There's been a 64 bit version of FoxPro for years and years [1].

No, not the official VFP as released by Microsoft, but a version made by a well known VFP developer.

Besides that I do know of some developers actually using this for building their software.

No connections here, just know that it exists and is used and well before LLMs became the answer to everything.

Is there anything one can reasonably run on a mac mini M2 with just 24GB RAM or should I not even try?

Just tried it. Google lens is fine, it does work.

However -some way or the other- it decided to only show pictures from 2024 and older. Something is messed up in that respect and thus I switched back.

It's not a consent, because the options are "Yes" and "Yes", you cannot opt out unless you quit the call.

Is google lens still available? That's perhaps the only cloud feature I sometimes use, in order to translate Chinese text to English or similar.

Also is it possible to undo (in case there's something I don't like?) Is it just a matter of adding the app back to your account?

If you can't run a recent browser anymore then there's always the option to run the browser in a VM.
