Does NOT delete any files that were written to, for example, ~/.local or ~/.config from dev shell.

One of OP's problems was,

I’m making a mess of config files and extras.

NixOS containers could do what OP's asking for, but it'll be trickier with just nix (on other distro). It'll handle build dependencies and such, but you'll still need to keep your home or other directories clean some other way.

How does Tor help ssh behind NAT?

Smartphone use is certainly something that should be decided on local level. Global bans only make sense for universal human rights, or things like climate change that have global effects.

1. Not open source.
2. Can't customise my feed in any way. It's full of creators I don't like who post a lot of videos.

The issue is, social change should be driven by the locals, through civil organizations, grassroots movements, education, etc. If foreigners want to help, they can help local LGBT groups with support, know-how, expertise.

If, instead, you just go to a foreign country, tell people there how backwards and evil their society is, and demand they change it, at best you'll be wasting your time, and if you're high-profile enough, boost local reactionary sentiment.

The advance of LGBT rights in the west has been a long process. And other societies aren't going to just magically internalize the results of it. They still need to walk the path. But, since it's already been done once, they can hopefully do it faster.

Indeed, most can speak both. I'm referring to first language.

It was before the big war from 2022, but the was in Donbas was happening at the time. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to reverse this trend while the war's still ongoing.

But Kyiv the city also has (had before the war) about a quarter of its population being Russian-speakers, so the point stands. That said, I don't see this trend reversing while the war's still ongoing.

I guess most pro-capitalism people don't mind corporate-controlled social media, and so have stayed on reddit. I don't know why there aren't more anti-monopolistic pro-capitalism libertarians here, though...

NixOS does that well. I never quite managed to figure out a solution to this on other distros (which is actually what led me into making the jump in the end).

“The complete inflexibility we see from the UK government today is baffling, frustrating, and ultimately destructive for everyone who wants waiting lists to go down and NHS staffing numbers to go up,” Laurenson and Trivedi added.

Maybe the Tory government doesn't want wait lists to go down, but want to adopt the US system instead...
