If you look at the kind and number of documents, and each parties reaction, this is very much a false equivalency. Biden's documents case is more like Pence's, while Trump's is a whole different animal.
Just because I found it's interesting and tangentialy related, here's a bunch of statistics on the BRICS States by the German federal office of statistics.
Auto-translate should work. The statistic on CO₂ Emissions might be slightly unfair, as I assume a lot of that is directly, or indirectly related to production for G7 countries.
Whenever I'm in Munich, I see a lot of BMW test vehicles, with the new parts partially camouflaged. I never really liked them, but they're getting worse really rapidly now. Their new SUV looks like it's a cyberpunk parody of an overly aggressive car.
Yeah, the thing is, it seems like it's not "oh no, they're using human shields, we can't blow them up", but more like "human shields? Oh well, load the bombs."
The atrocities commited by hamas in no way justify the atrocities commited under the leadership of the Israeli government, doubly so since an organised military force with a clear chain of command is quite different from a group of extremist militants.
I'd go in a different direction - requiring someone to sing your national anthem is wrong. It's wrong when the U.S. do it, it's wrong when Canada does, it's wrong when China does it.
I find national pride hard to understand, but forced displays of national pride are really iffy.
Look for specialist forums for whatever I'm buying, see what they recommend. Look at the documentation available from the manufacturer, it can be a good indication, if not of quality, than of maintainability. Also, I live in a country in which you can return any product bought online for any reason 14 days after it arrived, so that helps if it turns out to suck.

Had a short look at it some time ago, but it seemed really US-centric, so I didn't look at it much further.
Curiously, for me it's more or less the other way around, in a sense. I run Linux on both my Desktop and my Laptop, and feel that after setting them up the way I like, I am more productive than under Windows. In Windows, I oftentimes had the feeling that I had to work against the OS whenever I wanted to configure it in a way that wasn't quite standard, while I tend to feel that I can work with the OS when using Linux. Especially Win11 introduced lots of things that detracted from the user experience for me, and where only changeable by editing the registry, which isn't great.
I do recognise that parts, or even most of that probably isn't applicable to the standard user, but as what could reasonably be called a power user, I never really had any problems working with Linux.
I'd also say that for non-power users, people who mainly work within Word processors, or their browser, a stable LTS distros can in some cases be less hassle than Windows.
Regarding Excel - gotta give that to you, I always felt that Excel in isolation was good software, and I am not aware of any replacement that's equally as friendly to non-programmer users, while also being equally as capable.
Regarding your last point - Dunno, I don't work there. I would however raise that inertia can be quite powerful. No one ever got fired for buying IBM, no one ever got fired for licensing Windows. Doesn't mean that there aren't other, possibly good, reasons.
Dunno if 300k is necessarily a lot for an ISP, but having rules and fining firms for non-compliance is pretty nice.
Point taken, though I'd argue that it is slightly harder than it used to be before Steam opened the publishing floodgates completely, mostly because of the overwhelming amount of games that are ostensibly spam, not that Greenlight was that great a system either. It is, of course, probably quite hard to actually moderate the amount of games that get pushed onto Steam, but many interesting titles do get buried a bit.
I will not argue that Valve hasn't changed the PC Gaming landscape in a very positive way, both for customers, as well as for developers. I also think that they are using at least some of their profits for some pretty good things.
I just also think that they could be doing some further good for small developers, while not sacrificing all that much profit, though, as I said, I am not really in a position to make an informed judgement on the feasibility of anything like that.
