Depending on your use cases and apps, file locking can be problematic when sharing across SMB and NFS simultaneously, their locking semantics are slightly different

I see this said every time this comes up.

Are there any efforts starting or even attempting this? Or even taking an existing printer and replacing it's main board?

IMAP on O365 now requires "Modern Auth", which requires OAuth to authenticate access to mailboxes. Anything that connects via IMAP will need to be approved by the admins at this point (Including Thunderbird). Without the cooperation of your organization's IT team, you are not going to get far.

You can lose your Google account in the blink of an eye with no recourse, no access to support or anything.

With local and my own backups, I can choose to put them at any location, cloud or local.

And before anyone says we're snowflakes and can't take a joke -- he's not joking. This was not a joke. Vote accordingly, and be warned, you do NOT want to be living in a dictatorship.

I worry too -- if this gets any significant uptake, what's stopping Reddit from shutting off the spigot? Given their reasons for turning the screws on API and other policy changes, they may not take kindly to having "their" content re-posted elsewhere, let alone to a system designed specifically to escape reddit.

Oh, I know that happened. But that's just one little bit. The other items I mentioned will have far more broad, devastating and lasting effects.

The Local PD should have handled cases like that, to protect lawful voters. But I wager that the Local PD was already there, just in the wrong uniform.

There is not going to be a mob at a voting booth, or at a government building, in a way that matters.

It'll be done by people not taking action. It'll be done by installing people sympathetic to fascism installed to positions where they have the authority to approve or enforce (or not enforce) policies. It'll be done by people saying "oh, that's fine it doesn't affect me" , or "people will never allow it "...

Some of the things that people are allowing lately are downright evil. But it's okay because it's what my church said was good.

Rich people have been advocating for policies and programs that all but force people to work, at borderline slave wages just to survive or participate in society.

I don't see an end to this unless something drastic and uncomfortable happens.
