Either way, it’s likely to backfire as people abandon ship for FOSS alternatives…

Legal entities will continue to use shitty proprietary software because of the liability. It's more important to have a legal backstop than actual security... It's security theater. It's a big part of why nothing is actually secure in USA. Casino griftonomics.

(I've been thinking about this in terms of the MIC too. Total failure against Iran. The iron dome lmao. They're pouring endless money into these grifters who almost never have to demonstrate quality/effectiveness.)

That's stupid, especially when FOSS alternatives can be more secure. Liability culture is a scourge.
