Depends on what they are doing, but I guess it's pretty usable without cli interventions - at least for standard apps and unless something gets screwed. Fedora KDE.

At least in the EU we should have opt in for any communication. I don't really get it why there is no such law in place, even more so when we have GDPR and annoying cookie dialogs. 🤷♂️
AFAIK the app is the same in both free and paid case. Which doesn't necessarily mean paid version gets the adds as well, but it's more likely the case. 🤷♂️

This specific GPU is... Kind of a mixed bag.

Did they publicly accused US of war and kidnapping, perhaps filled a lawsuit or something about it or at least condemned US? Or did they say it's fine as long as international law is followed, we are with US blah blah? Rhetoric question, obviously.
China, whatever it is, doesn't wage direct wars abroad and kidnap random presidents. Well, for now, at least. But seeing there is no accountability, they will certainly consider it much more seriously.
Absolutely correct. Also claiming that as long as international law and UN charter are observed, everything is fine is disgusting beyond words. The world is facing an era of territory wars once more. Peak irony is Ukraine supporting illegal wars.
People who have been there or live there, how is it? My grandpa says it's bad due to immigration because he's MAGA, but I wanna know what it's really like from a non-MAGA perspective. Is immigration really a problem or does it just make the country better and more diverse?...

Hey, how else would one be able to repel demonesses or increase attractiveness to women?
The purpose of circumcision has been variously proposed that it began:
as a religious sacrifice;
as a rite of passage marking a boy's entrance into adulthood;
as a form of sympathetic magic to ensure virility or fertility;
as an aid to hygiene where regular bathing was impractical;
as a means of marking those of higher social status;
as a means of humiliating enemies and slaves by symbolic castration;
as a means of differentiating a circumcising group from their non-circumcising neighbors;
as a means of discouraging masturbation or other socially proscribed sexual behaviors;
as a means of increasing a man's attractiveness to women;
as a demonstration of one's ability to endure pain;
as a male counterpart to menstruation or the breaking of the hymen;
to copy the rare natural occurrence of a missing foreskin of an important leader;[13][14]
as a way to repel demonesses;[15] and/or
as a display of disgust of the smegma produced by the foreskin.
