Do you mean the 2016 demonetisation? It was allegedly aimed at reducing counterfeit notes, and involved removing the largest value notes in circulation and replacing them with new notes at a 1:1 exchange. It failed to stop counterfeiting, and resulted in at least 80 deaths, 15 lakh job losses and a measurable fall in GDP growth.

What's OC?
Adult cats are also lactose intolerant.
It really depends on who your friend is, and who they are trying to defenf against.
If the US ( or Russian / Chinese) government really wants to access an internet-connected device, they can do it; what app you are using doesn't even matter. For example, most people use the default Google keyboard, which could be compromised.
If the concern is about local goons / employers / coworkers, then both Telegram and Signal are more than enough to stop them prying.
As for whether to use Signal or Telegram, Signal has end to end encryption enabled by default, while in Telegram you have to switch it on for each chat. On the other hand, Telegram has the best UI among messaging apps hands down.
Debian already has an ARM version. Do you mean some Qualcomm drivers are missing? There are already Ubuntu ROMs for Android phones, so this shouldn't be an issue, right?
It's the same strategy used by the Spanish inquisition. Who's a witch?
The Spanish Inquisition was aimed at heretics (Jews, Protestants and Muslims), not witches.
It messes up object arrangement. This is technically Microsoft's fault, but that doesn't help when you want to communicate clearly with a MS Office user.
Petro is from Colombia. Columbia is in Canada.
LibreOffice has more features and is overall better. OnlyOffice is more compatible with MS Office. So if you need to use docx etc. for work, you use OnlyOffice as a workaround.
When modern-day Ukraine was formed in 1990, it was majority Ukrainian, but with a sizable Russian (and smaller Romanian and Polish) minority. Over the next twenty or so years, this minority voted for parties and politicians that favoured stronger ties with Russia. In contrast, ethnic Ukrainians supported joining (or at least aligning with) the EU. This conflict came to a head in 2014, when the pro-Russian government was overthrown by pro-EU protestors. Relations between the two groups have worsened since then, leading to pro-Russian militants seizing power in the (Russian majority) Donbass and Crimea, and joining Russia.
People can have whatever opinion on whether the shooter was right or not. But the person who modified a gun, shot his target thrice in the middle of a city, left a James Bond style message on the bullets, and rode off into the sunset without leaving a single clear photo on any nearby camera is obviously not the man who got arrested eating a meal in broad daylight with a gun and a written confession conveniently packed in his bag.
I'll just post this here and get some popcorn.

Counterpoint: advanced chips aren't as important geopolitically as people think.
Older chips are more than enough for missiles and drones, so there's no military advantage.
There is an industrial advantage in things like datacentres and big data analysis, but older chips can do these things if you put enough of them together and give them enough electricity.
Bleeding edge chips shine in consumer electronics, but WW3 isn't going to start over whether Huawei Mate 69 Pro or Samsung S42+ is superior.
