When regulation becomes theater and encryption becomes window dressing

It is raining here in the Southern Hemisphere again. It has been raining for three weeks now, nonstop.
I’m sitting with my chai coffee, watching out of the window, and thinking about data sovereignty. It is, genuinely, the kind of thing I think about often. The northern hemisphere is winding up for summer. Europe is getting ready for long evenings and beach holidays. I’m quietly jealous. I’ve always wanted to split the year: six months south, six months north. Endless summer. The perpetual warmth of a life lived chasing the sun.
But here I am. Chai. Rain. Data.
