I don't understand this article or it's author. In my mind, the reaction to 9/11, the search for weapons of mass destruction, The quick disappearance in silencing of the occupy Wall Street movement, the quick disappearance and silencing of the Black lives matter movement....
Hell, let's go further back... The Vietnam war!
Sweet summer child... how are they just now figuring this out?
Not that I'm against the US action world war II, but even then the American populace needed some very strong convincing to become involved. Nobody wanted to touch it. The sentiment of the people then was that it was unimportant and distant and had no impact on the US.
I remember a history teacher pointing out that it was just a little bit odd, just a little bit unusual, that during such political unrest in the world that so many ships would be drydocked at Pearl harbor, just lined up all pretty.
To be clear, that war was a fully righteous cause but how we got there was... well, let's just say there's a lot of gray area.
Also there's a subtext I haven't seen news outlet calling out. Every time they put out one of those announcements for them to leave voluntarily (not that they actually have anywhere to go or any means to get there) somehow cell communications and internet went down simultaneously just prior. Almost as if, I don't know, somebody disabled communications and then put out a communication so that no one would find out and they would have an excuse. "They never left!"
Practically speaking, those are going to be the same servers. You're going to have to heavily edit group policy to prevent the builtin automated enshittification feature
Firefox is Mozilla's cash cow, it's how they're earning funds for their charitable work. And google btw isn't the only one paying them, which search engine is the default depends on where you are.
Thank you that's wonderful news! I don't have the time to keep up on browser news like that so I truly appreciate the information.
I will be honest. I didn't read that article because it's too click-baity. Using https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/ I see that Firefox is about 3% of 5b users. Not insignificant.
That 3% is about 150mil users. IMO, less than it should be. Google has great security, but terrible privacy. I switched middle of last year, from brave to FF for reasons I won't get into here. Suffice it to say, they are numerous.
It truly is troubling that they don't have independent funding. I, for one would pay $10/y for this service. Maybe I could donate?
This doesn't meet your criteria because not FOSS, but hear me out...
I used synctoy for a while and it can sometimes be glitchy. I switched to aomei backupper [sic]. It's basically shareware with a few nags. It seems pretty solid.
Only thing that I think would be better would be to use robocopy with the mirror switch. For help getting the syntax down and scheduling it with task scheduler, gpt3 should have you covered.
Robocopy is already built into win7, 8, 10, and 11.
For foss, I looked at bakula, kopia, and duplicati. It's been a while since I looked into them so I honestly can't recall why I didn't switch to them.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, I don't actively engage in that and try to avoid it, but pathologically I tend to get lost in doubt and dread. This occasionally spirals me in the direction of doom, with or without doing Google searches on climate change.
Admittedly it's a much less of an issue since I stopped using Reddit so that's probably got something to do with it. Beehaw has been a godsend.

This looks like an okay analysis.
