Sadly election results prove every few years, that you are the only one seeking radical change.
~30-50% want extreme conservativism/capitalism.
~20-40% want everything as-is.
~30% want mild improvements like a really low UBI.
<5% want to get rid of oligarchs.
<.1% want to eliminate suffering.
Personally, i have never experienced problems while reading from USB sticks, but i have while writing. I have a 15+ years old USB2 stick and a new USB3.x stick. The USB2 stick writes with constant ~20MB/s, while USB3 is all over the place between 200MB/s and ~0.1MB/s. Unusable for me. For a while i used external HDDs and SSDs over USB3, as they somehow run without problems, but they are cumbersome and expensive.
Therefore i have switched to transfer files over the network (for large files i plug in Ethernet) using KDE connect. Unfortunately it can not send folders (yet), so i would .tar them before sending, and untar them after.
LocalSend would also be an option. Maybe that can do folders natively.
When your router's chips are made in China, flashed in China with closed source firmware and the money you pay goes to Chinese companies, then it's backdoored.
When your router's chips are made in China, flashed in China with closed source firmware and the money you pay goes to American companies, it's bulletproof.
Just open your "secure" "American" router and look where they are made and flashed. I bet it's not USA.
I am running BTRFS on multiple PCs and Laptops since about 8-10 years ago, and i had 2 incidents:
I am using BTRFS RAID0 since about 6 years. Even there, i had 0 issues. In all those years BTRFS snapshoting has saved me countless hours when i accidentially misconfigured a program or did a accidential rm -r ~/xyz.
For me the real risk in BTRFS comes from snapper, which takes snapshots even when the disk is almost full. This has resulted in multiple systems not booting because there was no space left. That's why i prefer Timeshift for anything but my main PC.
Tipps to prevent future accidents:
Mistakes are unpreventable due to our error-prone brains, but it is a choice to repeat them.
If the fertility rate remains below 2, it will become harder and harder to wage war. And if it femains below 2 long enough there will be nobody left to wage war (or die in it).
So please sacrifice your precious time, health and money for your future children. Do it for the love of war!
Those that do not vote don't seem to vote meaningfully different from voters.
This is to be expected, as non-voters either don't care to vote as they have their own problems, or have a general mistrust of the voting system. These traits are not specific to progressives or conservatives, so they don't skew the outcome meaningfully.
As much as i would like it, there is no 1/3 of the population that is made from antinatalist communists just waiting for the signal.
