Takes guts to admit you were wrong. Take my upvote!

I've been wondering about using Firefox with a www<>gemini protocol<>gemini protocol<>www for a funn-er way of showing my middle finger to most websites, but my www dread hasn't reached the level required to do it. Yet.

Yup. You'll have to babysit Onedrive UI client like a toddler. I use rclone when I need guarantees the files were indeed uploaded.

Actually these laptops may sell well: less memory when RAM is at exhorbitant prices will confer them a hefty price advantage.

That's not the worse. The worse is when every goddamn awful thing in your paid-for OS is to be solvable with a time consuming sfc /scannow and another command which always take lots of tine.

I almost consider those [non-working but always peddled first] worse than a greybeard telling you can solve your [Linux] problem fetching the source of 10 packages from git and compiling manually.

Good news! Unfortunately I'm not sold on having to have a bridge to access their email using Thinderbird, so I'm not subscribing Proton Unlimited "suite". Also no working Linux client for Proton Drive (rclone's is unmaintained and not working).

Negative, full-res photos with EXIF is not possible to access with rclone (due to Photos API limitations).

This is likely via silent updates of Google's Play Services.

Yes. And no. Develop capabilities to ensure you can defeat your enemy. Then scale down using game theory. It's what has been done with nuclear warheads count.

Right now we can't trust several players so yes, do arm. Also get into politics to prevent bad players (national or foreign) to take over the government.
