Let me see if I have this correct regarding Ledger:
I switch from using Ledger Live for my Ledger hardware device to using #sparrow for my Ledger hardware device.
The government kicks down Ledger's...
Mostly yes except last bit.
There is no possible way for Ledger/ government to edit the firmware of the Ledger hardware device to make it export your Private Keys (assuming it can’t do that already, we don’t know because not FOSS)
It could be a genius move on behalf of Ledger cos people don’t trust them selves with private keys or the creation of a huge point of centralised failure. I believe the latter b/c if it can be fucked with it will be fucked with by bad actors/ gov.
Bottom line.
Sparrow & Cold card good b/c both are FOSS
Trust no one
