I for one have been in denial and probably won't switch away until it literally stops working. So, there's hope.

The word "just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your edit. The replacement for that dependency doesn't allow an extension to work as an ad blocker as effectively as the thing they are deprecating. This is deliberate.

I'm assuming the original post you replied to was meant to be a joke, since, like you pointed out, many or most people use RSA. I assume (using Occam's Razor) that is more likely than them not knowing that and intending their post at face value.

Woosh? (Probably)

They didn't mean the backdoor was (or was not) an accident. They meant the backdoor was implemented sloppily enough to be discovered and maybe that was not an accident (as in, he wanted it to be found, but still wanted to plausibly be seen as trying his best to keep those coercing him appeased)

But how is that a criticism of the Mac mini? All it does is give you purchasing flexibility (eg if you already own Apple kbd/mouse). It is like you are implicitly arguing that they should raise the price and include those components. But that would be bad for some consumers that already have those items and would help nobody because you can already buy those separately.

But in this context, desktop includes laptops. People still buy those.

I'm not sure that conclusion follows. There are many more potential future users than there are current users.

Your first sentence suggests you're disagreeing, but nothing you said after that is incompatible with anything gp said.

I think everyone always gets the direction right the first time. That's why, when it won't go in, and you rotate it 180, it still won't go in and you have to flip it back to the original direction to finally get it in.

My guess is you were burned more than shocked.

Only the April releases in even years are LTS
