If you think everyone using the Discord/Slack/Mattermost/Rocketchat/... generation of chat with inline image display and all those features, voice and video chat and screen sharing is ever going to switch to IRC at this point you are simply delusional.
The problem with that theory is that 99% of news are not by the company running the news website either. Not to mention that they wouldn't get any traffic if nobody was allowed to link to them.
Fun fact: the protocol part of each URL (http/https at the start) is officially called the scheme too. So I guess technically you scheme every time you click a link.
Two clicks to do what? I mean okay, if I just want to close the tab so I don't have to look at it anymore that is maybe the one action I can perform in there within two clicks but what else can get done with just two clicks? First you need to navigate to the file which is painfully slow and inconsistent and then you need to select an operation from a usually nested context menu.
Locally I usually just use the terminal/CLI (on Linux), much more flexible and you can use scripts or specialized tools (like rsync or fdupes) for operations you need to perform repeatedly. GUIs just tend to be too slow and repetitive for my taste.
On the other hand Google Drive is still a lot better than that monstrosity you need to battle if you want to actually create API keys for any Google product so for my limited needs I usually just deal with using it every month or two when I really need to.
And, thinking specifically about Sony, doesn't include rootkits or similar invasive security nightmares.
Google Drive is tedious as hell to use. The UI is utter garbage. Yes, eventually you can get it to do what you want but it is absolutely painful, especially with its background operations that are not reflected in the UI (e.g. you delete something large, it blocks you from deleting the seemingly empty shared drive until that background operation is done but doesn't tell you why in the UI).
On the other hand this gives Russia exactly what they want, they get to play the victim.
Thanks to the people who were in favor of marriage equality in the first place, not thanks to the bigots who wanted "civil unions" instead. Those are even more vicious in their bigotry these days.
Why not work on open source learning software instead where you actually have the full freedom to modify it to include and add what you want for your child?
So what you are saying is that if it is permanently cloudy and never sunny anymore in the future it is because of the people who love AI and hate solar power? I could see that happening.
