It’s enabled by default when you login to windows with a Microsoft account, which they very rudely push on you and make it very difficult to login with a regular local account.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Not exactly true on Windows. BitLocker is enabled by default when signing in with an MS account, which is what I’ve done for nearly a decade and I think is the cause of my confusion. I’m just use to encryption being enabled by default and not having to think about it.
Wait wtf? You can just reset root password that easy? What’s even the point of having a password, if all of your data and info is so easily accessed if someone gets physical hold of the machine. I guess so software/remote hackers can’t get your stuff, but still. This seems wild to me, I dunno.
New to Linux so I’m sorry if I’m being ignorant, but it does seem crazy you can get access to a machine without the password.
Edit: Thanks for all the comments below! I guess I’ve been spoiled by BitLocker in Windows being enabled by default and not having to think of disk encryption. Appreciate everyone’s time and responses!

First time I’ve ever seen someone say something negative about FF/Mozilla. Care to expand?
What’s the use case for this? I’m drawing a blank
Drives me fucking mad. I’m convinced that a lot of articles just read other news outlets articles and regurgitate it.
There’s almost never source material cited. I agree, should be illegal.
Had a Casper for 10 years, it was great.
When it was time to replace it I did some research and landed on latex, because it holds up for a long time, is organic and hypoallergenic, and sleeps cool (I’m a hot sleeper).
Ended up buying from https://sleeponlatex.com based on reviews and their excellent return policy - best there is for latex as far as I could tell.
Very, very happy with it. It did take at least 2-3 weeks to adjust too, because it’s firm (even if you get a medium) - you sleep on top of it, not in it, meaning it doesn’t wrap around your body. 10/10 would recommend.
