Given that not EVERYBODY does EVERYTHING on Linux in the CLI, can anyone recommend a GUI archive handler like engrampa, but that is not bound to p7zip and will instead use 7zz?

This appealed to me, too. Maybe the demo they are going for is, old.

That looks like nothing so much as Season 1 of The Good Place.

Humility is a great start!
Humor, also. Amuse others with your wit. Don't be insulting, it's not necessary
Be willing to have your opinion discounted for a while (see, humility). When you turn out to have been right often enough they will come around. If it doesn't work out that way, hmmm, maybe you lacked some necessary knowledge.
Actual knowledge can often trump an ability to figure it out quickly. Pay attention to people with experience in a new situation, even if their CPU clock is running slower than yours. Respect their database.

I don't, very much. Mostly I read, and move on.
Once in a while, I find something longer which I really want to read later. I save those to InstaPaper.

FTA: Channel One said the voting scam on 26 April "must be the first and last time that anyone tries to control the audience's choice".
Yeah. Right.

I get the point, but "like a toothbrush" is a stretch. Dentists think none of us spends enough time with the toothbrush.

kottke.org - I know it's big and popular but it's still got a very personal feel.
nancylebov.livejournal.com - Input Junkie She is the Button Lady you may know for many years now. Very eclectic subject matter
vihart.com for the math and the attitude.

It's unclear to me why would we expect corporations that are designed to seek only profit to care about issues that are unrelated (at best) to profit. Such as human rights.

If you cringe a little you're really almost-acknowledging that you haven't /really/ done anything for your privacy. Maybe using Apple products is a bit of g33k virtue-signaling?
