Yep, I had the same thought. I run Win10 on my desktop and PopOS on my laptop; I plan to keep running Win10 for as long as possible, but if this cloud-based nonsense is the future, I'm not hesitating to also switch my desktop to Linux. This stuff is so ridiculous.

Heartwarming: the worst people you know are all fighting!

I hope they shred each other.

Yeah, I wish :/ Unfortunately, our international institutions (and even some world leaders) are still refusing to hold Russia accountable for mining and destroying the Kakhovka dam. Russian mining in Ukraine is extremely bad; I honestly fear it's going to be as bad as what the Khmer Rouge did to Cambodia.

Something neat that I've been reading about, though, is that Cambodians are helping Ukrainians with the de-mining by training more mine-sniffing rats. It's been pretty successful in Cambodia because the rats are small enough that they can detect the mines without setting them off.

It's like a fire that just keeps burning

I don't remember hearing anything about the Brits training Ukrainian pilots (would be really cool if they are, though!), but I've heard multiple times that the French are training them on the Mirage 2000.
