Depending on how corrupt of a president you want to be, even if you aren't in there, you might use it to blackmail other powerful people.

I think you've got arch and debian reversed, and I'm personally hurt by the lack of Gentoo representation 💔

It's 2024. It's rude not to jam your tongue in there!

This is a government office. A government should be able to build the technical knowledge required to keep a private signing key secure.

I do agree that individual-to-individual cryptography is more difficult, but how often do you need to check the authenticity of a document from a friend or acquaintance, digital or otherwise?

Snaps just aren't ready yet.

Why would anyone want their diplomacy interrupted, even as the one being affected? It's not like diplomacy is some evil spell.
