They just sent out a mass email to users yesterday informing us of this, I got it too. I wonder if it wasn't getting enough attention, or if they wrote this back in June but only just made the article visible.

Fun fact: they spent quite a while working on a segmented 3D animation system for all the sprites. Every sprite is split up into segments, and then those segments are positioned in 3D space depending on the camera angle. They can even independently move each part of a character, like a leg, without having to create an entirely new sprite just for one frame.
This is 3 years old at this point, but this should give a good idea of how the new animation system works!
People need to understand what this will mean from a developer perspective before getting all up in arms. This initiative is more kneejerk emotional than it is realistic.
If you're going to watch only one of these videos, watch the second one:
I use Backblaze B2, but stored in an encrypted Restic container, set up using this guide:
Restic has been great for automating backups, and even letting me mount the encrypted storage to grab individual files. I like doing it this way since I don't have to trust Backblaze isn't reading my data - I know for sure that they can't.
Performance of storage that is both remote and encrypted is about what you would expect, but I don't need access to the data unless something bad happens.
Definitely recommend Motrix:
If the Google download link supports it, it should be fairly resistant to interruptions. If it doesn't, this might not help much, but you should still use this instead of just a browser.
I haven't tried to download a Google takeout, so you might need to get clever with how you add the download link to it.
If you just can't get it to work, you can try getting the browser extension to automatically send all downloads to Motrix. There is some setup required, though:

Good luck!
Damn, I guess you're right. It's a shame I don't have the money to move.
I'll have to abandon my elderly family, put my pets up for adoption, and stow away on a local fishing boat for a few months. I guess it's the only way.
...but seriously, this is my point. Yes, this is all bad, but what do you want me to do? Being able to just jump ship is a privilege I do not have. If the building is burning, then I'm not getting out in time.
You guys make this sound like some kind of doomsday movie.
I'm not downplaying how bad things are, but if you really have the several thousand dollars you'd need to actually uproot your entire life just sitting around, good for you. Most people don't have that kind of free money.
And good luck moving if you have pets, or have family members you care for. Have you guys even been to your "target" countries? Do you have plans for how you'll make income? How does healthcare work in your target country?
If you have all that figured out, and have nothing to leave behind, then good for you, I really do hope you end up better off. But this panicked response of "What are you waiting for, run!!!!!" is way more entitled than people seem to think.
Everyone sees this notice, I saw it on the official desktop Firefox client. They're just trying to reach as many people as possible.
They have to restrict themselves to pickpocketing roaming NPC fascists.
What? Fascists? RuneScape doesn't have...
Oh. HAM, I almost forgot about those guys.
OF requires strict government issued ID verification in some jurisdictions. Patreon does not, at least in the US.
That should be your deciding factor already. No one should have their privacy invaded just to send you a few bucks a month.
What do you mean? RPCS3 is an excellent emulator. It's not completely hardware accurate, almost no 3D emulator is, but it's still pretty good.

I'm really curious to learn how you get calls in so many different languages. I could definitely see Spanish, English, and maybe Vietnamese all being spoken in a general geographic area, but you listed a lot of diverse languages. Pretty cool if that's really all within one area!
