Are there people seriously thinking they’re making art by generating images with AI?

Because it’s mostly about checking compliance boxes than really caring about security.

Probably for the same reason as in most companies: Microsoft “assured” them that their data is safe… who cares about the Cloud Act, right?

Unless you're using streaming services like Netflix, in which case you're stuck with 720p because of widevine.

The comparison to 1999 is not entirely accurate. It doesn't take into account that most physical banking locations closed down. At least here in Belgium for example, you have to go far to find one, and it's often on appointment only.

> Do people have to install Gmail on iOS?

Why would Gmail be pre-installed on iOS?

It's not about being secure. Google allows devices with up to 10 years without any patches to pass their integrity API. Meanwhile Graphene OS, which is very secure and up-to-date, doesn't pass.

It offers value to parasites who buy domains and resell them?

Because upstream LineageOS doesn't support microg out of the box. You can install it but it needs signature spoofing to pass Google's SafetyNet garbage. Bonus point for some roms that allow you to relock the bootloader after the install (iodéOS, CalyxOS).

I'm biased but when I see Discord as the only way of communication, it doesn't make for a serious project. I wish more projects would rely on IRC/Matrix + forums.

Fractional scaling is very common with high dpi screens. I don't I'd be able to have a 175% scaling on my 14" 3k screen with X11.

I would venture to say that there is little overlap between X11 users and people with high-DPI screens.

I don't have a static IPv4 address and I have to use a DDNS built into the Caddy plugin on my OPNSense router. From what I understand, you can't get a static "local" (I know, IPv6 has no direct equivalent) address to use for a reverse proxy — at least not in an easy manner. I might be completely wrong but that's why I don't bother with IPv6.

My ISP refuses to give you a static IPv6 prefix unless you're a business customer, despite having an "unlimited" amount of them. This results in me not bothering to set it up properly and focusing on IPv4 still.

What exactly do you mean by upgrade story? The Libre Office UI hasn't changed for a long time (although there are new UI options l'île the ribbon, etc), I'd think the switch would be pretty straightforward.
