Damn, you’re probably right. I likely just see the good parts that differ from the shitty things about my country lol

How accurate is the FOSS part in practice?

Lol I mean, nobody is perfect, but you guys have things like freedom of movement (even between countries) and France and Germany pushing open source software forward for the sake of privacy, security, flexability and community. Plus, you guys seem to have a mindset of “until it’s proven safe, it will be illigal” compared to our “until it is proven UNsafe, it will be legal”. Maybe “gold standard” isn’t the best term, but I feel like you guys have better way of thinking about the world

Even as an American, this is terrifying. Everyone knows my country is shit, but I’ve always seen you guys as the gold standard and for this kind of thing to even be discussed over on your side of the pond is absolutely horrifying…

Now that you mention it, yeah 🤣 Thanks for the chuckles kind stranger, take my up vote
