    For the most part it's a business for them, and that's what matters, they target Mac users because they are more likely to pay. If you need speed and customization there is neovim and Helix (Rust based). From users to users, no business interests here. Or VSCode just works for almost everyone.

    I don't. There are great storage solutions you can use: Wasabi s3 via rclone. Hetzer storage boxes. OVH and any cheap S3 storage via rclone.

    Faking Pixel 5a

    I've read on reddit that Google still provides unlimited photos backup if you own Pixel 5a and lower. On rooted Android you can fake that and get free backup storage, but who wants to give pictures to Google?! I was thinking if it's possible or done by someone to create an environment on Docker by faking device info to access that free storage and backup rclone crypted files as images (by .jpeg fake extension or something)?

    Any Cloud + rclone + Syncthing

    Some people may don't know that it doesn't matter which cloud provider you will choose, get the cheapest one but reliable. I got Wasabi S3 storage, 1TB/6$ Use rclone to mount into your filesystem, create encrypted mount point and send your files there. Now you have Wasabi(or any rclone supported cloud) and what they see are garbage (encrypted content). Also, since the mounted point is just like a directory, you can use FileRun, NextCloud, whatever. I use Syncthing to sync dirs from Phones and other PC.

    Why is Monero hated by Bitcoiners

    I'm new to Crypto-currency system and found Monero only logical way to move forward, if I would want investment I would go to SP500. Seems like for most bitcoiners it's an investment and not a way to buy-sell, it's not a currency for them, so what's point? It becomes ponzi/pyramid scheme that way. Also noticed that Monero is hated in that circles (hello Nostr). What's your opinion on the matter?
