Is the arXiv safe from the current US government attacks to education, research, universities and science?

Perhaps they haven't yet realized that it exists.

Also, could the US government, via Musk, order my github account to be deleted because we have a statement of inclusion in TypeTopology? Or just Microsoft decide to do this to shield itself from retaliation from government?

@MartinEscardo I'm thinking of moving my stuff github stuff to codeberg for exactly this reason. Now arXiv, I had not thought about that until now.....

@dimpase @julesh Yes, I was just thinking about this.

Fortunately, I have two old linux computers that update themselves daily with the data I produce in my Apple computers, one at home and one at university.

@MartinEscardo @julesh the recent appearance of Apple Intelligence and Microsoft Copilot - they can be used as keyloggers/data stealers etc, rises a suspicion that it's how they are getting prepared for eventual US govt orders...

@dimpase @MartinEscardo In practice I'm currently more worried right now about running Android on my phone than OSX on my laptop, but yeah. Gonna need to replace both of them at some point

@julesh @dimpase @MartinEscardo I have definitely been paying more attention to @murena , @fdroidorg and other open source phone projects.

@soaproot @julesh @dimpase @MartinEscardo @murena @fdroidorg If you happen to have a recentish Pixel, I've had good results with @GrapheneOS. It is de-googled by default but will also allow you to run Google apps with additional sandboxing should you need to.
