I contacted the EU DMA team a while back. Part of the response:

We have taken note of your concerns and, while we cannot comment on ongoing dialogue with gatekeepers, these considerations will form part of our assessment of the justifications for the verification process provided by Google.

So at least some part of the bureaucracy are aware of it.

Camellia sinensis comes in two major natural varieties, C. sinensis v. sinensis and C. sinensis v. assamica. Other natural varieties (that I didn’t even know about before looking into it just now) are v. pubilimba, v. dehungensis, and v. madoensis. The related species Camelliia taliensis is also used to make tea, especially pu-erh.

In addition to these natural varieties, there is a huge variety of cultivars. And the terroir makes a difference. But I think that tea drinkers by and large like their tea to taste like tea.

tl;dr Camellia sinensis has both natural and bred varietals.

That’s really cool. Can someone more knowledgeable estimate the workload is for the central unit? I’m guessing we’re way beyond Raspberry Pi territory.

Briar, SimpleX, I2Pchat on desktop, maybe LXMF/Reticulum/Sideband over I2P if you want to get techy.

Cool, but admit it, you shared it (and I read it) because of that title that someone had way too much fun writing.
