I use OneDrive as it's the easiest way to share stuff between my desktop, Surface, and phone - but if it's anything I don't want public, it gets encrypted first. (Even if it's just "normal" photos with identifiable humans in).
Is it secure? I assume it's at the "Chocolate Teapot" security level.

That's exactly what I use it for as well - I have a bunch of tiny, self-contained utilities (one EXE, no install, etc - think the SysInternals stuff) that I like to keep up to date and synchronized across the systems I use. OneDrive is great for that.
If it gets breached? Obviously I'll be concerned there was a breach at all, but the fact that those files got compromised is completely unimportant.

I also use OneDrive for general stuff. It has a section called "Personal Vault" requiring 2FA with Microsoft Authenticator that I use for more sensitive stuff.
Really sensitive stuff stays on an SSD in a bank vault. Different levels of paranoia

I don't put any of my data online, not knowingly anyway.
Who knows what security they have and even then it can be hacked. Not that I have top secret information, I just don't want anyone to know about that cheeze-whiz incidence.

No one can protect your stuff as well as you can.
If security is important, then don't let anyone else have your stuff.

Yes.
It's secure. (as secure as you can keep your own password secure).
It's friggin' practical.
It's safe in case of catastrophic failure.
Remember that 99.9% (made up statistic) of people do not have the technical knowledge or discipline to make backups and duplicating backups and storing the duplicate backup offsite and also to make sure the backup actually works.

Makes sense ... We use GDrive for shared work in a team of 4.
It works great for remote work from home office.
BTW, I like your definition of CI/CD

Lose your password or account, or get a "share" wrong, and you've lost your data. I don't see getting by without at least one physical backup.

Strangest supermarket online shopping substitutions[^]
To save you going near the Sky News (which requires PPE at the best of times), I'll summarize:
Dog chews instead of chicken breasts.
Toilet rolls instead of bread rolls.
A bag of onions instead of a loaf of bread.
Shoe polish instead of fruit.
Bacon rather than BBQ-flavoured crisps (Chips for the west ponders).
Easter egg despite ordering hot dog rolls.
A roll of tinfoil which was swapped out for a chocolate Santa.
Strawberries instead of bin bags.
Alcohol-free bottle of wine in place of a standard bottle.
And my personal favourite: Toilet roll replaced with Sellotape (Scotch tape for West ponders, Durex for Ozzies).
I'm assuming that either this was computerised via QA, or the UK supermarkets employ surrealist packers ...

If those in my area are anything to go by, just take a look at these people, and try to convince me they care about the job they do.

The ones round here are all tidy folk - happy to help, friendly, willing to take (and make) a joke.
Self-scan Jan can be difficult to understand (she had a stroke about 6 years ago and is still relearning how to talk) but she takes care (and the piss).

Mom-and-pop shops, maybe, but grocery chains around here tend to hire whoever's willing to work for (barely-above) minimum wage. This is the result.

No, I'm talking Tesco and Asda ... Possibly the lack of other jobs around here motivates them, or the Welsh are just generally community minded?

Because you live in a war zone maybe? That might be distracting.
Other than that people are people which mean that normal distributions follow. So most of them do the job in an average way. Some are much better. Some are much worse.
One hopes that for some jobs like heart surgeon and bomb disposal expert that there is more focus than some other jobs but even those in some way are going to follow the normal distribution.

MIL said one time she had to go and get some Durex. What the!!? In this neck of the woods, Durex are known for selling condoms. Scotch tape is the one I'd have recognized. That ah, that was a fun conversation.

Humans make mistakes.
And people are much more likely to complain about mistakes than they are to comment on success.
So the mistakes are popularized more.
