As a native English speaker hopefully helping a Portuguese speaker, I want to note that "emitido" is translated as "issued" in this case, emitted doesn't make sense for a government department doing this in english.

    It's not entirely outsourced by any means. There is a lot of it. The article is discussing one department that was outsourced, many others are not.

    Regarding running their own Linux distro, that probably would be neither cheap or really helpful (which of their vendors would support that vs. some other distro in practice?) but yes, there is a sizeable IT footprint required for such a large place.

    Sleeping with celebrities is celebs trying to calmly talk you to sleep. Empire and Revolutions are great podcasts. You can learn and then re-listen the next day if you want to learn more.
