Most people prefer to play 100% of their games to work, and most online games with anticheat will just not run on Linux.

>I think the problem for the future is the media attention this has gotten and that even if a new government gets put in place and they are very pro letting Sweden and Finland in

The opposition isn't in support of it either, so the even if he loses the election the situation won't change drastically. Sweden supporting the YPG is a much bigger deal for the nationalist opposition even.

>AFAIK The scientific consensus is that it's not life. Not because of any semantic reason but an ethic and possibly legal one. If at any point in the future we decide to "protect all life" then things like vaccines would be consider genocide. We still have things like traps and pesticides, but that's a bridge we'll cross when we come to it.

We consider bacteria life and have no problem eliminating, or even exterminating them, the same goes for disease causing parasites. No one is saying we should protect malaria because it is alive.
