I'm unfortunate enough to be in both camps, depending on the situation... and find myself in the wrong one every single time.

I've had so many issues with Ubuntu in the last few years compared to other distros that honestly I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it as a beginner distro anymore.

I think you meant "concerning"?

Sorry but I don't see anything particularly egregious in there. It's all fairly common stuff, any sufficiently big company is going to face some lawsuits of that sort at some point. Also, remember that anyone can file a lawsuit, it doesn't mean that the recipient is guilty of what it describes or that the filer isn't just exploiting technicalities.

Nothing there blatantly screams "bad company" from what I can see.

Firefox implements everything the various web standards require. There are a few non standard features that Chromium implements that certain websites take advantage of, but the fact that their code isn't portable is not Firefox's fault. As for Teams... Microsoft's just being a dick: if you change the user agent it works just fine.

I "let people be" when their religion doesn't harm them or other people.

And I don't care if "not all Muslims think of women that way". Their decisions/opinions make them better people, they don't make Islam a better religion.

This is, of course, not limited to Islam.

Teams doesn't work on anything

You don't master Javascript, ever. You just become accustomed to the madness and stop caring, while sometimes doing things right.

Then you fundamentally don't understand what "freedom of speech" means. It means that you're allowed to say what you want without the government stopping you or punishing you. It doesn't mean there won't be consequences for what you say or do, as there should.

It's always been like this. Even in the 80s you could say what you wanted, but you were expected to know and accept that, socially, there would be consequences. It's only recently that this stupid idea of giving everyone a free pass to say and do whatever they like, no matter how hateful or asinine it is, came around, and it's not helping anyone.

If you're a Nazi and people and employers decide they don't want anything to do with you, then it's not their fault, it's yours. "But who are you to decide who's right and who's wrong?" moralists will say, as if a history of oppression and genocide wasn't enough to determine such an ideology is wrong.

The same was said about gay people years ago and guess what? It wasn't true, because of course it wasn't. Informing kids and teens of the existence of other sexualities won't convince them to adopt them.

The increase in transgender youth can be mainly attributed to the increased acceptance and knowledge of the issue among the younger generations. Simple as that.

VERY few people would ever do it for attention, since the attention you get is extremely often negative. Most transgender people are terrified of telling others they're trans because of the reaction they'd get. The popularity argument is simply unrealistic.
