This Can Make Ukraine More Robust to Cracking by Russia and Belarus
THE other night we examined operating system usage statistics and along the way noticed that Ukraine had apparently grown its GNU/Linux userbase. How reliable or stable are these statistics? Time will tell. These fluctuations possibly say more about statCounter than they say about Ukraine.
We've long argued that Ukraine must completely abandon Windows for its national security's sake [1, 2]. From what we've seen and heard, the US government used Russia's invasion as an excuse to throw Microsoft another big bailout (outsourcing Ukrainian systems to Azure, which is a mess full of security holes - Microsoft cannot even secure its own systems*).
Back in November we published "The Governments Worldwide (Not Just B.R.I.C.S.) Need to Break Up With Microsoft If They Value Computer Security and National Security" (even those threatened by B.R.I.C.S., e.g. Taiwan, must move away).
GAFAM (NSA) spares nobody, not even Americans. █

* Quoting the latest from Sam Varghese: "Attackers claimed to be backed by Russia were inside Microsoft's corporate systems for nearly two months before the company detected their presence, it says in a blog post published on Friday." (to lessen attention, people gone away for the weekend; they knew about it much earlier and procrastinated this important admission).
Don't worry, Microsoft is the "victim" here, of course! This is all Russia's fault! Sometimes that same finger points at China and incites hatred. Hatred is a core value in this criminal corporation. Hatred is profitable.
