Haven't tried it. Is it better in this regard?

[-] French75@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 hours ago

Yeah. That's what opencloud uses. Their app does a handoff to Collabora.

Ill have a look at Joplin. Thanks.

they would have won the AI race not by building the best model, but by being the only company that could ship an AI you’d actually trust with root access to your computer. [...] So why didn’t they? Maybe they just didn’t see it.

Apple has never been a early mover, they always intentionally come very late to the game. And Siri has been well behind the curve for more than a decade. Leading the way in a new product domain like this just isn't in their DNA.

I think the author is right that people would have trusted Apple, but people use co-pilot, and people use Gemini. The bar for trust is already pretty low.

Hey all, I'm searching for something self hosted that lets me access, read, and edit .md and spreadsheets. I don't need functionality for presentations, word docs, or photos; really just spreadsheets and markdown, and a good mobile experience.

Opencloud is fast, simple, lightweight, and works great for multi-user editing, but Collabora is just so-so on desktop and borderline unsuable on mobile. Also, the build in split-view markdown editor is effectively unusable on mobile. Nextcloud has more features, but I mostly don't use them. It's markdown editor is better, but it has the same Collabora problem. I'm probably about 50% desktop and 50% mobile use.

Any recommendations?

lol, right? I was literally thinking "What about Arc?"

I’m not having any issues with my current setup

I'm lazy. I just want things to work. So in your shoes, I wouldn't go trying to create work if things work fine.

I run Debian on my home server and my VPS, but I chose it for familiarity and stability. I wouldn't say Debian is inherently barebones; you can add/build whatever you want. It is a longstanding, capable distro that is the base of many other distros. It's a solid choice that favors stability. And if things are working with Mint, why break them?

By contrast, I run CachyOS on my laptop because it's a newer laptop and the rolling release model of CachyOS (and Arch, which it's built on) gets the updates and hardware support I need to make my laptop work. It's simpler, better, and less work, and significantly more functional than it's be with Debian, because the rolling release distro moves fast. My home server is 10 year old hardware, so the more stable Debian is fine.

Faking disabilities is hardly unique to Stanford; it's rampant in California. There are sometimes significant benefits afforded disabled people, and very little detection and enforcement of disability fraud.

I'm not suggesting it would take much, I'm merely suggesting that the dipshit isn't serious and shouldn't be taken seriously in this context. He's not even trying to make a logical, reasoned point (as evidenced by the fact that he's an order of magnitude off on what they national debt is). Here is merely a cog in the maga machine, tasked with saying dumb shit any time a microphone is in front of him.

I've been suggesting to friends for a while that the US government (where I live) is likely to start debanking their critics. So I'm not surprised to read this, I'm more surprised at how uncommon (or perhaps under-reported) these sorts of events are.

I'm also not familiar with Qonto or French banking. Does this person have rights? Are the french courts functional, and does this person have a good chance of prevailing against Qonto?

Church is fiction for profit. It's foundation is dishonesty. This one 'dishonesty through omission' is a rounding error. You can't expect them to have any sense of shame about this.

The thing is that he’s right

He's not right. The national debt is way fuckin bigger than 3 trillion. He's also wrong in presuming that an infusion of productivity (tax revenue) can "solve" intentional over-spending. He's just a serial scammer spouting uninformed nonsense to stay relevant.

Absent a warrant, probable cause, or some exigent circumstance, isn't "likely to escape" just a charged way of saying innocent person going about their business?

I tried Zulip for a small org. Used their hosted version since it's quite generous for nonprofits. I personally liked it, but I was very much in the minority. Most of our people didn't like it. I don't think anyone articulated very well why they didn't like it so it's hard for me to characterize it other than people bitched about the UI a lot. I personally think it works fine, just be ready for some pushback.

We also tried Mattermost, and the uptake seemed a little easier. If you're used to slack, discord, etc., most of them are pretty easy to transition to, but if you're dealing with people that never used a real time chat platform, all of them (even slack) are like pushing a rock uphill because people can be impressively resistant to sensible change.
