This may seem weird but I dislike the aspect ratio of their screens.

I have a desktop with 16:9 monitors and a laptop with 16:10.

Those are close enough that your workflow doesn't really change. But 2:3 is different enough it makes a difference.

That and for what they are they're crazy expensive. So I went for a Slimbook (kinda the Spanish version of Tuxedo). They're not perfect but I found them "good enough".

Nah. Known plaintext wouldn't help cracking a good encryption scheme. Enigma was not a great encryption scheme. It had a few fatal flaws.

Yeah I very much like dislike the culture of Gnome... maybe I'll try something else someday. KDE isn't for me but Cosmic maybe.

It won't affect you in any way directly. The issue is it very well may affect what apps are available and regularly updated on Fdroid and other app stores or repos.

The issue isn't that. It's that devs may juat abandon projects if they're too naughty for Google cos the custom ROM crowd is so tiny.

Right so think torrent clients, idk, Pornhub app, that sort of thing. Yeah, it doesn't affect your phone. But it absolutely will affect what software is available at all should Google clamp down on this.

So extradition varies greatly. But generally (extremely generally, treaties vary a lot) countries will extradite if what the person is accused of is:

  1. A crime in both countries
  2. Carries a penalty of at least 6 months prison in both countries

However basically no country will accept extraterritorial claims of another state simply because it impinges on their own sovereignty. It makes the UK somehow more soviergn than the country where the supposed crime was committed, in this case the US.

The exception to the above rule tends to be crimes against humanity and war crimes. But obviously that is irrelevant to this case.

You are correct that were they actual charged with a crime for violating this act they could not go to the UK.

If they have no infrastructure or legal presence in the UK they are not required to do shit. The UK can block them but that's about it.

The UK does not have extraterritorial jurisdiction! Whatever stupid shit they do on their shitty little island does not affect foreign firms that do not operate there.
