Never say never - unless you're writing clickbait.
"Justice delayed is justice denied"
Anarchism is all about working together to build a better world where everyone has all of their needs met,
Hmm, I was working with the classic disctionary definition which is "a state of disorder due to absence or non-recognition of authority or other controlling systems."
But you're right, anarchism does have that other meaning, so perhaps a better word would be "chaos".
His actions in supporting Trump in the US, promoting hate and extermist views on X globally, and encouraging civil war in the UK do all fit a chaos agenda. That's not about money - at least, not that I can see.
He is one of the world's most dangerous people, however, and I don't say that lightly. Not least because of his history of being unpredictable.
More governments should follow Brazil's example and push back.
He has more than anyone else in the history of the world. By any scale, he's won at money.
He's already got all the money and most of the power. Now his hobby is far right extremism and anarchy.
Over the past year Musk has removed all masks and clearly believes he can operate beyond the law. His motives are clearly to watch the world burn. He is an extremely dangerous, unpredictable and powerful man, threatening democracy across the globe.
Our governments need to protect us from him. Brazil's being brave here, I hope they're just the first.
I'm inclined to give Linux more benefit of the doubt than, say, Windows. That's because of the motives behind it.
Microsoft have a very long history of making design choices in their software that users don't like, and quite often that's because it suits their interests more than their customers. They are a commercial business that exists to benefit itself, after all. Same with Apple. Money spoils everything pure, after all. You mention privacy, but that's just one more example of someone wanting to benefit financially from you - it's just in a less transparent and more open-ended way than paying them some cash.
Linux, because that monetary incentive is far less, is usually designed simply "to be better". The developers are often primary users of the software. Sure - sometimes developers make choices that confuses users, but that over-arching driving business interest just isn't there.
Feels like another hate-pushing cesspit to avoid.
The point people are making is that communication and discipline, both things that require time and skill, would be a better, less invasive approach.
Perhaps that's being done as well?
But even if it is, that approach doesn't work with all people, no matter how skillful or how much time is put into it.
If it did, then the world would be a perfect place by now. Indeed, many things are better - but there's enough people hard at work sowing discontent and hate to ensure it isn't.
I used to write to DVD's, but the failure rate was astronomical - like 50% after 5 years, some with physical separation of the silvering. Plus today they're so relatively small they're not worth using.
I've gone through many iterations and currently my home setup is this:
Having the hdd's in the safe means that total failure/ransomware takes, at most, a month's worth. I can survive that. The safe is also fireproof and in another building to the server.
This sort of thing doesn't need to be high capacity HDDs either - USB drives and micro-SD cards are very capable now. If you're limited on physical space and don't mind slower write times (which when automating is generally ok), the microSd's and clear labelling is just as good. You're not going to kill them through excessive writes for decades.
I also have a bunch of other stuff that is not critical - media files, music. None of that is unique and can be replaced. All of that is backed to a secondary "live" directory on the same pc - mostly in case of my incompetence in deleting something I actually wanted. But none of that is essential - I think it's important to be clear about what you "must save" and what is "nice to save"
The clear thing is to sit back and work out a system that is right for you. And it always, ALWAYS should be as automated as you can make it - humans are lazy sods and easily justify not doing stuff. Computers are great and remembering to do repetitive tasks, so use that.
Include checks to ensure the backed up data is both what you expected it to be, and recoverable - so include a calendar reminder to actually /read/ from a backup drive once or twice a year.
