As a trans person, would you rather go to a beach where nobody is armed, or to a beach where everybody might be armed?

That is in the books too. It's called a "Seldon crisis", where the Foundation has only one possible way forward as means of keeping it close to the original plan.
And vice versa - you can run commands on your computer from your phone. Handy when you're in bed but remember that you forgot to turn the computer off.
Why would you do anything? It still works, so keep using it. Changing the OS just because you can sounds like a really bad idea to someone who's been using the same thing for 11 years (and I'm a Linux user so no pro-Apple bias here). It sure sounds like she's not the greatest fan of change.
And also, as already said by many other comments, an 11 year old laptop is about the opposite of planned obsolescence.
It's a trade-off, so it depends on both how good the pay is and how opposed the company is.
I'm currently working for a crypto company, and have worked for other similar ones in the past, and these all tend to be libertarian types which I don't agree with, but they pay well.
On the other hand, a previous employer tried to get Saudi Aramco as a client, and I made it clear that I would not support this. Fortunately those talks didn't come anywhere.
So yes, there's certainly a line.
Still. It will remove a talking point from the "democrats have the majority but they still won't pass , so you better vote for republicans" people. When all democrats but those two voted for it, and all republicans voted against it.
KDE Connect is awesome. I've been using it since it first came out (I think it was a GSoC project) with a variety of phones, and am 100% happy with it.
BTW, about the naming, KDE stopped the K thing around KDE 4, with apps such as Cantor.
The medical conditions might be more realistic in House, but the process and behavior of people certainly aren't.
It's similar with programming on TV. If you look at Mr. Robot, all the hacking methods and computer jargon are really accurate, down to KDE vs. GNOME rivalry, but the plot is total fantasy and nobody behaves as real programmers do. On the other hand, Silicon Valley is more like scrubs - the software is made up, it's a comedy, but the story and people are 100% realistic (except better dressed, since it's still Hollywood).
It's not about the book, it's not even about sexuality. Yes these are the justifications they use, but at the core it's all about finding someone they can hurt, and they found you. The cruelty is the point.
You don't know many gardeners then. Try making a single step in their cabbage patch.
Coincidentally, another group who should be treated as humans but aren't.
Except the time when Rogozin was in charge, at least.
