While exceptions exist but the rule remains. How come Governments in Europe like France and the EU are talking about full switching to Linux and decentralized sovereign tech, meanwhile the US Government is in bed with corrupt corporatist companies like Palantir and using software to violate human rights with ICE and the surveillance state? Sure at local state levels niche parts of the US Gov may have an interest in userland FOSS but at the higher levels its just proprietary software and tyranny.also bonus, when are the FOSS lesbians on Mastodon going to start that anarcho communist revolution they keep talking about? You know the high heels battle? Because honestly the US is getting to shitty to endure and anyone who supports Lunduke is contributing to why this happens, because that's an unintended consequence of endorsing him. Now I admit I don't like the EU because its like a Government for Governments and the nuance is that all Governments are going down the path of age verification at an OS level and that sucks, but it doesn't change the fact that the US sucks the most and anyone ignoring politics like Lunduke is privileged to not have to worry about these things. Also he doesn't ignore politics because he supports genocidal zionism. He is not a classical liberal he is a war mongering zionist
>>108737092>Why is the US Government so evilthey are jewish
>>108737092Daily reminder most of flocks cameras were put up between 2020 and 2024. If the President had a D next to their name they'd be supporting literally all of the surveillance and censorship. We even see it now where when someone talks about censorship of right wing websites 'libs' just go "good. your fascist ideology deserves to be censored". You're not anti-censorship and anti-surveillance. You're just afraid it won't be your team doing it, fag.
>>108737092It has been happening all my life, every administration. It sounds like a dream to hear anywhere is taking steps to bring back privacy, but I can't beleive it until I see it, because everywhere I've seen has been decades of slowly moving north on the political compass regardless of if left or right are in power.
too obvious, please try again. hellos to Mandela street.
>>108737239DESU during the obummer years I was starting to be privacy schizo/anti government surveillance. Trump came in and I stopped caring.Not sure if I'm sympathetic to the trump regime or I really just stopped caring, didn't care either during the 4 years of Biden. I did have a problem with all the COVID measures but people have since stepped back realizing how retarded it was.At this point I can only look and realize I share nothing with the people tearing down flock cameras or those screeching about surveillance.
>>108737092These new companies moved in with trump. The NSA was bad before but now we have people with ideological objectives that are antithetical to the US
>>108737840>ideological objectives that are antithetical to the USCite someI'm curious.
>>108737092>How come Governments in Europe like France and the EU are talking about full switching to Linux and decentralized sovereign tech,My man, you are way too naive. Sure, they TALK about such things but you have to be a fool to believe they will. France is a massive surveillance state where members of the right ecoles are above the law. And they sure are. Priests are murderes and churches are burned in large number, but the depraved elite will not care as long as you don't touch them.In the UK, you are above the law if you are an oxbridge graduate which means most members of the parliament, judiciary, military and the civil service. So for all the failings of the grooming scandal or the Horizon scandal, they will never face justice for what they did and what they failed to do. Meanwhile, the rest of the peple will be kept under surveillance.
>>108737851Unchecked executive power.
>>108737092France limited encryptoion available to consumers to 56 bit for years after 128 bit was out you know fuck all. That is all gone now with the EU though. However the EU generally has made vastly better contributions to tech like GSM and ETSI and is infiitely better than anywhere else on earth now when it comes to privacy and consumer protection in tech.
>>108738351IDK how you can unironiclly say this when regional judges have been blocking shit nationwide.If anything the executive is weak at the moment.
