I hope that's true, but this is a common refrain with various adversaries used as the boogie-man.

The scam goes something like this: A weapons contractor and military-funded think tank publishes a supposedly neutral "report" or a handful "U.S. officials" run to a media outlet insisting the United States is "lagging behind" in a sector that incidentally coincides with said think tank's funders or government entity's interests. Credulous American media mindlessly repeats the claims, everyone acts panicked, treating the warning like a work of good faith, sober and objective analysis. Congress then reacts and uses media coverage to rationalize even more contracts to the very funders of the think tank that raised the warning, further bloating the Pentagon, State Department and CIA budgets. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, all the while portraying the U.S.'s gargantuan defense expenditures as paltry and insufficient.

Yeah, my attitude towards this is that if I post something, I voluntarily lose control of it. Post accordingly.

It is gonna suck.

Aurora DX (which is based on Fedora atomic) has been the best distro I've used in a long time. Immutable OSes are great for general purpose desktop use! I set up a container for each development environment and never need to worry about conflicting dependencies anymore. But yeah, I wouldn't go with Steam OS for that. Steam works fine on pretty much any modern distro, so I don't see any obvious benefit to using it.

I usually associate it more with Intel since they certify Thunderbolt devices on all the non-Apple hardware and that's all I use. I forgot Apple had anything to do with it.

I really don't think even half of Trump voters voted for him because they think God wanted them to, and Trump voters don't make up half the population.

Its bright red, maybe toward purple! Brown is dark orange.

The phrase "rogue state" to me always just sorta meant "uncooperative with the United States," which the United States can't be. I'm sure there's a more useful definition.

I was using the flatpak on Linux.

This is not true. There are squirrels who relentlessly mock me and I have done nothing to deserve it.

All else being equal, having a 3d printer I can fold up and put away sounds pretty nice to me. I use mine once or twice a month and I could use that space for other things. Of course, all else is unlikely to be equal.
