Who do I vote to end the suffering of the people in Palestine? Get universal healthcare? Decriminalize cannabis at the federal level? Ban new oil and gas leases? Revoke fossil fuel subsidies and tax breaks?

Always being willing to hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils ensures that nothing will change. You'll always have the choice of bad and worse, and the best you'll ever be able to hope for is table scraps instead of transformative, positive change. That's not a system I'm going to prolong with my participation.

I really enjoy EndeavourOS, even as someone who considers themselves a Fedora homer.

It's by far the best experience I've had with Arch. User-friendly without holding your hand, with all the positives of Arch and AUR

I don't think that's how it works; you don't just somehow get money because your ISP is being stupid. Maybe if, through years of expensive legal battles, you could demonstrate some damages and get a favorable ruling, but not because you have a recording of some incompetent customer service rep saying "don't torrent".

Also, be careful about taking advice about recording people from random people on the internet. A responsible person should tell you that different states have different laws around potentially requiring you to inform other parties that you're recording them. You'd feel pretty silly suing your ISP based on a recording that was actually illegally created.
