People like to riot if they can get away with it. Sports riots have happened for decades. Don't blame the economy for thugs.
The way to stop that sort of "recreational riot" is overwhelming force ruthlessly applied. Destroy the enemy. They deserve the sort of beatdown they'll remember in the future.
Rioters in the West are fucking yobs who don't have an agenda other than destruction. They loot for fun. They are public enemies, not victims of the state.
Rename them as video or mp3 files, mix with real video or mp3 files, and use a DVD. That way casual inspection won't indicate the files are not what they seem since you cannot rename files on read-only media.
A few cosmetic scratches for effect wouldn't hurt either.
"In that instance, it would be much harder to prove you have been bypassing the filter since your computer itself won't have these cache files, cookies and other misc traces on the hard drive,"
Use a live CD and leave your hard disk untouched. Do searches etc using your hard disk whose traces make you look innocent.
You can conceal a live CD/DVD by burning the live content as a boot image then filling the rest with music or video.
"Sounds like citizens of Turkey need to take a more active role in government."
They are doing just that, which is the problem. Democracy is fine, but don't delude yourself that it can't also be used by an Islamist people to produce Islamist government. Consider democratic Iran.
You wouldn't have been correct thirty years ago, but as the Kemalists lose power Turkey will turn into another Iran. Muslims do not produce secularist democratic governments suitable to integration with the West.
"f you want a messaging infrastruture that people can use and not feel like someone is deciding who else in the world is going to listen in, then"...you use encryption.
"People are losing their homes and livelihoods to these thugs"
The victims also have no legal right to effective self-defense because there is no practical unarmed self-defense against a mob.
If someone came to torch my home in the US, I would be well within my rights to kill them on the spot and the world would be a better place for their passing.
Good job. Teachers are paid to provide a service and should be crushed if they choose to abuse their power. Tenure should not exist. Do your job or get fucking shitcanned.
I worked for a community college after retiring from the Air Force. The educational world is amazingly fucked up, the process is more important than performance, and I now view many of its processes with scorn and contempt.
As long as the bosses sell enough seats to keep sweet monies flowing from Uncle Sugar they are content. The idea of properly matching students to studies which might result in actual fucking employment is barely considered. Keep that Pell Grant harvesting machine running!
Students: Learn how to negotiate the system. It's a game, like the rest of life. Play it with utter cynicism but be outwardly sweet and friendly until you need to be otherwise. Trust no one, and make sure you are the most informed consumer possible.
"You bought an HP TouchPad early on and now youâ(TM)re fuming over recent price cuts? HP hears you, and they want to sooth your wounded ego, so theyâ(TM)re going to give you $50 of credit for the App Catalog. How cool is that?"
Not cool enough for me to give a shit. Let the early adopters fume if they like. I'll not be buying an HP.

"That's the only explanation I could see."
But you aren't rioting. Never project your thought processes onto other people.
People enjoy rioting. They riot over sports teams, even when theirs WON. Some classes of people just like to break shit and loot.
It happens enough that you and no one else should be the least bit surprised.
Because they dislike that user base and would find it lulzworthy?
Never underestimate the combination of skill, malice, and boredom!

There was good reason the LA riots didn't spread to Red States in any meaningful way. Don't think the locals won't shoot or don't know how.
Unlike places where one is taught that victims have no value and that the thugs are the real "victims", we don't buy that nonsense.

It figures. Ataturk's vision was always in conflict with the real culture of Turkey, and that culture is why it should never be allowed in the EU.

Which faction is supporting this?
"Anybody care to prove me wrong?"
If you were wrong, considerable immigration would flow in the opposite direction.
It does not.
Do without all three for two weeks then let us know how those priorities rank.

You know that and I know that, but the idea sure makes some folks feel good.
For as long as Jesus tells Bible Thumpers that eating Corporate Anus is a ticket to Heaven.
Who needs KDE to use Linux?
Desktops are like browsers. When their developers are overcome by hubris one can always jump ship to something else.
Use a couple-three different desktops and you'll always be ready as well as more flexible.
"We will miss X greatly. Why this push lately to screw up the Linux desktop, anyway?"
Because Shiny Change is Progress and Refinement is Boring.
"Is it really necessary to run the same display server on your phone and your desktop?"
What desktop? The world will soon be nothing but smart phones and servers. (runs)
