Yeah, but he can just pardon them.

It's absolute immunity for "core constitutional acts" and presumed immunity for every other official act.
The ruling also said trump can appeal rulings on if specific acts receive immunity, so they can overturn a ruling they don't like.
For legal reasons my answer is no.
Oh yeah, they're free to decide, I just disagree with them! I get the decision though, and if I were on charge of a large distro, I'd probably make the same choice (until plasma is on a normal release cycle)
Yeah, like I'm all in favor of having an opinionated design, but their dominance makes their bad decisions actively harm every other de. Stuff like refusing to compromise on cross-desktop protocols
Their whole attitude towards development is similar, down to not working with other dekstops and insisting on doing things the way that works best for them regardless if it's worse for the linux ecosystem overall.
Nah, GNOME is worse mostly because it's the default on a ton of distros, so them having this attitude actively get's in the way of cross-desktop development instead of just being annoying.
Yeah, KDE's basically at the point you don't need GNOME imo, it's so customizable you can make it basically look/function the same as GNOME without having to put up with GNOME's dumber decisions
Nobody hears about them shutting down oil factories, attention getting stuff is why those are talked about.
They never do any actual harm either, like Stonehenge was cornstarch, it'll all be gone the next time it rains. They paint the glass in front of paintings, not the paintings themselves.
Many European countries have better police, but the systemic critiques still hold. You just have functioning systems to mitigate their worst behavior. The us has something called qualified immunity, which effectively makes them immune from civil penalties.
To explain why many Americans don't like cops, here's some fun stories from the last few years:
Misissippi police buried 215 people in an unmarked mass grave, at least some of which were killed by cops. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/families-in-disbelief-after-hundreds-of-bodies-found-buried-behind-mississippi-jail
Crime dropped when the NYPD went on strike https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/02/opinion/half-the-police-force-quit-crime-dropped.html
Multiple studies have found police have a domestic violence rate significantly higher than average averagehttps://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2014/09/police-officers-who-hit-their-wives-or-girlfriends/380329/
The Los Angeles sheriff's department is run by violent gangs. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/06/06/the-la-county-sheriffs-deputy-gang-crisis
I mean yeah, but as long as they do it in dc, is there anything they could really do?
