Spreading out stock purchases across the market guarantees returns over the long run.

No it doesn't.

Probably the most egregious behaviour is declaring different terms and conditions for sales and pre-orders after a person has handed over their money, particularly changing the terms around refunds. Literal Vader "pray I do not alter it any further". And illegal. Refunds in general have been a nightmare for customers with many making a complaint to the Attorney General of California which seems to have been the only way to get money back.

Check r/purism on Reddit if you want to see lots of examples of their shady behaviour.

Petition: "Please prevent this shitty behaviour?"

Government: "There's nothing in law preventing this shitty behaviour."

"Yes, we're asking you to change the law you dipshits!"

Our government is just an appalling joke at this point.

we should be able to have sane and respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else

Why should we?

Your personal opinion does not give you the right to delete comments and block users, just because their opinions don't align with yours!

Actually it does. Just like IRC, the fediverse is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship. As a user, you have no rights at all. You're offered the privilege of being permitted to connect and participate. Don't like it? Nobody cares. Go start your own server/network/whatever.

Use df to show disk usage. df -h is most useful.

I'd guess the odd usage numbers is due to sparse files. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sparse_file

Can I ask how you go about doing that? I may want to test some water soon.

ive just heard of an incident where students redirected their books codes to p**n

Where did you hear about this? It sounds suspiciously like someone misremembered the following incident where there was no malice or even intent, just incompetence and happenstance:

The Internet connects the whole world. Other places in the world are not like your place. Other places' Internet connections are not like your Internet connection.

That is pretty much exactly the goal of the Wikimedia Foundation

Their goal isn't to collect all human knowledge, only notable human knowledge.
