    I noticed elsewhere EU could be planning a unified Linux. It occurred to me that one #strength of #linux could be its DIVERSITY.

    That idea works elsewhere. Strength in #diversity

    The #ukgovernment single login gateway could be just what hackers want. A single point of entry they can hit repeatedly to target a careless foe. As with central control of ID.

    Well, so good luck, everyone, welcome to future disaster.
