it’s common for cheap esim providers to route data etc through cheaper data exits, i imagine this is partly why.

(I recently purchased an esim and was surprised to see it exiting poland instead of the country the mobile provider (Bell) resides in)

IMO, Figure out encryption at rest or encrypted note storage / clean self hosting and you'll get a large chunk of "personal note storage" fans.

I immediately thought about how great a Linux OS would be on this laptop.

Any idea if it would work out of the box?

they would be well placed to explain their whakapapa and reasons for choosing the name, nē?

This sums it up better than I can: https://taiuru.co.nz/branding/#Consultation

| If using a Māori cultural element, it is essential that you create a cultural narrative around your brand or product including the usage, your thinking and where you gained inspiration from. In Māori culture this is called ‘whakapapa’. Everything in the Māori world has whakapapa. It is also your first line of defense if someone accuses you of cultural appropriation.

If you mean Kākāpō - yes it is!

I saw this is already a Github issue for this project - but use of a Māori bird name is considered tapu (holy or sacred) to Māori.

Hopefully that doesn't distract from the project, the developer should probably consider the implications of choosing such a name (it may look like cultural appropriation).

Kia ora!

I appreciate that your post is thoughtful and has good intentions, but can i suggest not telling people how they can or cannot feel, or what they should or shouldn’t do? (hah. putting myself into this basket for a second and acknowledging this comment)

emotions are complex. you can show compassion and empathy without instruction?

inshallah

The intentions of the creator of the product do seem genuine and worthy, but it's still cultural appropriation without consultation or acknowledgement of the tāonga behind the name.

Just because you disagree doesn't make it "woke".
