Who said “FOSS computer”? The FOSS that saved the night was ffmpeg. That he also ran it on a Linux system is a nice little FOSS bonus, but it’s not the headline.

Google Drive eliminated its full sync default a long time ago. Ironically, I have the opposite complaint – I’d like some folders to be synchronized ALL the time, and some NEVER, and Google Drive no longer gives you any direct control over what gets synchronized. It’s all controlled by some implacable internal algorithm with no exposed preferences.
Inkscape and LibreOffice Draw do all that, but they’re not bitmap editors.
