Some apps needs cloud space for backups or sync. and suggest using Google Disk, Dropbox and others, but never - or not yet - Proton Disk.
Are there fundamental security considerations behind this, or does it just need time?

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

A No Kings rally in deep blue Washington, DC might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters. But over the upbeat groove of Sly and the Family Stone, you can hear whispers that the Radical Left is the reason a pumpkin spice oat milk latte is $6.75.

The Luddites: Weavers in England who wanted to work from home and not for someone who didn't work were shot, hanged or sendt to Australia, and has for centuries been associated with stupid opposition to progress. We got fast fashion, oligarchs, mountains of tekstile garbage, and overheating.

Making weaves: the resurgence in Harris tweed production – in pictures The industry is providing skills and opportunities for Hebridean islanders and an antidote to fast-fashion excess. The photographer Andy Buchanan traces the threads of this once dwindling craft

Weavers in the Hebrides use wool from their blackfoot sheep to make Harris Tweed. They work from home, and it is not allowed to make Harris Tweed in factories. Clothes made of Harris Tweed can be inherited by your grandchildren.

Tried Wikipedia, and they agree with you. Seems it was a Swedish priest who in 1784 launched this idea without really knowing anything about it. :-) Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) is a more likely candidate for the berserker effect. Henbane has been found in viking graves all over.

Well here in Norway we're told the vikings used it to go berserker, so not a wise move for an abused spouse?

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

Bought their freedom, and cheaply, with blood,
So we, boys, we
Will die fighting, or live free,
And down with all kings but King Ludd!

Reddit shuts down its NFT avatars project Three years after launching "Collectible Avatars", the NFT project they didn't want to call "NFTs" because they were already becoming kind of cringe, Reddit has decided to pull the plug. "Well, this is one of those posts. The kind that we hoped we would never have to write," they wrote. Reddit has ended submissions for new avatars, and will shut down its avatar shop, collection display on profiles, and NFT wallet feature. The feature is apparently so unused that the shutdown announcement garnered zero comments in the r/CollectibleAvatars subreddit. Besides posts relating to the shutdown, the most recent post in the subreddit was a year old. This is the second blockchain-based feature Reddit has sunset, following the October 2023 decision to end their "Community Points" feature.
