I enjoyed a lemmy moment in the thread about things the Canadian government needs to do to not be as dependent on the US and the first bullet point in a comment was switch to Linux
a lot of governments did that after the whole thing with Ed Snowden….
for one: the US puts backdoors in all sorts of software… has been doing it for years….
for two: software is a pretty big part of how governments do things.
for three: doesn’t matter until they start making their own microchips….
