What you need to do is learn to enjoy the weird, the jank, the stupid.

I walk into stupidity every day doing IT support, from "HELP! ALL THE COMPUTERS ARE BROKEN! (A website was down)", to "HELP! ALL THE COMPUTERS ARE BROKEN! (one computer had been unplugged because someone wanted to plug in a space heater)", to "HELP! ALL THE COMPUTERS ARE BROKEN! (power was down for the whole building, people had been told to WFH, but they came in anyway)".

These are the ones I cannot live without/use everyday:

• Bitwarden (I self host a vaultwarden instance)
• Facebook Container
• Firefox Multi-Account Containers (Makes using services like Office365 with multiple accounts at the same time much easier)
• Private Internet Access
• Return YouTube Dislike
• Redirect AMP to HTML

I have a few others installed that have already been mentioned plenty of times like SponsorBlock, uBlockOrigin. Not using an ad filter these days is like fucking a stranger without a condom, you're just asking for super syphilis.

All it needs is their ship, Moya, in the background!

I've been using Trilium (https://github.com/zadam/trilium). There are desktop clients, no mobile clients. However the web interface works well enough for me that I don't mind. The notes update in near-realtime when you make edits through the web app on multiple machines (assuming internet connectivity of course).

If you're already self-hosting NextCloud you might want to look NextCloud Notes as well.

Google don't care. Hell they probably welcome it since a lot of the companies are probably using Google tools like Adsense anyway.

If they start replacing other ads not from Adsense with Google derived ads, so much the better for Google.

It wasn't just any kind of boy band.

It was K-pop.

I can understand their dishonor.

If you move to office 365, it is possible to create an email transport rule to handle this. Effectively any non existent address gets sent to the mailbox your specify.

Yes, they aren't the cheapest option, and it gets meme'd that it should be called office 364,363, etc, but it is a solid service.

Every year is the year of the Linux desktop!

Last year, this year, next year, 2077, all the year of the Linux desktop!

Updog is the most magical property of grass, its hard to put into words over the internet.

I'd recommend approaching your friends and asking them "what's updog". You should get filled in soon enough.

I mean, if using Linux made that possible for the masses, it'd be the most popular operating system in history.

Unfortunately for regular people, it isn't that simple ☹️.

The height, the direction, the updog.

What do you mean by "just as good".

It really depends on if you mean amount of content, or are ok with there only being maybe one post a day but that being a quality post worthy of discussion.

Í want to hear about both to be honest.

Product is king.

Inertia is also in play.

Sync for Lemmy is built by the same guy that built sync for Reddit. Built using seemingly a lot of the same code.

I bounced between all the open source apps and have started using sync for Lemmy because it's familiar and it works. It also seems to be much faster than the others, maybe due to more aggressive caching/prefetching? Or that could be a placebo effect.

I was always having weird issues with jebora and the rest of them, and was not a fan of Voyager's interface.

I might try connect, jebora, etc again a bit later. Might also purchase the one time and remove for sync, might donate to Lemmy instances, etc.

For now I'm just glad to have a familiar interface.

If beehaw blocks lemmy.world, Lemmy.world can still get the beehaw content, but any comments made by lenny.world accounts, as an example, are not visible to beehaw users, or on the beehaw instance. At least that's how I understand it.

Not sure how it plays out if a lemmy.world user makes a comment on another instance then the beehaw user views the same 3rd server though.

HP consumer stuff is crap.

Hp business/enterprise stuff is passable. HP is also fairly good when it comes to warranty work.

We've got a bunch of places with HP printers. Only one out of about 100 has been a complete lemon. In the past few years.

Fuji and Lexmark business ones are good as well.

[x] Doubt

I mean there may be improvements, but I really doubt it's their main goal at this point.

Very loosely it would act as a caching or proxy service from what I understand.

My understanding is that when you subscribe to community "x" on server "y", that your server "z" starts to download all of the content from that community so it can serve it to you locally. I don't know how fast the activitypub protocol would fetch new posts/comments, if it's real-time, or some kind of intermittent pull or push.

Make sense given it's open source.

Despite how much government and business use it gets, when you have someone like Linus torvalds at the helm you will get fun things.

Will, except in China. They opened the backdoor nice and wide for Winnie the Pooh so he could gobble up all the Chinese iCloud data

I'm a techie at heart.

But the only thing my car needs to do is act as a Bluetooth speaker/mic for my phone, and have a wireless charging mount.

When I need to use the phone for GPS/etc it goes on the mount.

When I turn on my car it connects to my phone over Bluetooth and starts playing music. Even if it's in my pocket (shorter trips)

It works, it's fast, it's simple.
