Standard IRS reimbursement rate per mile driven is 67¢ per mile this year, which is essentially the per-mile average cost for driving a car. But like, with this sort of thing everyone has their own personal calculus for what they want to optimize for. Do they want to save as much money as possible? Do they want to have fun while shopping? Do they want to shop as quickly as they can? A lot of people will balance these priorities against each other and come up with a solution that isn't optimal in any one specific area.
If I had to compare my face to these two, it definitely looks more like the first one, but I still find this meme hilarious because of how earnest the fried guy looks and how ridiculously stupid the attractive guy is for starting with confidence for his advice for that dude.
"Accessibility service permissions" is a higher level of permissions than most apps get and Android will be all like "bro, are you sure you want to grant this app that kind of access and control? You really sure?" I've got a few apps on my phone with that level of permissions including one written by Google. They'd simply be unable to do their job without that level of access, jobs which have been straight-up good for my physical health. Ultimately there's a balance between security and letting the user do what they want.
In my personal experience, whenever I've needed help, people have been nice and tried to help. But, my questions usually include as much context and details as I can give and even my own guess as to what's going on, if I have one. I try to make my requests for help as enticing as I can. "I didn't do anything and now my computer is broken" isn't a very interesting or scrutable request for help, so I can understand the frustration volunteers get when repeatedly faced with those kinds of questions.
I also feel like some parts of the community might be starting to recognize that, if we want Linux to become mainstream, it has to be absurdly idiot-proof and friendly to newcomers. Afterall, the vast majority of people don't want their computer to be their hobby, they just want it to facilitate other things.
Yeah, FairVote is.... Okay. In terms of objective vs political, they tend to be as political as they can get while still being objective. They used to actually say a few things that weren't exactly true, but opponents kept calling them out on it so they quit as far as I know. Wikipedia would be a better source, though be aware that proponents of any system will try to sneak in promotional language. But, at least on Wikipedia there's also people trying to keep things objective.
These are what I would consider the most relevant articles if you're looking to understand the realistic options in America.
I would say that you don't actually need to read any of these articles particularly closely. They can get very technical. You can just skim them for the parts you find interesting.
For me, personally, I agree that the industrial meat industry is unethical and has to go. My push-back against the herbivore claims is purely from an objective standpoint. Putting aside objectivism, if humans are omnivores, it makes the moral argument stronger. You'd be telling people they have a choice and can choose to eat a more compassionate and ethical diet. (More energy efficient, too.) If people are herbivores, you get stuck in this weird argument about what humans are supposed to do instead of what we can choose to do.
I spent a lot of time as a vegan, and talked about my choices openly. (Stopped on account of health.) No one attacked me for them and it was because I stuck to irrefutable facts and never made the person I was talking to feel bad for their choices. I just showed them they could easily be a better human, if they wanted to be. Maybe that doesn't feel like enough for you, but I felt that no one ever changed their position on a personal matter because someone else made them feel attacked. They always dig in their heels.

It did, yes. One of the first things I did with my Windows 10 machine was install Classic Shell to give myself the Windows 7 start menu.
