So you see...up to a certain point it's kind of our own fault too

I'd love to, but I can't. Colonialism's 'Divide and conquer' rule is only applicable and effective if the targets are either willingly in the game (i.e., corrupt enough to collaborate) already relatively divided (i.e. Already fragmented enough), or stupid enough not to realise what's being done to them.

I don't want to be that person either, but I really don't think that Sykes is personally to blame for Britain's shitty policies in and for the Middle East, the consequences of which still play a major role in the mess the region still is. Point being that, besides Gringoland, Britain should also be held accountable for the role they have played around the world in everything from ethnic cleansing all the way to supporting brutal, even murderous, dictatorships.

My thoughts exactly. I really hope they don't mess that up.

Can you explain why you find the suggestion so outrageous ? I'm not advocating a 35 year old woman dating a 15 year old boy. I'm only saying that biology matters.

Regarding the last part of your comment, a dude called Christopher Simon Sykes, whose last name you might recognise, wrote a book called 'The man who created the middle East'. It's a biography of his grandfather, and an attempt to vindicate him.

You can argue all you want about TPM and its 'security'. I ALWAYS thought that forcing users to use TPM 2+ hardware is planned obsolescence and nothing/no one will convince me otherwise.

The only thing affected users can and should do is to leave that PoS of an 'operating system'.

Yea. That is THE one reason why I'd never touch GrapheneOS as long as it only runs on Pixel hardware.

I know this will most probably be an unpopular opinion, but as someone who was born and raised in Central America, I have never understood why these countries are separate countries.

I don't see LibreCMC (https://librecmc.org/) mentioned anywhere in this thread, so correct that.

Unlike Open WRT, LibreCMC is recognised by GNU to be a fully free Linux distribution, and you still get the time-honoured LuCi web administration interface.

LibreCMC runs on much fewer devices as OpenWRT, which can be a feature for those who are overwhelmed by the length of OpenWRT's list.

WTAFF is that supposed to be anyway?
