It's not MS but Google Drive suffered data loss back in November. Any company can accidentally fuck something up. That's why I self host. When I eventually loose data, it will be my own damn fault!

Well, then by that logic, since desktop computing tasks don't really use all that ram: we shouldn't need more than 8GB in a desktop ever. Yes, my example was a tad extreme, vnc-ing into your own VM on your phone, but my point was rather phones are becoming capable and replacing traditional computers more and more. A more realistic example is when I was using Samsung Dex the other day I had 80ish chrome tabs open, a video chat, and a terminal ssh'd into my computer fixing it. I liked the overhead of ram I had above me. Was I even close to 12GB? No. But it gave me room if I wanted another background program or had to spin something up quickly without disrupting my flow or lagging out/crashing.

What about running a chrooted nix install and using a vnc to connect to it? While web browsing and playing a background video? Just because you don't use your ram doesn't mean others don't. And no, I don't use all my ram, but a little overhead is nice.

Then what should I be doing on my phone?

Been in Linux solely since 2008. I can't do shit in Windows when it's put in front of me.

Do people not self host it?

Acktuchlly, I had moved just moved to Colorado and ended up living in a family friend's shed for a couple months. Every few days i walked to the library for wifi to download shit and check email. My TouchPad went out on my acer aspire 1 so if I remember correctly I borrowed a friend's mouse to get it all setup and afterwards used only keyboard, but out of necessity. Eventually I did get a mouse, and I just use xfce now, but I seriously can't use a web browser without vim bindings now.

Just because I ran arch with ratpoison and firefox with Vim keybindings because I didn't have a mouse wasn't out of superiority, twas cause I was too poor to afford a mouse at the time.
