Most "simulation" games aren't simulators
I was just browsing the Google Play Store and I am getting frustrated seeing games being tagged with the genre, but aren’t actually simulating anything. E.g.

None of the documentaries from GCN+, which is Global Cycling Network’s streaming app, are on my usual torrent sites. I’m not a cool warez kiddy with access to niche private trackers. Is it possible that there are no webrips out there? Do they watermark somehow?

I got a box full of a bunch of stuff from over the years. Some big, some small, some expensive, some cheap. It seems like a shame to throw it all in a landfill, with or without personal data.

web/low memory alternatives to Krita and GIMP please
recently I bought a Chromebook, I love it so much, it has Linux container enabled and I downloaded Firefox, GIMP, and Krita, but my Chromebook is only 64GB, so that can be a lot!!! So what web apps or low storage alternatives can I use?? I know Photopea, but what about drawing? Thank you!!

Why does Gboard replace spaces with characters I add between words?
For example, if I type out a sentence and decide I want to add asterisks around a word for emphasis, why does Gboard replace the space between the previous word and the emphasized word instead of just adding the new character? Is this added functionality for something I just don’t understand?...
