Mentally I say Fs-tab because its filesystem table but if I ever say it out loud its f-stab

Could you not apply this "funded by the CIA" argument to other things such as... The Tor Network? Which was created by the US Military Naval Research? Also some US government departments have donated to Tor. Does that mean Tor is breached?

"To solve this problem, we have re-engineered our entire login process to never send the login password to our server, which has the added benefit of helping protect against MITM (man-in-the-middle) attacks."

Steam has Proton now which is a god send for Linux gaming. https://www.protondb.com/ which is just a setting in the Steam client.

For games it depends on what might interest you. If you are into history sorta stuff, maybe Civilization V or VI? If you want more of a fun game that a lot of non gamers play, you try The Sims or Stardew Valley. If you want something like the current trend of games, try Helldiver's 2 or Baldurs Gate 3.

If you ultimately don't have a preference. Just browse the sales on steam for games that look interesting as well as browsing https://www.humblebundle.com/ which can sometimes be good. Just check it against that protondb or look up if the game runs good on Linux first before purchasing.

I know it will eventually be blocked by YouTube like Twitch did but you could try ublock Origin with this filter list or another custom filter list. Works pretty well for me.

The other two I wouldn't know about because I never used those features previously.

A post this long needs to be peer reviewed and have several references in APA 7 format.

I forget about port forwarding because I never get to seed because of my abysmal upload speed.

Mullvad or Proton. IVPN is also good.
