Something adjacent to degoogling: I am concerned that Microsoft would collaborate with the Trump Regime. I never used Linux before, but I am now downloading Ubuntu. It feels like that I should do a dual-boot setup and get ready to abandon Windows if I hear about MS HQ in Washington having a DOGE presence.
Here's hoping that Europe and the Blue States are watching Microsoft for anything weird.
Yes, Microsoft has no qualms about bending to governments, same with all other corporations.
Entirely plausible. Almost all civilian federal systems are Microsoft powered. They'd do anything to not squander that contract, I'm sure.
