Debian it's a rock solid base that can be updated automatically with minimal user oversight

Honestly people that do recognize it for what it is should respond. Keep them talking to waste their time so they can't hurt someone else.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Yeah that is his point he is trying to make at some point you just have to come to terms with that trust since you are right it's not feasible to build your own hardware.

No worries , but i think I'm not being clear if you build it from scratch. how are you going you going to compile it ?

Your welcome but that's the point he was making even if you build everything on your own. The backdoor would be in the compiler. So even if you built /bin/login for example he would just inject it at compile time when compiling your code. But then you asked I will just compile the compiler but you have to compile it at some point and he can inject the code back into the compiler at that point.

It's important to remember when they say US intelligence is also the combined intelligence of US allies with intelligence sharing agreements. Whenever things were working before it was all blown up the intelligence worked so well because NATO+ block worked as a unit. That's why it was so important for Putin to deploy his operative to blowing up that alliance.
