What has the US government actively done to harm FOSS? Last I knew they contributed to and maintained several high profile FOSS projects. The NSA maintains Ghidra and other US agencies fund and contribute to tor.

Also while I do agree that the NSA is more likely to approach US based organizations and US citizens to include back doors willingly it doesn't stop them from attempting to covertly get back doors in place. Additionally let's not pretend like the US 3 letter agencies don't have agreements in place with their European counter parts to do cross border shenanigans. It's known that they do.

Genuine curiosity, why power shell?

I'm not sure I see the urgency? Plenty of organizations in the US love free software, OSU wouldn't be providing hosting if they didn't. Additionally most of Europe isn't exactly a bastion of privacy. There are certainly exceptions, notably Switzerland but the majority isn't that much better if you ask me. I'm also not entirely sure how privacy is all that relevant to where websites and source code is hosted, these projects aren't storing personal information. I think the important thing is that these projects are hosted and that funding is found. Where they're hosted is mostly irrelevant.

My machine says that network is unreachable

I'm surprised we don't all need help from the JS creator given the insanity of that languages type coercion system.

I guess I just feel like if you're manually configuring BTRFS you'll either use it like a regular FS, or you'll set it up to make use of the features in which case you'll probably setup both automatic snapshots and cleanup. Possibly with auto scrubbing too. I don't really see a situation where someone who manually opts to use it sets up snapshotting manually and then doesn't setup any form of cleanup.

If you're running btrfs manually and don't setup clean up scripts I'm slightly confused how you get into trouble in the first place since that also means there won't be any automated snapshots.

Personally I hate fighting with CSS and JS is...a language? No further comment. So having something that lets me avoid them for the most part sounds very appealing

Haven't used it, didn't know it existed, but I want to check it out now

There are several different distro's built on asahi IIRC, asahi is more of a Mac platform for distro's than a distro itself if I understand the project correctly.

I feel like malbolge is a much better fit for chaotic evil than brain fuck is but I agree with the rest

I'm still not convinced it's possible to have a cheat proof environment. Kernel anti-cheat is not fool proof, it's just more annoying to deal with than user space anti-cheat. Yes, pairing it with server side stuff will make it even more difficult but if one of the anti-cheats can be successfully bypassed then some amount of cheating is possible and anything running on a user's machine is susceptible to being bypassed because the user controls the environment. Additionally I'm in favor in general of kernel AC being outright banned by OSes. It's honestly far too invasive and it's a race to the bottom the game devs won't win if a cheater is determined enough. You say you're a fan of it only running as needed but it's in your kernel, it's got God access, 1 micro second is too long to allow every game developer on the planet unrestricted access to my computer. Ultimately though client side AC is like DRM, when you expect the software on the user's computer to enforce your rules you will be sorely disappointed. It will raise the bar, it will make some people give up, but it won't prevent it.
