Who becomes obscenely rich in these gangs, people that ask for money on the streets? Obviously in big cities with a lot of tourist traffic there bound to be criminal organisarions that try to monetize suffering.

I try to give a bit of money, reasons like they are going to spend it on *bad thing* aren't for me to judge or evaluate and people don't become rich from begging on the streets. There is also a bit of a hope that someone will give me a bit of money if situation will reverse once.
Announcements (especially from trump) provide nothing
Not exactly barbecue, but eating meat cooked on coals somewhere outside is pretty popular in my corner of eastern europe.
A lot of the prominent members of ~~terrorist~~ paramilitaries that later formed tzahal were from r*ssian empire a lot of theorists as well, specifically from territory of modern Ukraine mostly due to "pale of settlement" policy of the empire. I think that's what gp hinted at (don't know what language they spoke predominantly, mostly yiddish I think).

More like those normal people don't get what the story was about or didn't even read it.
What DE or WM (and distro if relevant) do you use for your actual, professional work?
KDE/Arch
Was this a choice by you or pre-selected by the employer? Do they allow you to work on your own device if desired? (Excluding freelancers obv.)
Choice was made by me (everyone except one person at the time was running arch with kde as well 🙃). Yeah, bringing your own device was allowed as long as disk was encrypted.
Do you need to balance stability vs. customisability? Or is that a no-brainer for you? (="Have you ever had to cancel a meeting because an Arch update broke your screen sharing?")
No, this never happened to me with work machine, arch is extremely simple to maintain as long as you follow simple procedure of reading news and keeping out-of-repos packages to minimum.
How much time do you find reasonable to put into maintaining/developing your setup?
Maintaining - up to an hour a week. Developing - dunno, I haven't changed things since kde 5 - 6 transition and it was a small change as well.
Did distro choice (or lack thereof) impact your choices for DE/WM?
Who knows, probably not.
Do you feel like your code editor, language stack, or job profile has an impact on the choices? For example, is your profile very specific ("I go to dailies and turn tickets into code / I work alone for weeks at a time researching stuff"), allowing you to optimise the setup further?
Well, emacs has some impact on my ~~psyche~~ worldview probably. 😄
Someone with a gun can just murder you outright with you having no way of defending against it. It doesn't make guns something that's beyond understanding. Same with anything that can damage another person.
Why would they need to keep secrecy and who exactly is going to get them into psych? People can deal with a child, and magic in harry potter universe is reversible and not permanent for the most part. There are multiple new families with magical children every year and they don't recieve any guidance as well, yet they manage somehow without being assholes for the most part.
Is it compatible with openra?
Article text feels like something in between ad and ai slop.
I sincerely hope that these announcements will become actions.
