Too late now that this got media awareness, if you believe a GoFundMe is going to raise more than some right-wing media outlet I have a bridge to sell

And that’s fine, but first people like you (and me to some extent) are in the vast minority and that’s also not an issue of bloatware per se.

Even pixel or Fairphone is fairly free of bloatware compared to Samsung and shitty Chinese brands as long as you are not privacy paranoid about Google services.

And without survival instinct or adrenaline to distract during decisions, great!

Doesn’t really matter to a regular user, in that case it’s"Firefox doesn’t work"

Maybe they should add a system where you can vote on some representatives who decide about the spending in some kind of council

It’s pretty easy, they should just create some sort of conversion therapy, it’s not like you are born like that and there is 0 biological reason or proof for that sort of condition. I mean it’s pretty easy to choose any other spiritual outlet or meaning to life than religion.

And I don’t think you understand OPs point. Of course you should be paranoid as a person like that, but most users aren’t targets. If you, as a regular user, get this paranoid about using computers, maybe you should evaluate your priorities.

You and me, I was confused about the round areas until I scrolled down

It’s a bit of a meme because german politics is so heavily lobbied by our car industry.

I use backblaze as a target with duplicacy, pretty cheap and allows free downloads of up to 3x your data per month. I use about 500gb there.

3-2-1 means 3 copies total on 2 different media with 1 copy off-site. An easy way to implement would be make a local copy outside of your NAS/RAID(different NAS or external HDD) and create a copy of that somewhere in the cloud or hosting(backblaze for example)

You should probably not look at your whole storage when thinking about Backup, but create different logical pools. For example I have 3 pools: media files, personal files&photos, app config files for my docker.

I don’t backup the media files because I can reacquire them, I have a very strict backup policy for my personal files and a more relaxed policy for my config files.

I use duplicacy to manage a local copy and a cloud copy and do restore tests sometimes. Duplicacy can also manage retention of its snapshots so I can keep years old versions of my personal files but only a few weeks worth of config

Doesn’t have to be a line, might just be the last straw

Well you could start by regulating the major US companies since those are the root of the issue described here. The internet as an abstract space is perfectly fine because there are enough independent providers for the required services to use or host on the internet. It’s the few that abuse.

get premium with Indian vpn for 1€/month, get browser extension to skip all BS segments like intros, outros, sponsorships or whatever -> enjoyable experience

You didn’t offend me, but you also didn’t really clarify what you actually want/need which made me think you just wanted to complain 🤷‍♂️ steam works and it’s way better than all of the alternatives. While you might find solutions for just managing games, nothing offers the level of “just works” as steam input and proton in Steam.

disable cloud sync? I don’t understand really get what you are actually complaining about. https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/68D2-35AB-09A9-7678#enabling

Doesn’t matter, you are still effected by this issue since any images from communities you or anyone else on your instance follows get cached on your server, doesn’t matter if you actually looked at them or not. I would advise you to look into this if you are the instance admin and didn’t know this by now.
