That still requires you to have an OS installed that can not be trusted.

And who maintains and "runs" that hypervisor?

No. Certainly not. The fundamentals of modern flight safety rules, Procedures and organizations were created in the Second World War when losses of aircraft and crew due to weather, environment, maintenance, poor training and so on greatly exceeded the losses inflicted by enemy action.

Rules and regulations on safety and health will maintain combat effectiveness and manpower where the loss -even temporary due to injuries or sickness- of well trained specialists (and don't forget that even a "simple" infantryman is a highly specialized expert in his field!) is not acceptable. Those rules were written in blood and modern western militaries can not sustain the rate of loss that Russia seems to be ok with. Western leader will be well advised to try to minimize losses to real combat casualties.

But I sure think that they will start to cut corners, at least where it comes down to documentation and purely cya.

How do you make sure that the model you run locally is not tainted? Is there even a way to confirm this without providing the complete training set?

Because they wouldn't. I mean, they would, but they would not be in a position where we or the world would hear about them or need to care.

I used XFCE for more than a decade and it's my first choice when picking a DE. Two major issues tempted me to try KDE this year: the lack of Wayland support and the absolute asinine file picker/ chooser dialogue XFCE took from gnome, if I remember correctly. Having a file picker that marks the text of the file name, but when you start typing switches to the search bar drives me nuts. (Even when you just want to drop a downloaded file somewhere in a directory ... why would I want to search in these circumstances??)

I'm keeping an eye on XFCE and they plan to release Wayland support some time this autumn. Once this is somewhere near stable, I thin I will switch back again to XFCE.

Don't worry. You don't have to look at "muslim countries". Blasphemy is a valid and actively weaponized legal charge in the German legal system [0] and as such hampers any discussion on religion and its influence and ubiquitous presence in German politics [1]. It goes so far as to enforcing the presentation of crucifixes in Bavarian class rooms and government agencies even though the German Federal Constitutional Court declared it illegal back in 1995. Way to go, Germany!!

P.S. Sorry for the links to German wikipedia. These articles describe the German situation in Germany and as such are not available in English. May be deepl.com can help.

These times are long gone. Not only with government efficiency, but the transition to digital services, railroad services, you name it. And yet people voted for a 68 year old Blackrock manager without any kind of governmental expertise on any level as their new saviour.

Well, I guess Germans are in for a nasty surprise since they call that garment an "Aluhut" in the respective circles where such things are required for street cred ...
