Linux for many years. Windows and Mac feels the same to me: they are not configurable enough. You just use almost default setup or you are out of luck.

Generally we also don't trust the technology, not just the government. Unless you're up for being detained just because you look quite like some wanted person. Given enough samples, there is some guaranteed overlap.
Also technology provider is important. I doubt that government is able to self host face recognition. So the most common implementation would be microsoft (or any big corp good at lobbying in this part of the world) owning technology and data to preserve their vendor lock in. So there is high probability that those data will be used for other purposes (you can easily imagine standard corporate excuses if someone finds out).

It's about time. Critical infrastructure still written in C - particularly code that parses data from untrusted sources - is technical debt that is only going to get worse over time. It's not as if Rust is that much more difficult to write than C. Rust is explicitly designed to be what you'd get if you were to re-create C knowing what we know now about language design and code safety.
If 32-bit x86 support can be dropped for pragmatic reasons, so can these architectures. If people really, really want to preserve these architectures as ongoing platforms for the future, they need to step up and create a backend for the Rust toolchain that supports them.
It is not only about memory safety. C community is aging fast and young developers choose different languages. We started to rewrite all C and C++ code in my team because it is really hard to find people willing to maintain it. From my experience typical C or C++ programer is around 40 and not willing to switch jobs.

Pricing model for a terminal. What a time to be alive.

Well this is something at least I guess.
Also terminal sending telemetry. So many no goes.
I'm just glad they're keeping this going.
