I know you're pissed at me but that was kinda weak. I don't think there's anything unreasonable about saying our society is fucked up but a very different style of fucked up vs china.
Especially considering that china sorta looked at the most fucked up parts of the credit score system and deliberately said "I want that, but more invasive and with the government running it" something like half a century later.
Punishment as a deterrent? Lol what human race are you thinking of.
Societal outcomes are worse pretty much across the board for all of those groups. See my long middle paragraph about how our whole society is fucked up.
Every item listed on that page is a measurement indicating the end result which is inequality. Nothing on that page covers the why or the how. If Equifax is literally scoring people based on "how black a name sounds" (as with resume studies) then sure the actual scoring system is also broken. But it doesn't say that, it says outcomes are worse and unequal. Just like every other outcome in this country.
"I didn't make it, I just posted it and added a comment and everyone is misinterpreting it and reading into it"
Cool story.
I will enjoy the folks coming out of the woodwork to say "~~I only liked Elon before he went crazy~~" "I only liked Spotify before they started exploiting artists".
You literally have to clockwork orange some people to get them to see what is happening around them.
Oh, then you're just not very good at conveying that it seems
What the fuck is this nonsense?
Nobody likes credit scores but it's at least marginally financial measurements that are used for financial decisions.
It's regressive, but only because our society is regressive. A middle class person who overspends and doesn't pay their bills on time is probably gonna get treated worse than a poor person who needs groceries and fails to pay their grocery bills on time, yes. But it's still financial.
The poor person isn't being stopped from buying a train ticket. They might not have money to do so, but that's a different societal fuck up.
At least compare apples to apples.
In what way is the education system easier for girls to navigate? That doesn't make sense to me at all.
I can't tell if you're sarcastic or a time traveler from 1870.
If you're not looking to do much you might be better off with one of the immutable variants (silver blue, aurora, bazzite). The upside is things are not supposed to break too much. The downside is if it breaks almost any existing instructions on the internet prior to maybe 2022 will fuck the system up more. Tbh Linux changes so fast that's true for most variants, but you can reach back to maybe 2018 before you start to hit system-breaking legacy instructions.
Mint isn't a good choice, but if you want a generally straightforward system that looks like Mac (gnome) or windows (KDE) then fedora is a good choice.
None of these options will be as secure by default as a Mac or windows machine -- you will have to do a lot of learning and be generally technically inclined to get there. The immutable OSs will give you a small leg up there, just because you're running less random shit from the internet as admin/root, but the Linux community hates Intel and Microsoft so much it's taken a lonnnngggg time to adopt standard security techniques, mostly resting on their laurels from decades past. Will you get viruses? Probably not. But just because nobody broke in doesn't mean leaving your door unlocked is secure.
And yet it's weird how much they care about you trying to use Facebook marketplace without a phone number, drivers license, a key to your house, your social security number, and the name of your first pet
