Linux Cuba recently launched its own answer to Windows this week, or, in the bigger picture, what the Cubans are calling "US Hegemony." Nova, the new open source OS being offered by the Cuban government, is being made to boot out US-based Microsoft products.

Which I might add, enables their workers to earn a living and pursue a better life.


So if Cuba just allowed American companies to put up sweatshops and exploit the Cuban population all would be fine.
Btw, the notion that it enables them to live a better life is fscking nonsense and it's the kind of rationalization that we westerners tell ourselves so that we can continue buying cheap stuff.

Cuba's economy is closed and not even China requires their citizens to use a state designed operating system(aka spyware).


No, but they do like to spy on what their citizens are doing and they are preventing them from going wherever they want on the internet and they cant speak their mind.
But, the U.S owes them a shitload of money and they allow sweatshops so all is well.
