We're sick of these stunts and crazy sh*t like Recall, don't complain later when people move to Linux or Apple. Thanks Satya, you're doing a great job to the Linux community.

Not only to make specific tasks, but also, to remove the burden in some of them, why ssh/rdp to a server to execute something if we can quickly create a script and run it with a click?
At home? domotics, remembering to close the blinds or turn off apliances? no thanks, HA takes care of it with schedules and conditions. Leaving home and remembering to turn on the alarm? no thanks, geolocation + condition, if away for more than 5 minutes, assume that I left and close everything, shut down stuff, turn on the alarm, start the vacuum and get a notification on the mobile.
- Install my own Git using Gitea
- Install my own Repository instead of using Docker Hub
- Install Portainer
- Configure Gitea to use workers + actions
- Write the needed YAML to build the image, upload to local registry
- Configure hook on Portainer to recreate stack if image was updated
Of course there is a slight delay while the image is building, but I don't have to touch anything at all, just code, commit and a couple of minutes later image is up and running.
Images, videos and others, attach a text file with the format description, syntax and structure, who knows if in 200 years people still use jpg or mpeg or how to read/decode them.
I have some very old games with binary formats without any additional information, reversing them takes a lot of time, so, other than the physical medium, remember that what we take for granted today, might not be tomorrow.
2. Copy / Paste
3. Close your eyes and believe that they do it.
Jokes aside, I've moved from Dropbox to Mega; I don't store private information on cloud services, however, some particular stuff was overwritten some times and deleted the history before closing the account.
Before that, I was suspicious too of Dropbox opening files, so I've planted a canary and never was triggered, so, there's that, unless you're some VIP, I highly doubt they check your files.
I mean, I've read the situation with company policies but, you can disguise the VM traffic to make it look it came from the Windows host machine. No need to fiddle with weird tunnels.
But yes, totally doable with some Python scripts, yet, slow as f...
Unfortunately, I couldn't buy one in my country without having to leave some kidney to pay for it, so, I've just bought a regular one, and guess what, it starts to ask for wifi and to configure it using their proprietary app. Fortunaly there's an option to say no :)
Apple users are forced to update so that stuff keeps running smoothly, now, try to tell a Windows 11 user that he can no longer run that piece of historical software that was so cool in Windows 95 ;)
Besides that, no Windows version was fully developed from scratch, all of them still have legacy code bloating around.
Let's see, UAC is nice for your grandmother who might click on something that it shouldn't, yet, we, advanced users are constantly annoyed by those cof,cof "security" features who get in the way when doing something.
Yet, your grandmother will eventually get ransomware or malware despite the UAC and other features, so, what's the point!??!
At the moment I just remember UAC, but there are plenty of features that we want to turn off with a simple button and we can't, unless we play around with the registry or 3rd party apps.
And this is why power users love Linux, we can do whatever we want, if we break it, it's fine and we can learn with it. At this rate, your computer will no longer be "your" computer, Microsoft will own it and you will like it.
Go to a coworking space, or try to reach other remote workers in your city and invite them to your place (or go to theirs).
