"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.

Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism.

Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance."

Thanks to support from @NGIZero and @calyxos, I was able to improve Seedvault's app backup. Taking inspiration from @restic and @borgbackup 2, backups now use de-duplication, compression and chunking - resulting in smaller and faster backups. Snapshots allow you to restore previous states of your device. Available on free Androids soon.
