My approach is to have a hidden OS. Either via a hidden bootmenu, or better yet transparently boot into a virtualized guest by default. With secure boot and encryption, things can be made hard for anyone to actually examine the drive out of

It's about not putting your data in the hands of a US company. Collaboration can be managed by offline servers that facilitate that. Not everything needs to be in a web page.

I think dogs like Chaser show in general the upper limit for dogs, at least demonstrated so far, is much higher than that of pigs. It can be hard to compare the two since we can't compare their intelligence overall as one thing, but ha
