Wouldn’t it be more like Android/Linux (or Android plus Linux) because it only has a small fraction of the GNU software / libraries but still uses the Linux kernel?

Essentially the EU does.
I’m not sure the rest of the world knows about the plans to make backdoors in encrypted communication mandatory, i. e. outlawing any form of effective encryption. They say it’s against crime but I strongly believe it is mainly about total surveillance, maybe a little bit for censorship.
So we’re gonna have to start using Tor against censorship in the so-called ‘civilised’ world as well.
I’m basically a “native” Linux user. When my parents finally decided to get a computer in 2008 or so (I was in elementary school back then), it got Ubuntu installed on it, so my first contact points with modern technology were 100% on Linux as anything invented after the 1950s wasn’t used at all in elementary back then.
When I got my first own computer a few years later, the guy who guided my dad and me through building it suggested installing both Linux Mint and Windows on it. The Linux installation died on me after a few months for unknown reasons, I had no idea how to fix it and our helper disappeared into severe personal problems, so I used Windows only for quite a while until I finally started to really get into Linux inside VMs and was finally able to reinstall it on the bare metal.
As I had always prefered Linux, it quickly became my daily driver again.
Fast forward to today, Linux is the only OS on my laptop and the main OS of my gaming PC. I use Manjaro KDE on both.
YouTube could probably theoretically embed the ads in the video itself.
This. I have always wondered why they don’t just do that. If you wanna serve ads so hard, just make them technically indistinguishable from the actual content. (Please don’t.)
How dare anyone call it data caps? Almost everyone has unlimited¹ data!
¹ High speed data available up to one nanobyte of traffic. Speeds reduced to 1 bit/year after the high speed volume is used up. Pictures of domesticated llamas do not use up high speed volume.
Couldn’t M$ make corporations deal with it anyways? It’s really not like they could just switch to Linux or Mac with their very specific BS piece of software of which every company has their own that runs on Windows only.
