This is a tricky balance. Some level of skepticism and counter-culture is good and healthy, both for people and society. But when it goes too far, it always seems to end up in the same place.

Minimize dependency on the irrational nation states, build deterrence against aggression, build alliances with other trustworthy rational nations.
The UNSC has been less and less relevant and is now largely useless.

Surprisingly, and unfortunately, NsCDE appears possibly abandoned, with no github activity since mid-2023. I prefer it to CDE, which (somehow) is still actively maintained. Nevertheless, the most recent release of NsCDE works well on openSUSE as of today. I wish I could say the same of CDE.

Got my
#Fairphone running /e/OS , a deGoogled Android OS.
I took a bit of a gamble, as I wasn't sure all the apps I really need would run. Turns out they do, including the Nordea ID app.
It is usable as a daily driver.
/e/OS looks clean and uncluttered too.

Data Science is different things to different people so the list of things you need to know is hard to pin down.
It's often understood to go beyond data analysis.

I'm interested in a EU-based domain registrar to move out of the US-based registrar I've been using.
Any recommendations? I'm primarily a business customer (incorporated).

Yes, they are even bragging about it.
But - besides the environmental insanity and the theft - it's doubtful it will even work out economically. I doubt they can get a return on what they'd need to invest any more. They'll need to plunder more than oil.

Indeed.
What the USA is currently doing in Venezuela looks very much like a semi-hostile takeover of one criminal organization by a more powerful one.
If there's any "rationality" it only exists in relation to the interests of shockingly small circles of power, in either country.
