Thank you for the detailed reply.

1. I’ve used onedriver previously, or rather I do use it on my backup machine. While it works well what I’m missing is a progress indication for the download of files, I occasionally work with bigger video files f.ex. Also an option to keep directories synced permanently to the device would be great. In OneDrive you can check a box in the context menu to ‘make files available offline’. It keeps the file/directory synced and available offline. This is again useful for bigger projects. I could of course move those to a temporary location on disk but I do like the set and forget nature of working in automatically synced directories.

2. I assumed that’s best practice, thank you. What I find overwhelming is the amount of choice. Which is a general Linux “problem” I suppose. Yes, it’s possible and elegant to manage everything through the package manager and the default repos. But if I search for a specific program, like f.ex. a clipboard manager, I might just get recommended something that is not there. And all of a sudden I have an appimage. Or the nextcloud client for example, it’s on the flathub but only the appimage supports the above file on-demand feature.
   Btw, how can I be sure that software from the flathub is kept up to date? My understanding is that it’s often community maintained?

Fortunately it’s just my personal machine. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.

It’ll be enough of a challenge to properly transition existing docx to the gsuite were switching to.

See my comment below, we’re moving to gsuite. Basically, we have a problem with people not using the SharePoint but instead sending poorly version numbered documents per mail.
My argument was that if you’re forced to work online you’re more likely to do so in the shared folder. We’ll see if that’s true but at least we can get rid of office. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway. And we use zulip for communication.

Ding ding ding

From one evil to another…

The discussion went like nobody is properly using the SharePoint, but instead people send emails with poorly version numbered documents. After a couple of attempts to educate the users my argument was to drop the hammer: if you’re forced to work online you’re more likely to work in the shared folders. If that’s true, we’ll see. But in the meantime I can get rid of windows. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.

Completely agree, it’s basically just botanicals anyway. Well and booze

Non alcoholic beer has gotten a lot better the last years as well.

Honestly, this was the reality. Half the shit couldn’t even be accessed without flash. Does nobody remember the flash on mobile drama?

Yeah, or just a slow charger next to bed? Who doesn’t have a charter next to bed? Especially a slow one costs nothing.

Definitely wouldn’t want to give up PD speeds to top up during the day. Well, I would give them up if I didn’t have to top up during the day.

Never had any problems, just avoid the biggest GPU manufacturer? It’s Nvidia’s fault to supply shit drivers for Linux, but statements like this highlight how far away we are from “the year of the Linux desktop”.

Sounds fucking delicious

Where did you find a t495 for that price of you don’t mind me asking?

Subject: Morning Routines 😊

Hey [Their Name],

Haha, guilty as charged! Seems like a few of us share that little secret. As they say, whatever helps us get through those groggy mornings, right? I hope my emails still come across as genuine. Coffee or not, it’s all me behind every word.

Cheers, [Your Name]

Not really, they have the world’s biggest sovereign wealth fund. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Pension_Fund_of_Norway

I really am! If they don’t get money, and they don’t get data, and they (obviously) don’t get donations, how are they supposed to run the service? Out of the goodness of their hearts?

I’m not going to be popular saying this but how is the service supposed to survive without a revenue stream? It takes a shit ton of bandwidth and storage to keep YouTube running, that ain’t free.

I get that the ads are incredibly annoying but if you truly watch as much YouTube as some people in this thread are claiming, maybe it’s worth paying for it? I bit the bullet and for basically the price of my cancelled Spotify subscription I now have no ads in YT and an okay streaming service with yt music.

Of course Google could do things better. And actually I think it would be important to have a competitor. But I wouldn’t expect that one to be free either.

No? Firefox on Android. I doubt the browser is your problem.

It also ensures better roaming services for travellers. For example, consumers are entitled to the same mobile network quality and speed abroad as at home, where equivalent networks are available.

Interesting. Does that mean up until now operators where able to offer worse access? For example prohibiting access to 4G and keeping roaming units on 2G networks?

I have had some unpleasant experience in Germany where “local” units had access to faster networks than me and my partner.

So I was curious and I just checked their sign up process. You can choose between @proton.me and @protonmail.com.

Nothing wrong with that? Loads of devs do that and point to fdroid for a free alternative. Just view it as a donation for the devs work.
