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

You're mostly right -- those names sound like overkill. However do note I have been using Bitwarden's Name Generator (random noun + number) and I've evolved the scheme a bit ( it is now always 'user' and I keep adding numbers until the generated username is available ).

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).

Best way to have forgetful username.

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.

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.

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

What??!?

So sad they have such market capture and monopoly on access they can do such unreasonable thing. Those dates are entirely unreasonable.

I'm going to my VCR store and rent the VHS when it is released there -- I won't renew my Skyshowtime subscription on July as I had planned as a protest.

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

Ah you want free. Disregard what I said.

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.

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

Eagerly awaiting multiple private spaces so I can move everything to owner profile.

I used Facebook on my GOS phone. I thank Meta for refreshing my weariness of big corp.

Is that the reason? Skimming through dev blogs I had hoped the new ofono supported Mediatek and Snapdragon VoLTE.

And coffee strategy in Japan

You have converters from Xtream input format (I have yet to test).

In standard Android yes, but on GrapheneOS has 1 (one) private space per profile.

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

Hello! What other measures you take? Use Gemini (the protocol?) Use I2P? Freenet?

Inquiring minds want to know!
