Hard to make the poor people richer when the rich are taking an increasingly large share of the pie.

No, it isn’t. You can fully believe in people’s ability to rehabilitate and change, while also being aware that not everyone rehabilitates and changes.

The needs of the perpetrator of a crime need to be balanced against the needs of society at large. This is why you get your license taken away from you when you drink and drive, or why you end up on a sex offenders register.

In this case, there’s a valid argument to be made that this person represents a danger to society, and the need to protect/inform people from him outweighs his desire to not have past crimes revealed.

I live in a country with a nominally ‘labor’ government that has stood in the way of unions protesting the genocide in Gaza and is actively working to suppress union led protests.

We in the west are in for a very rude shock in the coming years. Today it’s clamping down on protests for Palestine, tomorrow its teargas and truncheons for strikers.

A lot of people don’t understand that if we don’t stand up for the Palestinians, we won’t have a snowballs chance when it comes to seriously protesting our own governments and the corporations that control them.

You’re putting a lot of faith in whoever packages the ‘distro’.

Obviously you have the same problem with trusting FOSS software distributions, but it’s mitigated by things like Linus’ Law and reproducible builds.

That being said, I personally use tiny11 VMs for certain non-critical things at home and work. I’d never use it for anything security related, or as my main OS, as there is a non-negligible chance that it’s compromised (and there’s basically no way of knowing).

You’ve actually got it backwards. The ranking algorithm (rankdex) developed by one of the engineers that founded Baidu was published in 1996, two years before pagerank. Some of Google’s early patents actually cite the rankdex algo.

Not like it matters here
