Interesting. I only discovered it a year or two ago, and not because of school or anything. I believe I saw it mentioned in a comment on Hackernews, and and the commenters praised it a lot there, so I read it.

    The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster. It's a short story.

    I tried it many years ago and it was nice, but I couldn't really make it fit my workflow properly.

    Somewhat related, I run a linux VM with Everything search 1.5 (alpha, beta or rc, I don't remember, but it's much better than 1.4) in Wine, and that VM has most of my main storage array mounted read-only. Then I have the Everything web interface enabled, so I have a place to search my tens of millions of hoarded files instantly. Doesn't archive file content though.

    I feel like the GiMP devs must be so fundamentally against good UX that donating towards that goal would be a waste, to be completely honest. They've had decades to show at least a small commitment to improving the UX. If there was an "Improve GiMP's UX" fund I could donate to, which guaranteed the money would go towards just that, I definitely would donate.

    WHOIS exposes 2 contact email(s) — registrar privacy not used

    Registrar privacy is in fact used. It's just the Namecheap abuse email address and an anonymized *@withheldforprivacy.com mail address. It shouldn't list those as results.

    In my opinion, René helped Google lose "all moral compass" by very actively preventing users from having control over their own devices. Under René Mayrhofer as Android Head of Security, it has become harder and harder to use rooted Android phones, because of the Play Integrity API. Even the fucking McDonalds app requires strong integrity, for some reason, so it can be hard to get working on a rooted Android phone.

    Android was supposed to be the open operating system for phones, but Google is slowly eroding away all the openness Android had.

    Was LastPass open source to the same degree that Bitwarden is? It's super easy to run your own Vaultwarden server already, and it shouldn't be a problem for the community to fork and maintain unofficial clients either. Doesn't seem like there's much Bitwarden as a company could do about that, even if they wanted to.
