Not having them pretty much makes Debian a non-starter for many home users. It's a thing that one really only runs into when they get serious about using Linux.

Surprising no one who's ever had to work with it for longer than sixty seconds.
I've been in similar situations over the years with my partners. I recall two incidents where one of my partners was in the cardiac care unit and I had to sit in the lounge, on a call with my boss and team fixing something in prod and explaining why I shouldn't have been fired for leaving work to rush to the hospital.
If they could completely kill the Invidious project, they'd do so in a heartbeat.
If you're already rich as shit and don't have to worry about any consequences for anything you do, why not?
What have we learned? Much.
The real question is, what's changed because of it and how?
That's DHS.
NSA? Yes. CIA? Probably not. They don't have that kind of imagination. c.f., the internal parody of The Hunt for Red October they declassified about a decade ago.
Keep a sensor net on how the Linux subsystem in Windows evolves in the next couple of years.
Enough that it might crush the network for a while.
As BBSes go (because that's how the WELL started), 2700 active users is "holy shit" levels of success. That it's still online nearly 40 years later is unheard of.
Senior year of high school. I'd been losing weight for a couple of years and was now down to a point where athleticism of any kind was starting to be possible. I was late for gym class and didn't feel like running a mile as punishment for tardiness, so I decided to take a shortcut by not going all the way down to the end of the road to get to the field.
I vividly recall thinking to myself, "I'll just jump over that guardrail!"
My feet hooked the back of the guardrail, I flipped over it and landed hard. Broke my wrist.
