Doesn't really matter to a regular user, in that case it's"Firefox doesn't work"

I don't really understand who you are getting at here. Everyone I know uses this combined with regular ad blockers. Anyway, once they figure out how to properly inject ads into the stream blocking is going to get really hard.

It's pretty easy, they should just create some sort of conversion therapy, it's not like you are born like that and there is 0 biological reason or proof for that sort of condition. I mean it's pretty easy to choose any other spiritual outlet or meaning to life than religion.

And I don't think you understand OPs point. Of course you should be paranoid as a person like that, but most users aren't targets. If you, as a regular user, get this paranoid about using computers, maybe you should evaluate your priorities.

Because it's easy and free, GitHub has great static page hosting

It's a bit of a meme because german politics is so heavily lobbied by our car industry.

I use backblaze as a target with duplicacy, pretty cheap and allows free downloads of up to 3x your data per month. I use about 500gb there.

3-2-1 means 3 copies total on 2 different media with 1 copy off-site. An easy way to implement would be make a local copy outside of your NAS/RAID(different NAS or external HDD) and create a copy of that somewhere in the cloud or hosting(backblaze for example)

You should probably not look at your whole storage when thinking about Backup, but create different logical pools. For example I have 3 pools: media files, personal files&photos, app config files for my docker.

I don't backup the media files because I can reacquire them, I have a very strict backup policy for my personal files and a more relaxed policy for my config files.

I use duplicacy to manage a local copy and a cloud copy and do restore tests sometimes. Duplicacy can also manage retention of its snapshots so I can keep years old versions of my personal files but only a few weeks worth of config

Doesn't have to be a line, might just be the last straw

Well you could start by regulating the major US companies since those are the root of the issue described here. The internet as an abstract space is perfectly fine because there are enough independent providers for the required services to use or host on the internet. It's the few that abuse.

You didn't offend me, but you also didn't really clarify what you actually want/need which made me think you just wanted to complain 🤷‍♂️ steam works and it's way better than all of the alternatives. While you might find solutions for just managing games, nothing offers the level of "just works" as steam input and proton in Steam.
