For context, do you use Linux or have you contributed to open source?

I don't get your point at all. I know that you do not say that, but you don't even have any counter argument.

I don't get what you try to say with your last paragraph. It sounds like you are worried that the poor 97% of Windows and Mac users are losing something because Linux is rising. Which makes absolutely no sense.

I believe many open source projects that are used by large corporations find a way to make money with that, at least by offering support or consulting or with sponsorships.

There are volunteer projects of which the developer doesn't profit of but are used by corporations but I doubt they are the "largest" transfer as written in the post.

I'm not sure whether it is a good idea for your mods, but in my Linux home folder I have a link to a folder of documents on my Windows drive that I want to be able to access from both.

It was a symbolic link first, but I made a bind mount now which is treated more like a normal folder.

what do you even live for if curiosity is not enough of a reason to do something

There are some concepts for hybrid maglev-rail tracks that would at least solve the first point, similar to how rail was electrified over time. It would still be very expensive though.

It is also problematic that you can send keypresses to the other person, especially since she was only using the receiver for a mouse.

I mentioned it because it was an annoying limitation for me. 100mb is not a lot for media and zip files nowadays. And I don't know any good free services that will work more conveniently than simply sending with Telegram, suggestions welcome.

Telegram let's you send 2gb files, and stores them forever. Signal has a 100mb limit.

It also used to be easier to set up on multiple devices at the same time, but I believe that Whatsapp and Signal have improved that by now too.

Telegram has no end-to-end encryption for normal messages
