Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users
Since Google’s goal is to improve security
This is an obvious lie.

Microsoft Blog
The new Windows update adds Pat the Mouse, an AI-powered feature that predicts what you want to click on, and automatically does that for you.
The latest Windows update automatically writes the words you will not want to interpret C++ is an interpreted noodle is good.
The latest the Window update removes the toggles for AI features, as we believe the AI is the future. The keyboards and mouse were truly innovative invention, but now belongs to the pasts times.
Noodle is a noodle is a noodle is a beheaded flying chicken with caps written in ALL-CAPS.

Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward
I'll just use LibreOffice, but... a lot of people just don't care. Which does also impact us.

Signal knows who you’re talking to – Sane Security Guy

From https://delta.chat/en/help#sealedsender
Does Delta Chat support “Sealed Sender”?
No, not yet.
The Signal messenger introduced “Sealed Sender” in 2018 to keep their server infrastructure ignorant of who is sending a message to a set of recipients. It is particularly important because the Signal server knows the mobile number of each account, which is usually associated with a passport identity.
Even if chatmail relays do not ask for any private data (including no phone numbers), it might still be worthwhile to protect relational metadata between addresses. We don’t foresee bigger problems in using random throw-away addresses for sealed sending but an implementation has not been agreed as a priority yet.

Is there any logical reason for this toggle to exist, and be disabled by default?!

Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell

The automatic options on Mint (and probably Ubuntu) make everything extremely easy. Do you want to keep Windows, or get rid of it? How much space do you want to give to Mint and Windows? Okay, done.

Keeping up motivation when writing
I write for myself, not others. I try not to worry about what others might think when they read my story. I try not to care about any typos and grammatical errors and misused words. Those worries are for when I'm editing my draft. I also remind myself that no story starts great, it doesn't matter if your draft is terrible. You just need to write something. You can improve what you wrote later, but you do need some kind of foundation to build upon.

Florisboard. Android keyboard, doesn't have spell checking yet but I've been using it for years, you might not need autocorrect as much as you think! (Note for Samsung users: Samsung Keyboard keeps adding items to its clipboard history whether it's default or not. Clipboard history is also accessible through Edge Panels. Your passwords might end up and sit there for a long time... you can use adb to disable com.samsung.android.app.clipboardedge and com.samsung.clipboardsaveservice.)

Floo: Do you think I’m acting in bad faith because I acknowledge a fact, and you won’t?
Ah, yes. Projection.
It’s amusing that you’re accusing me of what you’re doing.

Briar uses much more battery than everything else I've tried (which includes SimpleX but not XMPP).
