Not to mention that talking about 'the major players in desktop Linux' is completely against what the OS ethos was supposed to be about; he said the quiet part out loud, and people strike back; it is only fair.

He also said[1]:

We don't have the time

And then he said[2]:

If you want to change that, better volunteer yourself :)

Rather, I think he's saying the loud part out loud. OSS can have an opinion, and you're free to modify it to suit your own opinion.

Once logged in, go to account security. There is no facility to add 2 factor auth. (as of Feb 2023)

Compromising someone's registrar account and hijacking their domain(s) can have serious commercial consequences. I'd love to hear 123-reg's excuse for still not implementing 2FA.

Is there a way to disuade users from blindly trusting responses? Such as unavoidable caveats, make no attempt to provide depth and instead strongly recommend reliable research?

And as a logical aside: if AI can't be trusted, we shouldn't trust AI's recommendations for reliable sources either.

The greed and selfishness of my managers are significant factors in determining who I want to work for/with. And why I'm so grateful I can work with people I am friends with outside of work.

But I understand this is difficult, even impossible, to know during the interview process.
