The drop goes ever on and on
down from the peak where it began.
Now far along the drop has gone
and I must party, if I can,
watching it with eager eyes
as it crashes like a wave
where many yachts will capsize
and the tech bros won't be saved.

In fact I'd argue you're not even going far enough: it's even worse than that.
I did this with a Lenovo N42-20. Worked really well, I got a usable Debian machine with Xfce and great battery life.
Regardless of what you think about people having kids, I don't think there's anything wrong with being concerned for the well-being of people who haven't even grown up yet.
Developers don't have to be so arrogant. In fact stuff like this pushes other developers away too.
Not to mention from what I've heard GIMP just doesn't compare to the paid options for professional work.
At least it still loads if you turn javascript off.
It's not really the detector that I have a problem with here, it's the "reduce vaping incidents through social influence" part. Their plan (as I understand it) is to have a display outside the washroom to tell other kids that the person in the washroom is vaping and essentially get them to quit through public shaming, which is both cruel and ineffective. If the detector instead alerted teachers privately that there was someone vaping in the washroom then the teachers would deal with it appropriately, I think it could be okay.
My brother used to vape back in high school, and punishment never got him to stop, it just made him get more creative about how he hid it. When he eventually did quit after he graduated, he chose to because he knew it was harmful.
I've used Mullvad in the past and I use Proton now. It works well for me and afaik they're a pretty good company. I found that Mullvad was better, but I'm still using Proton because the email + storage make it better overall.
