tbf there is not really a good solution to the 'ephemeral aspect' problem

the only way to truly not sync metadata to or btwn servers at all is to use a p2p model, in which you cant send anything if one of the parties is offline

simplex might be a bit better in this regard, but still relies on servers for syncing. at least it doesnt extensively replicate metadata like matrix does though

so it depends on your threat model whether this is a compromise or not

however, if you are reading comics, you should get a bigger screen probably a tablet, look into boox and meebook, both are android based

i would not recommend color screens rn, they still have significantly lower contrast and resolution and refresh is slow af

for a vm yes, but depending on the game you can just firejail and block internet access

depends on the source, but generally no, run the game in a vm or container

not really true depends on the field

spend more time in the shell. you will naturally learn the most commonly used commands and useful flags for them. soon you will be surprised by how much you know. having good typing speed helps reduce the friction a lot. i have not found need to specifically "memorize" anything consciously.

for obscure things, write a script and put it in a scripts folder, have a comment at the top explaining what it does for reference later.
