Also the fact CTRL-C randomly doesn’t copy.

That video was actually worth the watch. I belly laughed at the incredulity of the judge… “You… You got some pants on there Officer??”…

I run Nextcloud for this. Never understood the complaints about it, I find it hard to believe everyone’s so short of CPU power that Nextcloud is anything more than a rounding error running in the background.

There’s half a dozen of us using it for shared calendars, files, and contacts.

Currently around 6TB of files, a couple of hundred or so contacts in the shared contacts list, and many recurring (and one off) events.

Been working perfectly since before Nextcloud forked from OwnCloud.

But that doesn’t help your case so I’m sure you’ll just downvote me.

Didn’t bother reading any further

Padding and grid / snap to half-grid makes it so easy to get things lined up exactly how you like.

I also like having slide actions on the dock… I have a phone icon. If you tap on it, it opens a folder with my most common 9’ish contacts as direct dials. If I slide up on it, it opens the phone app. Repeat for other icons on the dock and you get over a dozen potential actions from 4 icons.

Not sure if anything else offers this.

Everyone knew Nova was dead once it was sold. Surprised old mate held on this long.

Still haven’t found a replacement launcher that matches all it’s functionality.

Spotify was never anywhere near perfect.

Radio? More like exact same 50 track curated playlist on repeat.

Want to listen to music? Here’s Joe Rogan. Again. Don’t skip him, or we’ll automatically subscribe you to his channel.

Enjoying something a little outside your normal 20 tracks we constantly play you? Well let’s fix that… Back to the same tiny pool of content loser.

Couldn’t help but notice you had some money left over this month. That’s good, because the price just went up again.

I’ve been using Nextcloud since it forked from OwnCloud (… and used OwnCloud before that). It’s gone from a VPS, to bare metal on dedicated hosting, and now self hosted as a docker container because we’ve finally got fibre internet.

I’ve got around 6TB or so hosted for my small business, with shared directories for different levels of file access, shared contact lists, shared calendars, and a publicly accessible area for things like email attachments (works with a Thunderbird plugin to automatically host and link large attachments with a password) and uploads from customers (they can only upload, no viewing or deleting).

It’s incredible, and I’ve never had the issues people complain so much about. The worst I ever experienced was using snap and occasionally an automatically updated version simply wouldn’t work… So I’d just roll back to the last version and manually update a few months later when I remembered.

Currently using the Nextcloud AIO docker image which includes Borg backups. They get stored on another disk to Nextcloud, which gets automatically backed up to Crashplan.

XnView is what I currently use as a Temu Irfanview on Linux. But it’s so awkward compared to Irfanview - everything seems to involve clicks or loading galleries or choosing templates every time. Irfanview does everything I want within a button press or two, and being able to just loop through directories with the mouse wheel is awesome.

The accounting software we use (which does NOT run under WINE, despite many hours trying to make it so) and Irfanview are my sole remaining reasons. At home everything is some flavour of Linux.

Also the lack of virtual filesystem support for Nextcloud is a secondary factor. Important as my Nextcloud storage is significantly larger than a reasonably priced SSD. I believe it’s technically available in a bit of an alpha stage under Linux now though?

I installed Windows 11 on my new office PC yesterday, and it took hours.

• The initial boot took forever because it decided it needed to do an update as part of the install,
• Then after install when you enter your Microsoft account details so it downloads the entire internet including OneDrive (gross),
• Then you switch to AU locale because despite saying I’m in Australia during install it’s set me up as US language and currency and imperial measurements etc but Melbourne timezone (also incorrect),
• Then you uninstall and disable all the stupid Candy Crush and celebrity news (in the start menu?? why??) and LinkedIn and Xbox gaming crap and all this other stuff that just appears,
• Allocate another day to uninstall all the MS Office stuff I don’t want (especially OneDrive),
• Then you can install Firefox and Thunderbird and Nextcloud and Libre Office and Irfanview and accounting software,
• And finally everything starts syncing and away we go time to be productive…
• Jokes! Critical update and it’s time to reboot multiple times.

I can boot from a Ventoy USB and have a new distro installed and working on my laptop in under an hour ffs.

We’ve got a world “leader” who pioneered the end of consequences and showed that easily proven facts weren’t worth the bits they were sent over the internet with, so that ship has already sailed.

Enjoy the freedom that comes with never having to answer for your crimes. Kick a puppy. Call someone a slur. Steal a game ball from a kid at the world series.

I think this is a good thing. Now there’s plausible deniability for anything you might have said in the past that surfaces - that’s just a deepfake! Don’t cancel me, it’s not real.

We used to play DOOM multiplayer by connecting two dialup modems and pretending it was a serial link. Worked perfectly.

Is there a more ignored file on the internet than robots.txt?

I’ve always maintained that the dude who spent like 10,000 Bitcoin to buy a pizza was the first and last legitimate use of crypto.
