I realize that this era makes it difficult, but that is why I would be cautious in projects, like Rustdesk dev was obfuscating the chinese location, and blobs, so I have removed that. My phone runs GrapheneOS so things are sandboxed, my home electronics are either totally blocked from web access, or certain IPs restricted. And of course Canada US would try to compel, but we have more transparency here than CCP shinanigens. I'm just saying, everyone blindy installing Ventoy that has more blobs than source code, and possible mainland connection should not be

Read my other reply in this thread you will see why/how CCP oversteps boundaries, and why you don't trust blob code you can't verify

The sad part is that half the population doesn't bother voting

I took artistic liberties. Sorry

The guy is an out of touch jerk. Sometimes the hilight of your day ia that mental break grabbing a coffee at a cafe and enjoying fresh air. And i get way more work done with WFH, because people need an actual reason to interrupt your work flow

Containers are great to keep OS separate from apps, but VPN seems pretty integral to OS, so I don't see an issue using rpm-ostree. Containers often prove challenging because of not being able to get permission or share data between apps ( on purpose )

Its a CYA for SUSE. Certain technologies aren't permitted to be shared outside of USA unless you go through the ETAR and assign if it commerically restricted/unrestricted, etc. If you are in USA you are bound by this anyway, even without a EULA.

They don't know what you may install or transfer, even though it is opensource and you could download in another country.

We get hung up with this at work. We may have a software issue and send to USA parent company for review, they then need to know if the data represents a certain class so they can direct where (country) the software review or fix can be sent for evaluation.

There are obious things like military, but then there are commercial, transit infrastructure, aero, etc.

But it can get stupid, like the parent company received a CAD file I sent in as a demomstration of a display bug. i made a cube 4x4x4. the agent wanted to know what ETAR class it was, I argued it isn't because it is a cube I made as demo only, they would not review till i choose a class from a long list. None applied. But I had to pick one for them to proceed. So somewhere some guy is doing data chain of custody on a cube. lol

In cases where it does fall into restricted commercial interest or other restrictions only a USA citizen can work on the data.

This agreement poses no restrictiona on you that aren't already present if you are in the USA. And you shouldn't need to worry, unless you actively are designing or stealing data to hand over to a USA "enemy" for purposes of espionage , war, weapons etc

This smells of "So I work from home, but want to sleep, but if my boss pings me on teams I want an alarm to wake me up"

A mess.
