Ok, got it. Thats neat.

I‘m not sure I understand what you mean. If I wanted to move a section I would cut and paste it. What alternative don’t I know about?

I use nextcloud notes. They are .md and work wonderfully imo. You can either edit them through nc or through the editor on linux (or vs code on windows). Tried obsidian, never got into it and its not open source.

Its people being people I guess. They’re all weird. Some good weird, some bad weird. Thank you for taking the time to critique the article so I don’t need to read it. :)

I begin to really like you! Probably the first person I have ever heard say that except myself. The open source community is pretty much the first one that is 100% stakeholder value (the people who use it, make it, more or less).

I figure that should be the same everywhere. No single figure that bankrolls a bunch of people and gets filthy rich while they barely get by.

I agree. What do you think would help?

I have heard of a law or precedent that put CEOs under the reign of the shareholders instead of the company, customer and society.

Do you happen to know what legislation did that change? Maybe that needs to be overturned.

Edit: I found at least the term. It is called shareholder primacy.

Thanks for elaborating a bit. I opted against the password app since I wanted to diversify services. My nextcloud is a bit finnicky at times and wants to be updated before you can proceed with stuff. Having no access to my passwords in that moment would be harsh. So I opted for vaultwarden and it even has firefox integration, cli integration and a desktop app for linux (dunno about windows, honestly). I‘m not sure if it was a bad idea to put NC‘s database on spinning discs though. Maybe that was stupid.

As you can see, very much a WIP as well. I feel like we need some kind of place to accumulate iCloud -> NC expats. A lot of good could be done there.

I‘m on matrix as well but i‘m not proficient yet. My wife is still on whatsapp so I need to be patient. We have gotten rid of twitter and reddit which I count as a win.

What other projects do you have? Feel free to send me a dm with your matrix username if you want to keep in touch about this.

I‘m also migrating from iCloud (to NC among other things) and its been slow to say the least. Things I struggle with:

• setting up photo alternative with face recognition (recognition app is okayish but not as strong as I‘d like)
• getting whatsapp to somehow backup outside of iCloud
• getting my passwords out of iCloud (you need a mac for that) into vaultwarden
• NC being quite slow now that a couple apps and mid 5 digits of photos are in there, will try memcache soonish

For those who don’t know NC, these things are 1/10 of the stuff that NC is actually good at imo.

How is your experience so far?

Full black if I‘m not totally mistaken with the monitor going to sleep but the fans still spinning and the ssd light and power light still working.

Funny enough, suspend works for me on ubuntu 23.04. only hibernate doesnt. I even had to deactivate hibernation since my monitor would go black just random and never come back.

Interesting! I didnt know there was a suspend them hibernate option. My stupid nvidia gpu keeps crashing when I try go hibernate. Still need to fix it. :(

I tried to google it as well and came up empty. Thank you for your help. :)

Sounds like an interesting territory! Good luck with your project.

Unrelated but can you tell me what you mean by flashing heads onto it?

Okay. Let me rephrase that: why are these the only brands that make printers except niche ones?

Too much competition in a 10 player market? This is an oligopol and likely the reason why there is an entry problem.

What eludes me is that literally nobody except hp, xerox, canon, brother, dell, epson, kyocera, lenovo, lexmark seems to be making decent printers.

I know that the printer business is rough for sales people for some reason (the guy who I learned sales from 18 yrs ago was a printer salesman before becoming a coach). But what I don’t get is that there does not seem to be good money to make for small companies as they are not gaining on the big ones.

Is everything locked by patents or what is the deal here?

Nextcloud (or docker for that matter) are rather complex.

Permission problems are every day life in linux, you always have to sudo or - if you change that - someone else can vaporize your server and steal all your data. Linux is infinitely more secure because it is a nightmare to use casually with a complex setup. Some windows script kiddie is gonna die inside your directories and never be found again.

Writing a script that you need to make executable first? Chowning files that are made by docker? Having to use a specific user inside docker (in case of nextcloud especially)?

All these things are incredibly frustrating but given the sheer complexity of nextcloud, it’s actually working rather good imo. So does linux.

I‘m not shitting on linux, docker or nc. I love them all but saying they’re not working just says they’re not plug and play yet. Other examples: most things snap are a mystery for me. Freakin permissions.

Seeing you frothing at the mouth does give me some satisfaction, not gonna lie.

You‘re still oblivious to the fact that we may very well have misunderstood each other in the beginning and could have very well just discussed this in a meaningful way. You chose violence instead and I chose to let you hit a wall with me.

I suggest you think long and hard about the way you approach people. Just because someone is wrong does not mean you have the right to condescend on them and neither do you have the right to fault them for it. You started this by not being able to discuss in a healthy matter. This is on you and you alone.

You realize that you are using abusive language while accusing me of being a terrible communicator? That is absolutely ironic.

Secondly, I solely reserved myself from being violently corrected in my opinion/experience by a person who does not show any credentials to do so and uses abusive speech. It’s a security function, nothing else.

You can try and turn this around all you want. It’s like telling a person of color that their account or opinion about people of color is shit while not at all having a say in that matter.

Gatekeeping, in opposition to your opinion, is keeping someone from a community, denying them rights or identity. Source: urban dictionary. You are trying to force your opinion on someone who is telling you that they are not accepting that unless you show that you have reason for this behavior.

I would not accept your opinion solely based on your way of communicating it but I would consider trying to to look past that if you had shown anything resembling experience.

I‘m sorry if this is not understandable for you. I really tried. Have a good one.

Thank you for using less violent speech this time. I still don’t understand why you feel like you need to correct my opinion here. Again, if you‘re on the spectrum or an expert, feel free to identify yourself. Otherwise I will stay by my opinion. Have a good one.

Thanks for your thoughts. I simply disagree. Being autistic means something else for every person who fits the description and for me it is this.

Attacking my personal understanding and using the wording you do is overreaching and mean. Instead of telling me to not say something, you could ask what I meant or how I arrived to this conclusion. But you chose not to.

If you are either a psychologist or an autistic person, you may speak about your own ideas. If not, I ask you to leave autistic people talking about the experience of being autistic be.
