The US is edging up to a place where the it will become a defacto terrorist state that has overplayed it's hand in such a way that forces every other country to develop it's own internal sovierign comunications networks that never communicate with outside entities directly. Worldwide, including the US, public sentiment is that privacy and indipendence have been destroyed by american technology. The authoritarian/fashist and often zionist forces are hated and resisted with a grim carefull determination by populations that have less and less time, for anything else.

It's pretty clear that Linux, or even BSD, is the way forward. My concern at this point is what the picture will look like with embargoes around software development and FOSS -- we saw this with the Russian devs contributing to Linux being cut off a few years back, though it's possible that LLM's will make this point moot very shortly.

It is possible, but it would be like suicide bomber blowing itself. Spectacular show once, but can't repeat it.
