no, it did not. the initial lockdown at the beginning lowered violent crime a great deal, and the rate rose back up after lockdowns were lifted, but still not to the rate from before the pandemic. this isn't out of date; you're remembering media reports and propagandists online intentionally misrepresenting this data by only looking at during lockdown and just after, pretending lockdowns and mask mandates and other covid response measures as causing crime.

on a bowden system yes, but just ever so slightly. not any more than you could fix with retraction and other settings, and prolly only nylon and other flexible ones you should be doing in a direct dirve anyway would be affected.

and even if it were worn down that much it wouldn't cause any problem as the entire tube is made of the same slippery stuff, it's not a coating.

the thing is they aren't and won't claim it for themselves. claiming to being the normal/majority/default is super important to them and weird is the antithesis of that. we can claim weirdness for ourselves like we have for ages without anyone mistaking us as right wingers because of this. good weird vs bad weird has always been a thing, too.

at least, that's my two cents on the matter. they may end up trying to claim it and take the wind out of it but i doubt it.

cinnamon, lxde, kde, and mate are all desktop environments that mimic the basics of windows ui like the taskbar, start menu, and windows with minimize, maximize, and exit buttons at the top. and all can be installed/selected during install on pretty much every popular distro. there's prolly some others i've forgotten but those are all solid choices.

edit: whoops had mint listed but that's not a de that's a distro

fighting for bitcoin to get an emoji is stupid, but fighting against it might be even stupider. surely there are more important things to spend your time and energy on. it's a fucking emoji. who cares?

yup, and both bluesky and threads will be/are exactly as bad, too.

sometimes a hangup in a widget or other taskbar or desktop customization can freeze up the menu. right click on the taskbar, enter edit mode, and resize the taskbar height one up and back down to where it was. if that doesn't fix it maybe remove any widgets or other customizations.
