”They'll avoid encounters and conflict with people as much as they can. And so we just need to do our part and respect that."

If only the same could be said about politicians.

In the time it takes for all this to play out, all the farmers could recoup their potential losses and then some by replacing their JD investment with Kubota, who supports independent repair shops.

Of course, with the debt load most farmers carry, that’s easier said than done.

If the federal government set up a replacement program though, and shipped all the JD machinery to Ukraine where hackers know how to modify the software, everyone but JD would win.

This is why I run my own NextCloud instance that backs up locally and via offsite rotation.

Sure, I could still lose it all, but it would be 100% my own fault if I did.

Right; so anyone using Apple Messages or WhatsApp or Signal still has private messaging; it’s those message apps that only encrypt in transit that are leaving data exposed to authorities. Personally, I don’t have an issue with that like I do with EU chat control. But it’s mostly performative.

Er, does this compel everyone to cooperate, or is it just a “yeah, police are legally allowed to monitor encrypted communications” kind of thing?

The first seems dystopian and the second performative, and neither seems like it will do what Austria’s government says it will.
