It's the opposite, all them get a response. Even the stupid ones with a dozen signatures. It's usually along the lines of "Fellow Canadians, we've all read your petition and had a good laugh about it. Cheers."

0%. Governments don't do things because people signed a petition. In this case, I'm not even sure it's legally possible. Musk has a Canadian mother. He's Canadian by birthright.
Well...not exactly straight
The community really only had single digit users who claimed to be "conservative", but checking their profiles showed they were also downvote collectors and trolls. Seems like the admins of lemm.ee decided they no longer wanted this community being a safe haven for trolls and have removed the old mod.
One thing that happened recently that really showcases the difference between Linux and Windows is the glibc update that broke several popular video games. These games were specifically built to run on Linux. Ironically, games built to run only on Windows could still be ran on Linux just fine. That's because those games are run through a compatibility layer that translates the Windows instructions into their corresponding Linux instructions. The games built for Linux use Linux instructions directly, so they don't need a compatibility layer.
The update to glibc changed how some Linux instructions worked and so any program using the old instructions needed to update to the new ones. Lots of Linux programs are actively maintained or at least open source, so making the change isn't a big deal. Video games tend not to be open source or actively maintained after they're released, so some of these broken games will be broken forever. When that was reported to the maintainers of glibc, they responded that they don't care if they break unmaintained, closed source software. It is the user's fault for choosing to use such software.
To me, that is the biggest difference between Windows and Linux. If someone creates a program for Windows, that program will likely still work 10 years from now. If someone creates a program for Linux, it could break next week, and the people who broke it won't care. It's a bit embarrassing that programs created for Windows work on Linux more reliably than programs created specifically for Linux.
I left a job that required a college education and professional licence to work in a factory and it has been amazing. I feel like I was lied to. People told me go to school and get a job with a fancy title, but the pay was terrible and my bosses were worse.
People have done blue collar work dirty. I get paid more now than at my fancy job and my bosses treat me with respect because of the work union. The only difference is the reaction you get when you tell people your job title. I'd rather money and respect than a fancy title.

My understanding of Korean eating culture is that it's very much a social experience and food is always seen as something shared amongst everyone present. Wanting your own plate or eating by yourself would be seen as odd. I don't think I could ever get used to that!
At work, I purposely take my lunch at an odd time so that I can eat by myself. I've found that people want to make small talk if I eat with everyone else. I just want to eat! It's lunch time not talk time!
They're all fairly small though
That's Richard Stallman. He made FreeBSD which is a distro of Linux.
