Sudo had many vulnerabilities in past some of them unpached for years and it is bloated with unnecessary functionality that increases the attack surface. Doas is more secure and minimalist for example. Not an expert to say if Ubuntu approach is correct but I appreciate their effort.

It depends on the instance. I created an account on mastodon with guerillamail which would be even more suspicious for an average website than your alias email. A tip, if you do not mind using icloud email, you can even create one with some effort without giving real personal data and using apple hardware (Virtual machines ftw), you can take advantage of its free alias email addresses which would be accepted even on most strict websites.

At least a couple of dollars one time donation if I used the software for some time. If it is very useful software for me I donate more often. I try to avoid proprietary software for ideological reasons, so can't really compare for this reason.

In several years it will probably be more of these channels to the point of being very prevalent on YouTube. Even if the AI stocks crash, the technology is there and like now and before there will be companies or individuals making low effort slop for clicks and money.

I liked that in the beginning of The Boys it was mostly normal humans approaching supers with creativity. In later seasons it seems more like superheroes against supervillains with some normal people on each side. Like a marvel series but with gore and obscenities.

Google itself as of this moment never did put adds on a lock screen, it is the manufacturer or third party apps who can do it. Some Realme and Xiaomi phones do it afaik and probably some other brands.

Apple and its consequences on computing world...

I can not deny that it changed the smartphone industry big time but it was not for the best in my opinion. I understand Apple products appeal for some people though, they have subjectively good design for some, and are objectively very stable and easy to use for a non techie. My issues are how closed IOS is, the overall paradigm of domestication of users, being very anti repair and on average more expensive.
