This comes as Canada contemplates a mixed fleet of F-35 and Saab Gripen fighter jets, along with GlobalEye aicraft. Saab's pitch includes this concept of data sovereignty:
''Gripen data will also be housed here, securely within Canadian borders," Saab spokesperson Sierra Fullerton said. "With the fighter mission system, communications, and technical data all hosted in Canada, Gripen exceeds all industrial, security, and controlled goods requirements. With Gripen, the Royal Canadian Air Force will have full, independent control over aircraft, software, and sensitive data.''
the gripen also has a much lower total cost of ownership. As ukraine demonstrate, and now Iran, real local control of a region will be hyper local and filled with low cost drones. Expensive and high maintenance weapons are essentially first strike and regional defense.
CBC/Radio-Canada investigation reveals Netherlands accounts hired voice actors to front 'faceless' YT channels that propagate ''slopaganda'' aimed at Canadians.
Related discussion of a recently demised Caltech researcher, since the House Oversight Committee thinks there might be a link to other deaths and disappearances:
Mental health and wellness issues in high tech research and development are everywhere. I would suggest that you focus on the product and what it can/cannot do for you.
Suggest away. It’s still a factor in my decision making, because if I can’t trust the developers to behave well, i can’t trust the product to continue to do what it says it can do for me.
Destroying the signing keys in the midst of a hostile takeover is the responsible thing to do. Its for the safety of their users. Thats a commendable trait to have.
Same, which is why I'm glad he deleted the signing key in this case. It was the only right play given the situation. I'd have done the same and I'd expect anyone with integrity to do likewise.

So you'd be willing to give up Linux because Linus cannot stop verbally abusing people to this day? Because that's what I did. I decided that any project where the main dev(s) openly abuse people in public, is the line I draw.
I know that is an extremely controversial choice that many people will disagree with, but it's my choice to make and I don't regret it.
I trust you didn't mean it that way, but it's totally improper to go to speculations about mental health in response to discussions about communication styles and maturity.
While I appreciate the second line and think it's generally the right answer with FOSS projects, your speculation poisons the well.

That quotation is from another comment in this discussion. Sadly, it is the sort of personal attack on his mental state that has been commonplace here at HN and elsewhere for a long time. I caution all to avoid such commentary. My long experience in tech r&d has firmly convinced me that mental health and wellness challenges are widespread, and should not be weaponized. I hope that clarifies my comment for you.
His anthropological views raised more questions than answers, challenging us to ponder just how far modern humankind had progressed from our days of living in caves and hovels, dressed rudimentally in animal hair. His conclusions could be arbitrary, but nevertheless provocative.
''Textbelt is a no-nonsense SMS API built for developers who just want to send SMS. Thousands of customers prefer Textbelt over other SMS providers for our ease of setup, simple, predictable pricing packages, and personal support. ''
The self-hosted version of this project seems to rely on email-to-sms gateways, which many carriers have started to shut down [1]. Do you know if it's still reliable? It looks like the last commit was 2+ years ago.
The article contains a passage that indicates the contract was inked four years ago and that the U.S.A. subsequently informed Switzerland that the conditions for fulfilling the contract had changed. So, your suggested title doesn't work.
