"For decades, the Left have been fine with the judiciary handing down decisions they agreed with, and even managed to get chunks of their agenda implemented through the court's activist decisions"
TL;DR "When we do it it's responsible law, when they do it it's judicial activism."

People who think nothing of intercepting net hardware, adding spy-tech components and sending them on their way are hardly the ones to be saying to the private sector," Patch your Sh*t."

Both my son who is 20 and a friend/co-worker of mine have installed and are using Linux for themselves. My friend was/is a Windows user and my son has never used anything other than Chromebooks.
My friend is now using Blender and PrusaSlicer on a decade-old ThinkPad to run his 3D printer and my son is using his $200 bargain laptop to play retro games on Steam. Both required very minimal assistance from me, who has been using Linux every day since 2012.
Also, my wife's computer has been Linux since I bought it for her, first Kubuntu and now Debian with KDE Plasma. Loves it and has needed minimal help using it in almost three years. She is not tech savvy in any way.

There's a long-held opinion of some in the American aerospace industry that Boeing began it's decline after their acquisition of McDonnell-Douglas, I heard one person describe it thus,
"Boeing changed from an engineering company into a corporate finance company that occasionally spits out an airplane."
I'm paraphrasing here, but I don't think that's far from the mark considering their much more deadly and public failures of late.
