I'm not wholly opposed to your idea but it does solve the second issue but indirectly.

  1. Some farmers get arrested/put out of business
  2. Other farmers can't hire/abuse immigrant labor (maybe set up a reward for every successful report)
  3. Farmers go out of business
  4. New farmers who use sustainable practices and give a damn about work conditions take root instead

Agreed, if someone was really concerned about "protecting jobs" they'd arrest the farmers that hire and abuse migrants.

Bit controversial but honestly deserved, most of those farms are growing water intensive crops AND only hire migrants so they can blackmail them for terrible wages.

Too little, too late.

Just mentioned SystemD in another post of mine.

In the case of GNOME they take their whole toolkit with them. Obviously you can switch DEs but it's still sad and annoying to see. From 5 years ago but still holds up: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/horrible-gtk3-gnome-ui-design-is-leaking-into-ubuntu-mate-applications-in-20-04/22028/58.

Obviously not blatant money/data harvesting like with big tech companies, but corporate strong-arming has been done on Linux (systemD) and can be done again. Granted it's much harder on Linux (in the case of my SystemD example there are distros like Void or Artix) but there is still a risk imo.

Take with a grain of salt because the steam hardware survey has historically had sample size issues.

Very nice to see, only worry is that Linux will get enshittified (primarily by the GNOME people).

Raspberry Pis these days are overpriced, a cheaper mini PC/old Optiplex will do fine.
