spin up your own instance
Absolutely. If you’re at all worried about sending files through third party sites, set up your own. Provided you trust your own security skills, of course.
I would certainly be more interested in having an install under my own domain than using some rando’s that I don’t know.
I think it’s weird that they insisted all along that K-9 would remain its own branded version of the joint app. Yet according to f-droid, my newly updated K-9 (same app I’ve used for a decade and a half) is now one of two “Thunderbird for beta testers” listed…
It’s still K-9 in my local app menu, the icon is the same, but I guess the Thunderbird project are sort of working out how to manage two differently branded versions of the same app?
I’ve been looking at Vosk, but haven’t found a good client for their API yet. Anyone else?
Ah yes, the anglocentrism of software development. I gave up on Google translate years ago because it clearly only catered to English speakers. The other way around was such ham fisted mistranslations with English syntax, it was basically useless.
I second Wallabag — IMO “slick” is a nice-to-have, not a must-have when weighing software choices against each other.
At least Wallabag has a long and robust track record of not selling users out to bullshit tech corpos. That counts for more in my book than shiny surfaces.
I understand the ease from an admin POV, but besides locking users into a third party, corporate suite, everything UX about Office365 sucks balls.
Ah, great work cornering the market. Let the "AI"s have it then.
So fork the latest enshittifree release, setup your own web app, pretend nothing has changed?
Yeah, I’m not invested in either online opinion-haver, but have read the occasional tech post by both that made sense… in isolation from their idiosyncratic ickinesses.
I’m sure this “DeVault Report” may have truth to it, I was just turned off by the first, retaliatory paragraphs. Like, “we could’ve let you perv on minors, but then you went after our guy” vibes.
I only read up to the part where they pinned the Stallman Report on DeVault and then claimed that thing they just mentioned definitely had nothing to do with this hit piece, nope, nothing.
Need I read any further, i.e. does this have legs beyond “we dug up some dirt on this guy because he said bad things about our groupthink ringleader”?
Ugh, “grow on social” is such a contradiction in terms, especially when using automation and strategic platforms. Growth as a commercial impetus is never social.
For one thing, no — a brand trying to sell you stuff isn’t your friend, period. For another, this is such a tired 2010s tactic. Please let it lie.
Look, I’m glad there are FLOSS tools for influencers and brands. Let’s make everything FLOSS on principle! What I do react against is turning social platforms into what are essentially advertisement channels.
I personally favour human interaction over nondescript, one-way signaling from (individual or corporate) brands trying to “grow” their presence on social media. But that’s just me.
Fwiw, I found this project that may or may not make a batch export possible (but I can’t tell if that includes front matter): https://github.com/kursad-k/joplin_batch_exporter
Will probably take a good deal of finagling. I’ve seen plenty of file converters, local and online, but markdown to ICS sounds super esoteric.
Is there even front matter in Joplin files that could fill in the required fields of an ICS?
I switched to the fork as soon as I read this news. It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes:
I hope the catch is that everyone who tries to install it from github gets ransomwared.
Bonus if it also rickrolls them all the while.
I wholly disagree with everything you just said, including that your friends and family by your own assessment are unable to rise above average skills. But you know them better than I do, of course 🤷
It’s free on f-droid, though? https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.siacs.conversations/
I’ve been eyeing Pico, but it doesn’t seem to be super well maintained? Do you know if it’s still active?
Perhaps your phone has extra aggressive battery saving settings that kill the background process? The official Syncthing has a setting to run as a persistent service, which always helped me.
Otherwise see if you can make system exceptions for the app to run in the background, and allow it to auto-sync. It’s been a while since I used the forked app, buy it did help me out on a device where the official didn’t work for me.
Hope this helps.
Plus the Android app on f-droid.
