You can use windows 11 without TPM. It's just not made easy for casual users.
I know this is linuxmemes and that this will be an unpopular opinion, but a lot of the complaints about windows I see linux users make, are based on a lack of knowledge. Sure, MS doesn't make it particularly easy, but linux isn't always particularly easy to install or get working well for casual users either. Whether it's linux or windows, a quick google goes a long way to solving most issues.
I'm behind the idea of GNU, but it's weird how so many linux memes could easily be turned into equally ill informed pro-MS memes. Obviously, MS isn't a nice company and I don't think anyone's a genuine MS fanboy, but still.
If you want to learn Putin's take on Russian history you're better off reading some of his speeches, the wikipedia entry on Putin, or perhaps a bit about Aleksandr Dugin. Then remember that Putin is a man who has previously defended the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and Stalin, and has the charisma of a walnut.
The interview with Tucker Carlson is hours long, Putin's clearly in full propaganda dictatorsplain mode, and it's boring. Putin's famous 2007 Munich Speech is only half an hour long, more honest and more interesting:
If you want to understand modern Russia watch something like Adam Curtis' Russia 1985-1999 TraumaZone. It's genuinely interesting, fascinating, and you'll actually understand the Russians' perspective more. If you want to learn about Russian history, there are podcasts which will give you a far more entertaining and accurate overview.
I like that you included an archive link and media bias fact check link OP. Obviously, the latter isn't without controversy, but it's better than nothing.
It's important that criticism is coming from a former Israeli PM and Biden. I know there are a lot of the people who are very critical of both or likely don't think they're going far enough, but because the former is Israeli and the latter has been vocal in his support of Israel, it's far harder for Israel's far right government and their supporters to discount that criticism. This is far more damaging than any protest march could be, especially if those participating in that martch have always been critical of Israel or can be painted as making excuses for Hamas or Iran.
A lot of this is historians using a euphemism in a time when homosexuality was/is still frowned upon or outright illegal, and contemporary audiences not picking up on it.
Eg. "confirmed bachelor" or "he never married." Wikipedia:
A lot of people like it in part because it contains said content, but pretend they don't. Plausible deniability, they have a valid excuse for watching it because the plot is good.
Hell, plenty of anime is targeted at teenagers, so you could perhaps ignore the 'fan service' featuring post-pubescent children, point out their tits are bigger than their head, and file it under cultural differences. But a lot of anime sexualises clearly very young characters, with gratuitous panty shots and the like, often not even bothering to make flimsy excuses like "she's a 1000 year old demon" or "she's an alien".
It's depraved.
If it makes you feel any better, Japanese 'hentai' is a dying art, because they pay the artists too little and because it's niche and frowned upon in Japan.
Given America is likely to vote Trump as the next president, and his extensive ties to China, you'll probably end up selling out the Taiwanese for a lucrative real estate deal for Dear Leader.
... the tale of elaborate, fake settlements, with glowing fires designed to comfort the monarch and her entourage as they surveyed the barren territory at night, is largely fictional. ... "Based on the above said we must conclude that the myth of 'Potemkin villages' is exactly a myth, and not an established fact." ... The close relationship between Potemkin and the empress could have made it difficult for him to deceive her. Thus, if there were deception, it would have been mainly directed towards the foreign ambassadors accompanying the imperial party ... it is possible that the phrase cannot be applied accurately to its own original historical inspiration. According to some historians, some of the buildings were real, and others were constructed to show what the region would look like in the near future, and at least Catherine and possibly also her foreign visitors knew which were which.
TBH I have a subscription to multiple streaming sites, but I usually torrent what I want to watch anyway.
I paid to watch it, I'm simply choosing to watch it in the way that's most convenient to me. Sometimes Netflix forgets to supply the video in the quality I paid for, so I'm simply helping them fulfill their contract.
I did a quick google, you can torrent updates for free for at least some garmin products. Given you paid for lifetime map updates, I'd argue it's not even illegal.
I don't see the problem. You bought the product, you're allowed to download it in perpetuity, even if it's from a torrent site.
Hell, the law is on my side. Depending on where you live, there are laws which allow you to make copies of media you own for personal use.
You can use a VCR to record broadcast TV, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to make a copy of stuff that's available on streaming sites, etc. Especially if you bought it.
That's not necessarily a bad thing.
