Have you considered setting up a virtual drive throuh RCLONE and use encrypted cloud storage?

Well it's clear that the user stepped into the role of vzq, answering on their behalf. I'm just being polite.

While Nostrachadmus was known for making no predictions and mocking everybody else making semi-accurate predictions as something he could have done better himself. Nostrasmartass just mocked them all without claiming he could make any long-term predicions at all.

Past and future history is crazy.

Thank user vzq, yet I don't believe drone warfare was the trend at the end of the cold war nor was the US and China direct competitors in the way we see today. Come to think of it, wasn't the cold war about the US and a different country? I'm so historyless, lol.

Thanks! 😊

I did one of the subtitle translations a while back, seem to remember it had to be done with open/free use licence. I'd be surprised if you can't just re-edit the video to make it shorter and more to the point.

There are many different matrix IM clients, both for desktop and mobile. I'm guessing you're thinking of Element, the defacto standard client from the makers of the matrix platform? Some of them are more tailored to the "average user", like FluffyChat and SchchzshchildyChat (???)

IMO the variety of clients only make it more confusing for people unfamiliar with the ecosystem.

On top of that there's different instances. It's about as messy as the ActivityPub-based fediverse.

Sure, that's why I self-host or use trusted services from people I actually know for EVERYTHING I can, not just the stuff that's too awful to accept. I can't be bothered with being disappointed and jump ships yet again.

I don't care if the big corpos set up obvious data privacy traps that sucks the data right out of people's pockets any more than I'm upset about a venomous snake on the side of the road. I'm more upset with the people who blindly walk into them despite clear warnings from more knowledgeable people, and in the process gives up OTHER people's data as well.

I don't want Facebook to have my phone number associated with my name, yet I'm sure countless people over the years have given it to them by uncritically accepting the app's terms and pressed the "Sure, go ahead and have full access to my phone's contact list" button.

There's always going to be cars that are repairable, they're just never going to be the flashiest, newest, cheapest or most media and socially hyped up vehicles. And that's what people want.

Folk complain about a simple thing like non-replaceable batteries in phones. But there's always been phones with replaceable batteries. They're just not Samsung phones or packed with the latest AI.

And honestly, if people cannot understand what they're signing up for... Perhaps they shouldn't sign away their first born child to begin with?
