The Google Drive backups are not encrypted by default. It looks like they've recently added the option to encrypt backups with your own key or password, which is a decent feature.
IIRC he's in prison awaiting trial for publicizing classified documents. Classified documents which prove the coup was organized by the US and executed by the compradors currently governing Pakistan.
I've been reading a lot about the chat control plans but hadn't seen this yet. Maybe this new eIDAS agreement is why the parliament has reportedly let chat control go for the time being?
In general it's quite shocking how easily the EU can propose, iterate, and often pass really insidious legislation very quietly.
I was going to respond with sources, but I see I've hit a nerve by simply alluding to the fact that colonial states are gonna colonize.
It really goes to show how ingrained fascism and white supremacist is in western society, and that because white people in the imperial core materially benefit from this dynamic, they defend it, even as they're shouting to deplatform Nazis.
Western Nazis totally exist as well. But the West actually keeps them in check.
The fuck they're kept in check. Actual card carrying Nazis helped build the post-war western "international rules based order." Even today people with similar ethno-nationalist, settler-colonialist, and fascist ideology are at the highest levels of every western government, big inter-government organization, and corporation. They're starting wars and committing genocides left and right, always have and always will, until they're stopped by national liberation movements and normal everyday working people taking a stand.
Whereas Palestinian liberation is about stopping the bloody genocide against the Palestinian people and once again giving them agency over their own lives - for they haven't had any in generations. That's something we can all stand behind.

I have a similar machine which I wanted to run Mint on. For whatever reason I couldn't get the trackpad to work (it worked on the LiveUSB but not the install, whatever). I tried Tumbleweed and it seems pretty good.
Lend-lease ultimately brought the British Empire to its knees. The UK's lend-lease debt is still on the books today, nearly eighty years later.
Ukraine, being the worst performing country economically from 1991 onwards, has absolutely no chance to ever pay off this debt. The country is already being divided up by Blackrock to milk for what little more it has to give.
I often think that too, as well as the millions of people who are employed in valueless industries, sort of like David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs thesis.
It's not just the reserve army of labour that's wasted potential, it's the people in weapons manufacturing, corporate legal and finance, advertising, lobbying, etc. Many make very high salaries, and yet they produce nothing that an honest society would call valuable.
We could achieve so much if our priorities were set properly. People have achieved so much in AES states, past and present. That thought is what keeps me going.
I wonder what the net worth and "business" background of these migrants is.
Canada for example got a wave of migrants from Hong Kong after 1997, most of them private business owners and wealthy individuals who didn't want their capital to be "oppressed."
So colonialism and imperialism are just "holy wars" to you?
Not to mention the fact that this particular conflict isn't two thousand years old, it's just 76 years old. Some Palestinians are still alive who remember the Nakhba.
It must be said that the so-called Cuban Missile Crisis was precipitated by the US placing nuclear missiles in Türkiye. It was later resolved by the US withdrawing said missiles.
Of course it's called the Cuban Missile Crisis because the US writes the propaganda history books.
