The Earth's orbit is an ellipse, not a circle, and therefore the Earth speeds up or slows down depending on where on its orbit it is at the time. In turn this means that the duration of the solar day fluctuates from day to day, from a bit under 24h to a bit over 24h and back.

So if you take a picture every 24h precisely the sun will appear to move horizontally a little bit on top of the expected vertical movement.

Messing with the EFI partition, for instance by attempting to have two of those on separate disks, will probably cause you more pain than Windows will. As far as I understand, only one EFI partition can be configured in BIOS as the boot partition, so you will have to change the configuration in BIOS whenever you want to boot to the other OS.

Windows does have a history of changing the default EFI bootloader once in a while; however your chosen bootloader is still there, just not marked as the default anymore. A Windows app like EasyUEFI will let you change the default back.

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!

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".
