Exactly that's a job for the parser / consumer.

No, I'm kind of serious, the comment situation is already solved in JSON... about the rest yeah, Yaml might be easier but the different isn't that much. Non tech people can't edit Yaml properly either so.
There's a lot of JSON parsers that don't mind to see comments there, just ignore them. And there's also the "_comment" / "$comment" thing.
Yes, they could've just used JSON. Totally pointless waste of time.
Finally a decent Linux tablet that can actually replace many laptops. Only thing is that it would've been great with an i3-N300.
While I don't disagree with you about the potential of those alternatives they won't cut it for the average graphic designer... usually not due to the lack of features but most likely because of the network effects / dominant position that Adobe holds over their field. People who need to collaborate with others and are pressured to get stuff done can't afford the slightest compatibility issue.
Just use ungoogled-chromium.
The way to get Linux more appealing is to get proprietary software makers, like Adobe, Microsoft (Office), you know the actual things people need to do their job, to make software for Linux. Steam Deck is a good example of this, it works because Steam ported the games to Linux...
+1, this is poised to create issues and potentially ruin a few relationships.
OP's sister is used to Apple services and not even other payed cloud services come close to the level of integration Apple provides. It just works, is a real thing inside the Apple ecosystem and anything the OP might get will be inferior and she will complain.
On the day the service is down or something doesn't work / some update breaks the sync or wtv she'll just be there with an "entitled atitude" pressuring the OP to fix things.
This is like one of those situations where you have a LOT of work setting up and managing something and people will never recognize the work, help, split the bill or be patient. People are so expected tech to "just click a button" and everything just works and is free that they aren't even able to understand the complexity of what's behind it all and the amount of work it is required to get "a simple file sync" to work.
Expect bugs because NC is a pile of crap. She will get very annoyed, not even other payed cloud services come close to the level of integration Apple provides.
you have to comply with police orders to moderate your platform…
Your points are fair however, where does it stop? If the police says "make it all plaintext" then what happens? It is a police request after all.
This thing where chat platforms and others "need" to comply with police / govt orders and remove content is very tricky... should platforms really censor everything the govts ask for? What if it is a group chat about a corrupt political party in power (with proof)? The govt will say it is CSAM, them Signal will shut it down and our democracies are gone.
To make it really clear: I'm not for breaking the law, and I don't think that content should be on such platforms. The problem is that once you start removing that content the precedent will be abused to remove other actually important stuff because "it is CSAM" and the E2EE doesn't have ways to check if is is really CSAM nor should it be the judge of the content.
Yeah but at the same time you've ISPs that deploy routers that can initiate GRE tunnels between your network and their side for "support".
