You forget the other side of the coin with using a rolling distro like Arch - you more or less have to keep updating the system a couple of times per week, especially if you want to be able to install new packages with a lot of dependencies.

Not saying I personally have any problems with it, but it's worth mentioning when talking about how quick and easy it is to update the system (which it truly is)... ;-)

No, it was explicitly called out as a flaw:

You would have to do it between the camera and the data centre, so yes, still possible, but doing it at a later date would be very hard.

Hear hear. Knowledge should be communicated in an easily shareable way that can also be archived as easily, in contrast to a video requiring hundreds of MB:s.

Venezuela was sanctioned because of human rights abuses, corruption, and actions undermining democracy under the Maduro government.

Now replace Venezuela with USA, Marduro with Trump and read this sentence aloud. You americans sure like pointing fingers at socialism as being the root of all evil, but ask yourself how your own country is doing at the moment.

A majority of your citizens cannot afford basic healthcare (a human right according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 25) without catastrophical economic side-effects that may haunt them for the rest of their lives, due to Republican politics, and you have a president that is trying to speedrun your country into an authoritarian government where free speech is no longer allowed, unless it appeals to the president.

Venezuela's system is not owned by workers but by the state - oil - and a few companies, is state capitalism.

This means that the state of Venezuela is free to decide how to use their own natural resources, the price of it and how to distribute the revenue to enrich the country. In contrast, allowing private companies to do so always ends up in foreign actors taking control over the country's resources with little to no regard for long-term sustainability. History has many examples on foreign states (many times USA) overthrowing governments in such countries in order to priviatize exploitation of natural resources for their own financial gain.

You might want to read about how Eisenhower did this in Guatemala back in 1953, using CIA to launch a covert propaganda operation with the mission to oust the socialist government and criminalize socialist ideology by arresting his supporters, politicians and union leaders in order to ensure that the american company United Fruit could continue exploiting the country into ruin:

200,000 Guatemalans were killed in the process!

The fact that they do not store any customer data was put to the test in 2023, when the Swedish police raided their offices and left with nothing.

They also spend a lot of time and resources into researching and advancing technology around measured boot and running as much as possible in memory, without having to use disk storage.

It might explain Trump but not necessarily the people advising him on which decision to make.

That fox witch sticker is awesome, where did you get it?
