I am sure this is the case and that US history of coups in countries of the Global South has absolutely nothing to do with any potential sentiments there. Thinking non-Westerners can't think for themselves isn't helping sentiments

Except 'probable cause' means that the search was in 'good faith' which is my understanding basically makes the officers involved practically immune, (even if you're awarded damages say), and at the very least makes

It comes from it attacking Taiwan unprovoked, but there's no need for large U.S. presence for that to already not be attractive as it would be a huge blow for China in the economic realm and even include the Global South. On the other

Software and hardware freedom are inseparable. If you can't install free software because proprietary software locks you out, it doesn't matter that KDE is amazing nowdays. Hence why free software i.e. Libreboot, free firmware etc
