The xz/ssh back door made it into Debian testing, So I felt I should wipe and reinstall.
Debian has had a rolling release for ages.
Take it up with men and current gender stereotypes.
"The research, conducted with three other colleagues, consisted of seven experiments involving more than 2,000 American and Chinese participants. We showed that there is a psychological link between eco-friendliness and perceptions of femininity. Due to this “green-feminine stereotype,” both men and women judged eco-friendly products, behaviors, and consumers as more feminine than their non-green counterparts. In one experiment, participants of both sexes described an individual who brought a reusable canvas bag to the grocery store as more feminine than someone who used a plastic bag—regardless of whether the shopper was a male or female. In another experiment, participants perceived themselves to be more feminine after recalling a time when they did something good versus bad for the environment."

It's likely using nature is coded as masculine, while showing you care about nature is coded feminine.
There's definitely the genetic component too, but the scents from soap is an interesting thing to test out.
And for what it's worth some types of oil of lemon eucalyptus works reasonably well, if you don't want to use DEET. https://www.consumerreports.org/health/insect-repellent/oil-of-lemon-eucalyptus-insect-repellents-a7989538414/
Some friends really like this stuff "Repel Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent2 Pump" and consumer reports also thinks it works pretty well.
I run my own XMPP server. https://joinjabber.org/ has some introductory information Snickket is a all in one service you can host or your can pay them to host https://snikket.org/start/
XMPP servers and clients are a lot lighter weight than matrix, though I think matrix has more fancy features.
They're both self hostable and are federated to share the costs of running the network.
With signal there's a non-profit that needs some pretty steam funding to stay in business. (Though they're popular so maybe they can get it) https://www.pcmag.com/news/want-to-run-an-encrypted-chat-app-youll-need-50-million-signal-says

I think it's more fair to compare average income versus average life satisfaction. (using a scale of 1 to 10) (On this scale Finland is the happiest, and Afghanistan is the least happy)
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/gdp-vs-happiness
Average satisfaction for Costa Rica (6.61) or Mexico (6.33) isn't that much lower than the United States (6.89) at roughly 1/4th the GDP.
South Korea (5.95) doubles Mexico's GDP ($45.5k vs $20.25k) but has a lower life satisfaction.
Or Hong Kong (5.31, $58k) is close the US ($64k) in GDP but less happy than Russia (5.66, $27.4k).
Costa Rica is at the 1.5t per capita probably safe emissions and has a life satisfaction of 6.61 compared to the US's 6.89.
Our world in data also has life satisfaction versus CO2 emissions and central america looks to be doing fairly well for themselves. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-satisfaction-vs-co-emissions-per-capita
