Being angry is a very easy to access motivated place. I suspect some of the nastier folks just aren’t good at motivating themselves otherwise

Echo people saying go to a common starter distro instead of a more esoteric one. Another starter tip if you want to learn the ecosystem deeply is to find good sources of documentation.

The man command is always useful, but for more general topics you can start looking with your distros help pages -> package documentation -> Alternate distro wiki. Essentially start with the documentation most relevant to your setup, which will often be your distros own guides. If your answer isn’t there you can check upstream with the packages themselves. Many have github/sourceforge pages with good info. If you still can’t find your answers several distros have documentation pages that are really really useful even when you’re on different distros. The Arch wiki is for me the defining feature of the distro, and almost any answer to a Linux question can be found between the Arch Wiki and the Gentoo Wiki if you read closely.

The less obvious fucked up part is how do you suppose they determine whether an exception was met? Do you think that is happening before the law enforcement goons have access to personal medical data?

Almost certain that at the very least, having a medically necessary abortion will get your private health records turned over to the police. You will become an investigation target and have your privacy violated before they can even possibly know whether you fall under an exception. Mix in the general disposition of police and the specific conflicting interest of stalker/abusive cops who will have no motivation to protect the people in these situations and you have a system designed to put every pregnant person in the US in the sights of PD firearms.

If they left it at OneDrive that would be one thing, but I don’t believe for a second that “We helped enable surveillance and AI targeting of drone strikes in a genocidal campaign” Microsoft is not more deeply involved than OneDrive
