Comment Re:Da fuq? Is the NSA telling us that... (Score 1) 68

A possible reason for the "no" is that without review they cannot confirm that it does not contain classified materials. There are two avenues of hope - 1. They send it to NARA, 2. someone in congressional affairs is contacted, AND a NSA cleared contractor gets a 1$ contract (e.g. a non-donation donation) to recover it.

Note: I have neither read all the comments, nor the article.

You could, like me, write each of your elected officials in support of it. The more that write, the more the politicians worry about their jobs.

you can read the proposed bill here: https://www.govinfo.gov/app/de...

If you think this is a better idea than nothing - write your Senator: https://www.senate.gov/senator...

If it clears the Senate, you can contact your representative: https://www.house.gov/represen...

Comment Re:Aaand that's illegal in plenty of countries. (Score 1) 207

In all European countries I've worked in, there are a lot of places (banking, government, schools) where this is 100% illegal.

So what about USG SIPRNet installs? What about my company's air gapped networks? Is the enterprise edition exempt? Or is this the actual start of the Linux desktop?

Note: I have done NO RESEARCH, including reading the article.
