It has less to do with people than with jurisdiction. The US administration can demand to do this or that on US soil and the maintainer, owner, programmer has little chance to do otherwise if he/she does not want to end in the prison. Hence, my opinion to choose distro with as least as possible influence by the US.

No. SUSE has ties in the US. There are many in the list which are not totally off the US, because either several servers or maintainers or their main distro (Arch, Ubuntu, Slackware, Gentoo, RedHat) is located in the US or has strong ties in the US. The few in the list which may stand out a bit are VoidLinux (community based and mainly in Europe), Crux (community, mainly Europe, but this distro is a tough one), and Alpine (small group mostly in Europe). With Kali I am not sure. If you won’t stay outside the US, have safety, but sacrifice new hardware, look also at OpenBSD.

AFAIK depends OpenSUSE on the company SUSE, which - though based in Germany - has partners and hence ties in the US.

Well, apparently I communicate sufficiently in English for you to address my points accordingly. And it also shows a certain mental poverty, especially a lack of self-reflection, not just to nitpick infantile grammatical errors, but also to stick your nose into things where you know you’ll get virtually slapped. But as I already mentioned: I can’t turn donkeys like you into a racehorse. This mental effort, if possible for you at all, should come from you.

…. before your miserable existence.

You should not be looking into the mirror too long. It seems that you got a pretty brain damage.

Please take a look at these articles:

Le Monde

The Cyber Voice

And even the Moscow Times

You are right. I cannot make race horses out of donkeys like you two are. Write this sentence on a mirror so that you both are reminded each day.

Certainly, the Russian system was and is totally a hierarchical system based on- like everywhere - on power and influence (both intermingle). But this does not exclude that there are very wealthy people in Russia who are funding the war, being it because they are forced to (I hardly believe) or because they make profit out of it. Don’t you think so?

Don’t need. You?

Ah, great idea for progress in English, they have. Not only ‘the’ for all sexes, but ‘they’ for all, now they say. Great idea they have, yes. 🤣

Please, correct it you want to say, then ‘it’ say, you must 😂

Ah, ByteJunk, one person it is not, many, it is. Got it. But how they decide what to comment, hmm? Take much time, it must 😂

Are you ByteJunk? Is ByteJunk a name for a group of people or why do you say « they »?

Do you say the same thing about Russian billionaires funding the war against Ukraine?

But that is the reason for templates, no?

Please signature the email with “Sincerely, <your name> and <name of the AI you used to write this email>”. Otherwise people get very suspicious when they meet you in persona and you come along differently than in your email.

Don’t tell that you need so much time to write an email 😳

You can set up your own MySQL instance with an encrypted database where you keep all passwords and joined information. Using any programming language you can either set up an app with a GUI yourself where you query your passwords or use queries directly in MySQL. I understand when you ask now for what all that hassle, but at least you have a bit more control of your data and there is not a potential company behind or a code fragment which may inform the company about any actions. BTW, you may learn some coding, so it can be fun too.

Maybe we have misunderstood. My point is not ending up like Don Quixote fighting against windmills. The more extreme a person becomes in their views, even when personally justifiable or honorable, the fewer people will accept this view. The crux is to find the so-called « golden mean », which is essentially a balance between different views. This also means including to some extent views, which may be not favoured, but helpful to get more people into the boat.

Good luck on your way!

the Linux kernel and its applications are majorly backed and developed by american companies and their employers.

And this is the problem, considering that Linux has been written by Linus Torvalds, a European. The base and the majority of developers should have remained in Europe, but unfortunately a mistake has been done.
