    Just to add a slight counter to this, for some people Linux not being windows is enough. Many people don't remember this, but Microsoft showed us all what they are in the 90s.

    I don't trust even my own government. I'm not *more* worried about China messing with me. The NSA has more info on me that could potentially be used against me than Huawei. And I've never once seen a situation where the NSA d

    I do remember seeing the Afghan submarines off the east coast of Florida. Thank god we got there in time to put a stop to it. Remember when we intercepted their intercontinental missiles that they launched from Kabul towards Houston?
