No, it's because WhatsApp was free at a time where SMS were not (you might have a few included in your plan, but you couldn't rely on that)

I am a tech nerd over 30, using a mixture of windows and linux, and watch porn. While I'm not a furry, they have great art IMHO so people can share it even if they aren't 100% into it. Some of it might even be ideologically driven, against the anti-porn drive: Add a lot of good porn content so that in case e.g. Reddit shuts down NSFW there is a good alternative.

I also heard that. But is it actually the case that a significant number of people don't use the file explorer (because they often use tablets/smartphones and not a desktop/laptop PC as main device, which is what I heard as reason) or is it just something people say?

I remember Macron once was like "well, US is too free for us, China is too restrictive, we need to be in the middle".

For me, it has gone to normal. All the subreddits I frequented are open and populated with the exception of one which has been permanently privated, but not to protest.

Tbh, most websites I visit probably aren't that important that they need to be archived. I would assume installing this extension would just contribute to a bloated archive with little additional value.

Wow, that's awful. I just use Firefox mobile + Adblock, which isn't very nice to reddit, but at least allows a somewhat decent experience - except for missing features like /r/Subreddit/comments, for which you have to go in Desktop mode.

On Android, I was not able to install it using Firefox (Button was there, but clicking it did nothing), but was using Google Chrome.

Um, I would say that stackoverflow contributes to productivity, but reddit is likely mostly detrimental. Never used Reddit for work, not even programming subreddits, but StackOverflow all the time.

Pro essentially offers 10 years of updates instead of 5. Also, you can install some kernel security patches without restarting.

The services are listed in https://ubuntu.com/pro - IMHO nothing relevant for end users there, it's mostly for enterprises where any downtime is really expensive. But for normal users, rebooting every once in a while shouldn't hurt too much IMHO.

The compressed archive of reddit from 2005.5 until 2022 is 2 TB: https://academictorrents.com/details/7c0645c94321311bb05bd879ddee4d0eba08aaee

Uncompressed it is likely way larger though.

I think Ubuntu Pro is mainly for people who don't want to switch to new releases very often. I think most people would prefer new features to not having to adjust every 4 years.

When I want to give Ubuntu money (tbh only did once, when I installed it on the notebook I am currently using), I just donated something at the form which appears when you download it, https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you#contributions-form
