You addressed it yourself: "No one ever does." You've chosen low security on the device itself, knowing or at least believing, that no one's going to scoop it up and look, whether out of decency, fear of repercussions, or simply not having the opportunity because it's on your person. The company didn't ask, and actually did do it.
One is hard pressed to use an Android phone without signing into Google, but even on Samsung hardware, it's not too hard to sign out of a Samsung account. By not using a Samsung account and by not using Google Photos, they get none of this, and there's nothing preparing galleries for me.
Can't speak to the situation at the time, but I uninstall OneDrive, which stops it. I stuck with it for quite a while before becoming more and more irritated, because I really liked how well Office worked with it, but we're past that point. I use ProtonDrive at considerably more cost than the £16 @swarfendor437 cited, but I DO use all of their services except Pass (waiting on feature parity with Bitwarden) and wallet. (I remain surprised that the Proton userbase voted for a bitcoin wallet and AI writing assistant, but at least neither can touch my stuff).
It was OneDrive nagging that started me down the path to Windows abandonment, and Recall that finalized it.
I must have done this: I know I do not use Google Drive or Photos.
All of the above. Around trusted areas, my phone is often set aside where anyone can access it but outside of that, I have never left it anywhere. Ever forget your phone somewhere, leave it at the store at the checkout counter... Me: Nope.
I know plenty of other people that have and do, many times.
I use protonmail, but not the drive. Likely due to lack of need - I get 40 or 60 gigs free storage from the company so...
I assume you mean Murena; a free Protonmail account is only 1 GB. My cloud storage use is around 21 GB currently, so a paid account was needed. Plus, I'd had some issues with the VPN I'd been using at the time, so moving into an ecosystem I found much more trustworthy and which provided multiple needed services felt worthwhile.
...it broke my GRUB so badly I had the dreaded GRUB command prompt, so not lately. The main thing keeping me from retrying is that I don't like how System76's devs are behaving regarding kernel development. I'd be willing to give them another look when their Cosmic DE is out of alpha.
Linus Torvalds actually made a number of the points I did, with almost as much meandering when he mentions having to build packages for multiple distros. Relatively tame, but slight language warning; it is Linus Torvalds after all.
He's not addressing any of the specific independent package formats, but his point was that making packages for numerous distros isn't ideal.
The danger of this viewpoint is that you are narrowing choice. Perhaps the best way forward is we should return to .tar.bz, extract, cmake, make, install.
This explains the difference between Free Software movement and FOSS, you are never truly free with FOSS:
What is interesting in the above interview is that you will learn that Linux was initially proprietary software.
So we need to be clear, politically, using GNU/Linux is a political stance and therefore political views on different software has a presence in any discussion thread.
It is quite true that internal politics within development in Linux/GnuLinux are something users are affected by and discussions of which are beneficial to the users and members. This type of politics covers the very real human nature and interactions that lead to decision and policy making in GnuLinux that have a direct relation to the users.
It is unfortunate that such terms cross boundaries. Governmental Politics such as those covered by your link that I moderated have no place in any discussion thread on this particular forum.
Neither FOSS nor Gnu relate to Dr. Fauci, Cerns LHC experiment and the Illuminati New World Order.
Prior to that, it was a claim that the World Trade Center was "dustified" using reverse engineered alien technology.
Multiple claims about Windmill and 5G conspiracies.
There is a difference between posting meaningful and informative content and posting unsupported and misleading claims.
