She's pretty and deserves neck scritches. :) Also needs to see a farrier.

Yup, that's a giant house spider. No kidding, that's the vernacular name of the species, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_house_spider. Formerly filed under the tegenaria genus, now its own genus.
They're comically large and terror-inducing, but not aggressive. And they keep out more aggressive species too.
Windows 98 really sucked and running Unix at home became an option.
Was this a mistake?
Clarifying: are you asking if downloading the Proton Mail app through the Google Play Store gives Google access to your Proton account? If so, the answer is no.
Hey, friend. This sounds super stressful, and I hope things will not take too long to be sorted out. I hope you'll manage to make room to take care of yourself too until you get to the other side of this. I'm rooting for you!
All labels are imperfect, I guess. That's the nature of labels: a shorthand for a complex reality.
I don't know if the "trans" label is or isn't a good shorthand for the complex reality of your identity. But the important thing is: your identity is valid and yours, regardless of what labels you stick on it.
If you feel that you are a woman, be that partially or completely, then congratulations, girl, there you go. Or maybe what you feel like switches back and forth depending on your mood, or maybe you exist somewhere in the middle. That's valid too. There are other labels worth exploring in that space, non-binary, genderfluid... I suppose the only really useful thing here is to work out which ones resonate with you as a suitable shorthand for who you are.
Oh and who you are attracted to is irrelevant. Lots of trans gals are lesbians. Doesn't make them any less trans.
Firefox's stance on privacy, like Apple's, is to some extent branding. Arguably it always was. You should still use Firefox (or any other third party browser) if it works for you. Ecosystem diversity matters.
CP/M or VAX/VMS. Although I wouldn't exactly say "pleasure".
They didn't drop the don't be evil thing. It's still right there in the code of conduct where it always was, they just moved it to the conclusion of the document so it's the last thing that remains with you. See for yourself: https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/
The supposed removal is a perfect example of the outrage-bait headlines I'm discussing in another comment.
It's not the company it once was, but there are also a lot of outrage-bait headlines about it that don't hold up well to scrutiny.
For instance, there have been a lot of Lemmy posts about Chrome supposedly removing the APIs used by adblockers. I figured I'd validate that on my own by switching to the version of uBlock that is based on the new API. Well... As it turns out, it works fine. It's also faster.
Mind you, figuring out the actual facts behind each post gets exhausting, and people just shutting down and avoiding the problem space entirely makes some sort of sense. That, and it is healthy for an ecosystem to have alternatives, so I'd keep encouraging usage of Firefox and such if only on that basis alone.
The ONE time in half a decade I take a trip to Seattle...
"Possible cyberattack" plus "no threat actors or ransomware group has taken responsibility" sounds to me like someone fucked up and is timid about owning up.
