…decided it was evil to suggest to people showing non-cis traits or behaviors that they, indeed, may not be cis.

From the sources I found, most people take the “Egg Prime Directive” to mean asserting someone’s identify is wrong, not suggesting explanations for how they feel.

Every skyrim release has come packaged with the same bugs and errors that the original 360 disk has when they first released it

This isn’t true. They do release patches. 1 2

We’re using the definition differently. There is nothing left to discuss.

Miranda is required by law

Irrelevant to the point. I was pointing out the value proposition. Certain things exist for a minority of people. I view the 'reason why" as valuable, even if only a minority care about it.

They don’t have to explain anything to you

Correct. We wont do business if one cannot give an explanation. One can write in the privacy policy that they collect all sorts of private information, but the kicker, for me, is often why.

The vast majority of people who run into the Anubis setup will have no fucking clue what any of it means, nor give a shit about it. They just want to get to the content.

One doesn’t have to care about the Miranda warning, but its still read off to someone in case they do.

From my experience a user account usually needs to be in the “wheel” group to elevate privileges through sudo. So try that.

If you require something, such as an account, to view the content. Simply add why.

I believe the bandaid needs ripping off.

Just like how community effort into making windows more tolerable never solves the fundamental problem of it being closed-source and out of your control, Firefox being largely dependant on Google, while fighting against privacy invasion and ads creates a conflict of interests.

This is solved by removing the influence

Simply: Do the protections against someone taking your computer and installing a malicious program before/as your OS, or a program that has attained root on your machine and installs itself before/as your OS, matter enough to you to justify the increased risk of being locked out of your machine and the effort to set it up and understand it.

If you don’t understand and don’t want to put in the effort to, then my advice would be to leave it off. Its simple, and the likelihood it saves you is probably very miniscule.
