer honest curiosity with indifference or worse anger.
The “this would never happen to me” mindset really is cancer to logical thought and reasoning.
I somewhere read (maybe it was thinking fast and slow by Kahneman?) that even psychology students learning about certain behaviors would later anonymously claim they would never fall into these patterns. But plot twist: they are also only human, so of course they also could fall into these patterns.
Another example: People that think they would never fall for a scam. If it is the right scam they will fall even more easily for it than people that know that it could happen.
“Of course it can’t be a scam. Scams are obvious and only idiots fall for them.”
I needed to scroll way too much to see people mention marketing and advertising. It’s a huge deal.
The power of good advertising is not to be underestimated. There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it. And it’s not only traditional advertising but viral and “astroturfed” advertising.
Don’t change that! I need that feature for my workflow
I once moved ~5TB of research data over the internet. It took days and unfortunately it also turned out that the data was junk :/
And with crowd strike we have seen how reliable Antivirus is.
A few libraries come to mind immediately: fftw (I think the most widely used fft library) or GMP (I think the most used multi precision library).
The US has pretty good tap water in most places. Of course there are outliers we are talking about a giant country.
While you are right to trust most tap water in Europe we also have a lot of outliers. Old plumbing being probably the biggest problem. But also the taste can be atrocious. The worst tasting tap water I ever needed to drink was in Barcelona.
Edit: and the worst looking tap water I ever saw was in Paris. (It was old pipes or something as it was brown, almost red)
I watched it with my father. It was strange to see him also being deeply affected by it, not as if he would ever admit it.
It’s a great movie though. It’s so good at what it tries to archive that I also never want to see it again.

No, the EU does not force entities to provide Internet services for free.
You have the choice. Pay with your data or your money. I hate it too but what can you do?
If anything we have too many web standards.
At least 500 years old. Everybody else is just too damn infantile and stupid.
