Oh is that what it was? Well, that's helpful to know, thanks! Though it turned out to be a blessing because it forced me to make the jump to linux and now I would hate to go back anyways...

Back when I was first in high school, I got into torrenting and gave myself pretty bad malware that just black-screened my laptop, and even though it had shipped with windows, the installer would not detect my ssd for whatever reason. Linux detected my hardware and I installed Ubuntu, then Mint, and I moved to Arch a few years ago after having learned the ropes. That's about when I fully spiralled into linux nerd.
Thanks for the extensive response! You make some really good points and I was unaware of the political ick. Not sure if it's enough to make me leave them because they do seem to at least handle the privacy aspect of their services correctly (for now at least), but those do seem like good areas that I'm going to watch more closely about them from now on.
alias ser='pacman -Ss'
alias ins='sudo pacman -S'
alias rem='sudo pacman -Rncs'
alias upd='sudo pacman -Syu'
alias q='quit'
alias cl='clear'
alias p='systemctl poweroff'
alias r='systemctl reboot'
Can I ask what those other reasons are? (genuinely curious if I should switch away from them)
An alien abduction, but they just want to adopt a human pet and you get food and water and shelter and have no expectations except for to lounge around and get massages (pats).
Am I the only one who beleives that it would have been a more effective arguement to try and use the 4th amendment instead of the 1st? Violating free speech is just a weak claim, but "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches..." seems quite relevent here. But I am also not a lawyer.
