People have already given direct answers, and the indirect answer of ‘set up regular automated backups’ (which everyone should set up right now if they haven’t already), but for the sake of throwing another option out there, people could take a look at ‘trash-cli’: https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli
(P.S. I know OP might not have actually deleted the files with ‘rm’, but this addresses a broadly similar issue.)
I think it’s worth emphasising here: Don’t put it off!
There are millions who can tell you from experience that good intentions count for nothing when it comes to backups.
I’d recommend going and setting up Timeshift right now: https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift
It’s easy to set up, it takes literally 10 minutes, and if you decide later you want to use something else, you can just uninstall Timeshift and delete its backups. But in the meantime you’ll be protected with backups.
It’s literally the first thing I install on a new system and it’s saved me multiple times from having to do a complete reinstall.
Is that unusual?

I came looking for this in the comments. So unexpectedly good!
This post breaks Rule 3, FYI. From the sidebar:

Looking for a community?

- sub.rehab: maps old subreddits to fediverse options, marks official as such
- [email protected]: a community for finding communities
The minotaur/labyrinth design is cool, but it feels stylistically disconnected from the background
where the port is rotated 180 degrees so the push is between the plug and the back of the screen
That ought to be a crime! I would be getting fed up with that pretty quickly and making some improvised modifications to disable the retention clips!
a plug that claws itself in place
Just FYI, you can get DP cables without the retention clips. I too find them unnecessary and annoying.
I never came across that subreddit! On a quick search I found there is a direct equivalent in the form of [email protected] . It’s not very active but there’s only one way to change that! There might be another community that’s more active and basically the same thing, but, like I said, I only did a very quick search, just to see if there was a community with a directly corresponding name.
Here’s some other communities you might be interested in, though, that I grabbed from my subscriptions list:
FYI, there is a community, [email protected], if anyone here is interested in this kind of thing.
Hey, this community is for general questions to users of Lemmy, not questions about Lemmy, or questions to the Lemmy developers.
See the rules in the sidebar, particularly:

You can try over at [email protected], but your best bet to find this kind of information is probably taking a look at the GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+mastodon

Go ask a chimpanzee 😆
Okay, so forgive the glib answer, but yeah, obviously on the macro level our genetic differences with the other apes contribute massively to our difference in intelligence with them.
At the micro level - i.e. between individual humans - my understanding is that the evidence also suggests that genetic variations lead to variation in intelligence (of course, as mentioned by other commenters, the usual caveats of how exactly you define and measure intelligence apply.)
Researchers found that the IQ of children adopted at birth bore little correlation with that of their adoptive parents, but strongly correlated with that of their biological parents. What’s more, this association became stronger as the children grew older.
In fact, hundreds of studies all point in the same direction. “About 50 per cent of the difference in intelligence between people is due to genetics,” he says.
Although each gene associated with intelligence has only a minuscule effect in isolation, the combined effect of the 500-odd genes identified so far is quite substantial. “We are still a long way from accounting for all the heritability,” says Plomin, “but just in the last year we have gone from being able to account for about 1 per cent of the variance to maybe 10 per cent.”

The longitudinal Academic Development Study of Australian Twins (ADSAT) is the first project of its kind in Australia and has amassed revealing data on 2,762 twin pairs, 40 triplet sets and 1,485 non-twin siblings. Using the National Assessment Program: Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN), and regular parent surveys, it has given researchers a unique picture of the behaviours and demography that contribute to educational achievement – and the extent to which our genes influence them.
Genetic differences among students are the single biggest influence on differences in literacy and numeracy standing and growth, accounting for half or more of that variability across tests and across time.
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.
This is always the case, no matter what OS you use, unless you use full-disk encryption. User credentials are all just data on a disk, so if someone has physical access to your machine, and your disk isn’t encrypted, then they can access (and change) those credentials or any other data.

What’s even the point of having a password
As you say, preventing remote access is one, but also a password will slow someone down a bit, and stop low-knowledge adversaries entirely, possibly. Also you will at least know someone has messed with your machine if they change the password.
Really, though, there’s nothing malicious someone can do to an unencrypted computer by changing the password that they couldn’t do without changing the password (copy all your files, delete all your files, install malicious software). Except I guess annoying you by making you change your password back. 😆
‘Multi-Account Containers’: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers
With it, you can open tabs in different ‘containers’, which have their own set of cookies, etc… So, for example, you can be logged into two accounts for the same website, just in different containers, or keep all your shopping accounts in one container (and set those sites to always open in that container) to reduce tracking and targeting.
