fundamentally you can't do that because the US operates the secure intelligence backends for Tier 1 and 2 intelligence sharing
if I were any of these countries I would ditch Five Eyes immediately. the US intelligence apparatus must be assumed to be infested to the marrow with foreign spies
FT Exclusive: Peter Navarro, one of the US president’s closest advisers, is pushing for the US to remove Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network — which also includes the UK, Australia and New Zealand. www.ft.com/content/2dfa...

anthropic is going to win because they are not a supply chain risk. palantir should be declared a supply chain risk because we cannot have people openly dedicated to overthrowing democracy in charge of our intelligence backends.
Cancelling all contracts and bankrupting them, absolutely
But as much as I'm a proponent of using many the right's methods against them, the supply chain risk designation is not the right way to go about it (especially because Anthropic is almost certainly going to win in court over that one)

i think that it is plainly obvious that we should bankrupt Palantir on day one by cutting all of its contracts and declaring it a supply chain risk.

Added support to Konbini for jetstream and multiple backends. Jetstream is *much* lighter in terms of bandwidth and CPU to process the firehose, and the multiple backends config can be used to just subscribe to individual PDSs instead of a full relay firehose.

- you can host your data
- it's just json
- it's typed but any app dev can invent those types
- records have URIs
- records are signed so cacheable without trust
- relay aggregates everyone’s events into a global stream
- backends subscribe to relay and update local DBs

Just those two features. Add those two things and you get viable distributed Discord.

It's using PSXRecomp as it's backbone, which if you do so much as a surface level poke, shows it's using Claude V4 as one of it's primary code backends. So saying no A.I. was used in any capacity is outright incorrect/lying when your recomp backend is very much using it.
