Manjaro Gnome worked with my Lenovo T480s out of the box.

Check out exif tool. You could also incorporate jq a command line json parser, to extract data from the json file. If you are trying to do higher level sorting/organization, you may consider using a scripting language other than bash/zsh. Guaranteed there is a Python package for reading exif data.

I’ll have to check out this book. Just remember HTML cannot be parsed with regex

You could create a Python script to do this. There is a library called psutil that would help. Basically,

• iterate over mounted drives and see how much each has available
• based on these values, iterate over your backup files and separate them into chunks that will fit on each drive
• copy chunks to respective drives

Would be a fun little project even for a beginner I think.

Definitely not humanity’s biggest problem. Chromium becoming the de facto browser creates a situation where one entity controls standards and influences how the web operates, impacting user choice and freedom, and reduces incentives for privacy and security updates.

This already happened once with IE.

I only use Firefox on desktop, but I doubt it will be a relevant choice much longer.

Edit: wrt telemetry, I was referring to the Android operating system. They collect anything and everything on users and all nearby devices.

I see it as a good thing. Apple is not without faults, but anything that keeps Google from harvesting more data is a win for humanity. The Safari browser is the only thing stopping Google’s browser monopoly. Unfortunately it is forced, and 99% of Apple users probably have no clue they are holding up the last line of defense.
