Few years ago I installed arch and started furiously pacman -Syu'ing just to see how long it would take before some botched update would send me scrambling for a fix. Still waiting for it to happen. Any day now.

Nice. In a few more generations my home office should be able to double as my boiler room.
There's 3 rooms filled with delicate instruments worth 8 figures total, but the toilets are equipped with the roughest single ply paper your butthole ever will see.
Excuse my ignorance but how is this a violation?
Who? Who needs to be able to plug 2 headphones into their phones?
I use ethically sourced 100% natural asbestos to filter my coffee. Very good flavor profile.
Banking apps seem to be hit and miss, though fortunately mostly hit. I've read stories, but personally never had any trouble with them. Sometimes they complain about the lack of gapps shit but somehow still work.
If only those worked on more devices. They're great, but severely limit what phone you can buy if you want to use them.
They don’t allow you e.g. to be in the the same fake LAN as a friend, which is what a VPN does.
That's not what a VPN does, that's what a VPN can do, if desired. What a VPN does is set up an encrypted tunnel between you and some remote network. That's it. How that remote network is laid out, how the traffic (and also what kind of traffic) is routed into/through/out of that network, and what the clients are allowed to do within are entirely up to the wishes of the network's owner. It might very well choose to isolate you from all the other clients on the network; that's not just a possibility, it's actually one of VPN's most important, most useful features.
That’s pretty much what those commercial “VPN” providers offer.
Those commercial VPN providers offer you a fully encrypted tunnel that you can route all your network traffic through if you wish. It's just that people don't generally use it as anything more than just a proxy. Still, the connection is a textbook VPN connection, it's there, and it's capable of things a regular proxy is not, if you choose to make use of them.
How is the term "proxy" more appropriate though? It's also the technical name for a concept that already exists. VPNs are by definition broader in scope than proxies, they work at a lower level of the networking stack and have different capabilities even if most people don't take full advantage of it. Anyway the point is that it's not a more appropriate term.
