I can’t help but feel the individual direct consequences to be like pretty small to the institutional risks.

Imagine China all of a sudden getting access to all the trade secrets of US companies that still ran MS. Imagine Russia gaining full access to all the government, health, educational data of every single US citizen. Or imagine something like the recent fuckup of google deleting the entire cloud of one financial institutions. Imagine MS to fuck up royally and all consumer facing computers in all banks to be broken for three weeks…

All of these are not immediately targeting the individual directly, but they can be extremely destructive to a nation or even globally as a whole.

My first Distro was OpenSuse. idk. even why anymore, but maybe already because of KDE. I just never got warm with Gnome and to me KDE feels easier to get a grasp off, when coming from windows.

The Egyptian government only is in power because of US and Israeli support. Sisi is a worse dictator than Mubarak and he knows he’ll get the Ghaddafi treatment if he is out of power.

The US on the other hand wants to be cucked. In particular the Dems want to be cucked as Bibi takes their money, their weapons and their dignity while openly endorsing the Reps.
