For me, I had a very long inner process. About 2 decades long
I never even entertained the idea that the common denominator was right in front of us all this time
I had made some hypothesis of Random rich psychopaths just naturally gravitating in the same direction
Then one day it dawned on me. The media, always the same narrative in all of the western world. The banking system we use, Big med, Big food, all of the movies and TV, WEF, Young global leaders etc.
All working as one.

EU OS is a Proof-of-Concept for the deployment of a Fedora-based Linux operating system with a KDE Plasma desktop environment in a typical public sector organisation. Other organisations with similar requirements or less strict requirements may also learn from this Proof-of-Concept.
It is led by a community of volunteers and enthusiasts. The project goal is to become a project of the European Commission.
Despite the name, EU OS is technically not a new operating system. Distrowatch lists currently over 250 Linux operating systems (‘distributions’) and their various flavours, spins or subvariants are not even counted in. The added value of EU OS is a different one:
The aims of this project are very similar to that of SAOSS (South African Open Source Software) but the advantage of the EU is that there are a number of firmly established OSS implementations already in place in a few countries within their public sector.
In South Africa, most of the initiatives within the public sector have died out, apart from maybe one municipal district in the Eastern Cape. I was part of one initiative in the South African public sector, and it passed with flying colours, but a change of political leadership very quickly killed off the project just one month before it was due for its permanent switch over.
So, I have three vital pieces of advice for any open source project within the public sector, and they have nothing at all to do with the technology:

Leave it to #Disney to never pass up an opportunity to continuously milk a franchise every single chance they get.
I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't Disney's attempt to reset the clock on the film's #Copyright term. It's been ... forty-eight years.
Considering that #StarWars was released in 1977, it's Copyright term was under pre-1978 rules which were 28 years initially, then a 67 year extension if the Copyright holder filed for an extension in 2005. That would grant them a Copyright term of 95 years as of today.
Let's compare that to what the Copyright term will be for this re-release of StarWars.
Are you sitting down?
It will be for another 120 fucking years!
So that's the real reason Disney is re-releasing StarWars.
It has nothing to do with the fans, and everything to do with Disney exploiting a #loophole to make the Copyright term for StarWars to be 168 fucking years. (Original 48 years where we are now, plus the additional 120 years they will get when they re-relase the film.)
Fuck Disney!

Remember kids...
The value of a product or service is not how much the person selling it says it is.
It's how much the customer is willing to pay to acquire it.
Sometimes these numbers line up and everybody's happy.
Sometimes they don't. And if you price your product or service too high, your customers might seek ways of acquiring your product by other means.
