We have a deluge of data - we have very little information.
Ah, got it - you're trolling. Well done, you got me.
Well done. You managed to fixate on one and only one thing and somehow find that that totally exonerates Musk from being a nazi despite everything else. That's quite a feat of cognitive dissonance.
Are you genuinely suggesting you have to be a member of a club to be a nazi?
He's posted in support of far-right extremists in Germany and the UK multiple times, he's 'liked' antisemitic posts on his shitshow of a site, he's used avatars that are used by the alt and far right. And now he's done this. A nazi salute. He's a nazi. Nobody needs to 'go out of their way' to call him a nazi when everything he says and does shouts the fact from the fucking rooftops.
I don't agree its as bad or worse than Reddit which is packaged fury everywhere. However, the last few months tempers have certainly risen and bad-faith takes and antagonism are more visible in some communities. There seems to be a lot more right-wing people, or centerist apologists at least, than there were before the US election results and I think those results might play a part - emboldening some to speak up and causing so much stress in others that they lash out where they wouldn't have before.
Just make liberal use of the blocking options and take your time to find your people.
The great thing about a lot of very good Linux distros is that you can run them from whats called a 'live USB' meaning you download the ISO of the distro you like the look of, put it on a USB drive, then reboot your PC and boot to the USB you just created (you might need to alter your BIOS boot order). There's a full guide here. The point here is to give the distro a try without putting anything on your harddrive so Windows is safe. If you like it, most distros will let you dual boot so you can have Windows and your linux distro on one machine.
In terms of the right distro a lot depends on what you'll be using the PC for. For a really good, stable general purpose distro I think Mint is perfect.
Its a good point but my own take on it is that you can't be the resistance in an environment they totally control. There are plenty of places to organise away from the billionaires control.
I walked away from all Meta platforms under my own name recently as I choose not to have my participation used as tacit endorsement, data collection or ad-money generators for them. That doesn't mean I've stopped participating in organising resistance, just that I choose not to do that in a place they have absolute power in.
- Do I actually need it? For example, I like the gnome ArcMenu extension but I don't really need it, so no to that one.
- Read the reviews and/or ask in the relevant community, or a Privacy community like this one.
- If the code's up to date in a repo see where (if anywhere) its phoning home to.
- If its not but I still really need it, install it, then run Wireshark and see what its up to, if anything.
No idea but I'd guess armour piercing rounds being commonplace these days?

(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Last week, our "Satan Not Hatin'" campaign - set up to challenge hate and far-right extremism in alt music scenes - welcomed it's 200th opt-in participant. That's 200 artists, bands, record labels, promoters, venues and other organisations not prepared to tolerate hate.
As well as the documentary on the project (which is still being shot), a Stockholm based radio show, Trigger, have announced they will be dedicating an episode to the campaign and playing bands that are participating!
You can read more about the campaign at it's dedicated website and details of how to access the Trigger episode (either as its broadcast via their website or the next day on their Mixcloud account) are also on the site.

More accurately, they fear not being able to feed or clothe their children.
I once worked for a national grocery company and the unspoken rule was: if you saw someone taking food, no you didn't.
