I'm American but IDK why the rest of the world uses our software stack. The biggest strategic gap, we've got backdoors into that software so any data put into it is accessible to American intelligence. It's also being fed into AI, which is terrible, they not only have access to everyone's answers, they get to check how we did our work. FOSS homelabbing ftw.

OnePlus definitely deserve to be dismantled for its betrayal to its core userbase
