Unfortunately not everyone has access to cheap storage so for us a few bucks a month is more cost effective than having to upgrade expensive storage regularly. 😓

Record labels (and the like) suing ISPs like this is such a weird fucking take. Like, imagine book publishers sending their agents to markets, libraries, book shops, etc. and noting down every single book sold and who bought them, then suing the local council/government/roading organisation if they discovered off brand books or even second hand books for allowing book pirates to drive those books along the roads.
Or how about suing the power companies for providing power to pirates, or computer hardware manufacturers, or farmers for growing the food that pirates eat…
Its been a while since I used a Kindle but AFAIK its still this - using Calibre + the deDRM plugin. I don’t know if linking directly to stuff here is OK so just do an internet search for github noDRM deDRM_tools and you should find the plugin you need for Calibre.
For reference, this was the article I first read about this on: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/bank-problems-reports-bnz-asb-kiwibank-anz-visa-paywave-services-down/R2EY42QKQBALXNF33G5PA6U3TQ/
WTF does someone’s spiritual beliefs and practices have to do with how well they are able to run an organisation? That’s an ad hominem argument. My country has a Christian prime minister at the moment but oh noes, I’m a non-religious hippy ‘witch’ so I guess our prime minister should step down because he believes in a pseudoscientific giant bearded man that lives in the sky and goes to an expensive building every week to speak magic words in unison with other cult members to call a special spirit to bless everyone that believe the exact same doctrines…

Awesome! This was one of the last things keeping the NPO I volunteer for from switching to Proton. Hopefully sheets won’t be too far behind (as we use those quite extensively too) but at least we can start migrating our documents in the mean time.
Why hasn’t Ancestry been sued then? I know there were issues around GEDmatch a while ago (never used them) in terms of privacy. Nothing I’ve read in Ancestry’s Privacy Statement says that they can legally retain data after you’ve requested deletion for an indefinite time. Are you sure it’s Ancestry you’re thinking of and not another company?
I think you have to manually enable it (may depend on your distro/DE) but SDDM works fine with Wayland as it stands now.
Use Ancestry.com instead. Ancestry asks if you want to be part of x y z. Say no to all. Also opt for Ancestry to destroy your sample. Once your test is completed, download the raw data file. Then request your data and account to be deleted.
You can then use services like Promethease to give you information on any potential genetic issues.
I don’t know if 23 and me offers the same level of privacy as only have experience with Ancestry.com.
Make sure whichever service you use, you read the privacy statement.
Also with Ancestry (dunno if 23&me does it), you can opt out of all their suggested extra opt ins, download your raw data and then request them to destroy your sample and delete your account.
Yes, absolutely. I used to pirate almost everything because I was too poor to afford most things. Nowadays I can afford more (albeit still poor so some piracy is still out of necessity for monetary reasons). Sometimes I pirate as a try before I buy. Watching/reading reviews just doesn’t always cut it and the only way to know if something is useful/enjoyable if trying it out first. And some things I intentionally pirate even if I can afford because I have an ethical and moral objection to giving money to the company/creator (like Amazon, Disney, Adobe, etc.). And in those instances I also try to pay it forward as much as possible by direct supporting creators, donating to FOSS, charities, FSF, Internet Archive, etc.

Reminds me of my Windows XP days when I used to customise the hell out of everything I could… custom boot screen… and yes custom BSOD. Which I switched to red 🟥❗ One day my PC RSODs in front of a family member and he said, “Oh shit, that must be really bad if it’s red instead of blue!” 😂
