What is the least evil cloud service?
SiliconWizard:
There isn't any.
Infraviolet:
Post #9, I largely approve of your way of thinking. I have a dumb phone still, and a spare dumb phone kept in a cupboard and charged occasionally (battery health) for when the main dumbphone dies. I've got Linux Mint on all my PCs, feels a bit like the good old days when Windows was XP 9but works more reliably actually). The world certainly will come to an end if too many people and too much stuff get sucked in to "the cloud" and then one day "the cloud", or just a small section of it, crashes.

The cloud “crashing” would be termed “precipitating” 😁

There must be a least evil on a scale from most evil to least evil.
Again, it's not for a single source solution, it's for daily backups whereas weekly or (more realistic) monthly backups are going to be done offline, obviously.
I'll look at proton, also at paid google workspace. Google is not going to care about my data if i actually pay for their services, right?
right?

Yes, and i don't expect things to be different. a smartphone is a compromize between many uses, you're going to sacrifice something. It pisses me off immensely that i'm going to sacrifice earbuds, but truth to be told, i don't go running with headphones anymore, for which USB C adapter would be a complete dealbraker (the day i use wireless earphones is the day wired ones disappear from the face of the planet. I survived the in-ear crap fest, i'll survive wireless) and these days i care more about goodbetter photos and a better android experience as an app programmer.
