“What creators like Omotayo are doing looks good on the surface, [but] it is ethically wrong because the aim of such content is to generate more engagement and followers, which in turn result in wider fame and sponsorship deals for the creator,” Suraj Olunifesi, an associate professor and social media researcher at the University of Lagos, told Rest of World. “These creators should rather be called business people and not philanthropists.”
Olunifesi compared stunt philanthropy creators to Big Tech companies: They “may allow their platforms to be used for free, but they, in turn, exploit users’ data for profit.”
Any Debian based distro is not really good to recommend for newbies, I think most beginners should start with Nobara linux, OpenSuse or if the PC is just for browsing the web a immutable distro(OpenSuse MicroOS, Fedora kryptonite,Elementary os,… Etc).
Clarification: The reason I don’t recommend Debian is that the package manager break things frequently.
From the article:
Internet services in Bangladesh were shut on July 18 following violent clashes between the police and student groups. The students have been protesting a new policy that reserves a portion of government jobs for descendants of the country’s 1971 war veterans, who are predominantly supporters of the ruling party led by Sheikh Hasina. At least 110 people have been reported dead and thousands injured.
