   WTF is this? software is free, but national (and ideological) borders are not.
   Should we make 2025 the year of *BSD on desktop?

     @raffaele Is *BSD less subject to nationalism? FreeBSD is hosted in the USA, OpenBSD in Canada. Dunno what experience they have navigating this sort of issue.

     @raffaele Ah! Indeed "sovereignty within our borders" easily turns into "telling others what to do outside our borders". Maybe "software self-determination" would be better? No doubt that would be twisted too.

     @nemobis sorry, that was unuseful sarcasm. my point is that the idea of "software sovereignity" is a mistake.
