The market can stay irrational far longer than you can stay solvent.

Not voting is a vote for the winner by default. I highly doubt that every single person that didn’t vote did so due to being unable to.

For a public infrastructure, unattended remote updates are a vulnerability. This is clearly and openly explained in the article.

Especially for countries where vast majority of workforce commutes using said infrastructure. A single uncontrolled update could cripple not just transportation, but every other public service.

The Chinese model featured a SIM card that allowed the manufacturer to remotely install software updates that made it vulnerable, whereas the Dutch model did not.

Everything you needed to know was openly stated in the article. But you love riding that imaginary tall horse of yours.

A naive answer:

Replace “Lemmy” with a “Nazi manufactured gun”.

A less naive answer:

Consider various meanings “use” takes in your question and decide accordingly.

First, Omarchy doesn’t need funding or partners. It’s backed by a Nazi multimillionaire.

Second, the whole apolitical argument is bullshit. Everything is political. Support for a distro that doesn’t really need support by nature of being a child of a Nazi multimillionaire is a support for that Nazi multimillionaire.

“We didn’t support them because of that” means nothing. The support still sends a message. Just like artist loses control over interpretation of their art the moment they release it, people lose control over interpretation of their actions the moment they act. Does it sound fair? Maybe not, but it’s how reality works.

Estonia is not the target of comparison here.

PS: When you read „country A is renting prisons in country B”, your first reaction should be „what the fuck is going on in country A”, not „what’s wrong with prisons in country B”. The fact that it wasn’t tells a lot about your character.

They are too busy renting prisons in Estonia.

This is one of those times when the attempt to address the wrong part of a statement immediately goes into Ackermann-like recursion.

The only irony present is the pretense of validity of the supposed contradiction.
