    Just a side note. Rclone is not the same as GNOME gdrive access. Rclone does a clone of the data to your local, GNOME gives you online access and you basically open from remote like using Seadrive client.

    My point being Proton could easily add same online account with GNOME help and do the same.








  • Ah right we should inform comedians, since everyone is so offended by harmless joking in 2025. Dude, it is(was) Dull Men’s Club…assumption being it is men here, that are dull, and are boring their wives talking about Linux. (I understand that some men may have husbands, and many women contribute to Linux use and FOSS maintenance, and Maybe your wife or husband likes talking about Copy on Write Filesystem OS choices, but stats say many people do not want to hear about OS choices, and stats say in a “men’s” group the majority would have a wife that falls into that Venn diagram–as opposed to a husband.


  • Yes they would think we were softies.

    I even see it just in my families immediate generations. My grandfather rode his bike everywhere, and never owned a car. He was fit. He got hit by a car once and waited at the hospital, after a few hours he said screw it, and cycled home.

    For me growing up most families had one car, which the working parent drove, so if you needed to get to a friends house or anywhere it was by foot or by bike if it was outside of town. Or waiting several hours at a place for a ride. Being further from home meant you had to sometimes get creative for food. Friend and I once sharpened sticks and spearfished and cooked lunch over a dried stick fire rather than walk all the way back home.

    My adult kids are hardworking individuals but they grew up with more modern convenience of 2 cars, uber, functioning bus system, food delivery. If their car or phone app broke, I think they would find walking or biking somewhere a deterrent to following through, especially if it was raining.

    And there is the teen generation who you hear instantly complain “oh my gawd, my uber is like 1 minute late, like I have been standing here sooo long” LOL And a parent suggesting they walk leads to “oh my gawduh, then I will be all sweaty!”

    That teen is never spearfishing because the walk home is too far. If their phone dies (along with payment app) they will probably have a breakdown/ feel stranded. My grandfather would never be able to fathom somebody being so unreliant on themselves let alone Somebody from 150 years ago seeing an able bodied teen not be able to use their legs.




  • I read a good post about this before, the summary was: a philanthropist billionaire helps causes specific to their discretion. While their rise to wealth has taken the toll from many victims, some dead directly because of it, their donations back may not even help the location they robbed it from.

    You can picture United Health suddenly helping world hunger, it doesn’t bring back all the people who died miserably from denied claims, or those who are still alive but became permanently disabled by lack of care.
