As a base: The Linux kernel source, GNU software sources and compiler binaries so I can - in theory - write missing software myself. For convenience probably some stable, offline-installable, ready to use distros.

I would probably also archive sources and binaries of day-to-day software like web-browsers (I might still have an intranet to use), office tools, photo management software, audio/video players and all the codecs, etc.

I think that's a solid starting point but im sure I'm missing something important :D

HP is a struggle (but yeah, Windows is too)

When Russia invaded Ukraine... It may sound like the first thing that came to my mind but for a few days I thought Russia would attack my country as well. Before, I was feeling very safe in my country.

Of course that's only the direct impact on me personally. Let's not forget how Ukrainians feel

Meanwhile the linked website is full of intrusive ads and hundreds of "legitimate interest" tracking cookies. Oh the irony...

Agreed. But as long as people don't actively leave Lemmy in favor of the new service I'd be okay with it I guess. I mean it would still be cool if Lemmy grew larger but hey, we got a nice little community here

No Forking: You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software. Lol 💀

I reverse engineered the Apple Photos library file on my Mac as a side project and can confirm that hidden assets are not actually encrypted or otherwise protected. The respective assets are just not shown in the apps and can be accessed via Finder on macOS.

I didn't know they were visible when you connect your phone to your PC but I guess it makes sense.

Don't make the same mistake as our generation and fall for TikTok, Instagram and that shit.

Almost everything is better without it, from concerts to weekend trips to relationships.

It's not an Apple fanboy but imo it's a lot more transparent on their side. There's a switch for each and every service to use iCloud or not in the settings. Services don't just re-enable their usage of iCloud after some random update and most importantly, they don't just re-install apps you previously deleted. Or bloatware.

Which language uses these signs? It truly looks like some kind of alien language

Yeah so effectively not federated. Pretty sure they're not actually interested in federating anyway
