I was reminded of the same thing.

Except for all the family and friends phones I have installed it on, these are not power users.

Not being on the play store is a major deal.

It sucks that Syncthing is discontinuing its android app

It would be up near the top of my list.

This is one of the many things I use Syncthing for.

The problem is not "Syncthing users" it is the others that we bring along with us.

I already have F-Droid on my phone, but the dozen others that I have promoted Syncthing to over the years do not. This is going to cause a bunch of problems.

This is much more important than what you portray here.

I needed to update my parents old NUC from Win7, it was either new hardware to run Win10 or give Linux a try, I told them I had been running Linux since 09 full time and it isn't any harder than running Windows.

I said how about you give it a go for a month or so and see how you go.

I installed Mint, it has been a few years now and no real issues beyond taking a while to get the printer working. I installed rust desk for remote assistance which I have only used 3 times since install.

It is pretty much this, same reason lawyers use "legalese" in contracts. That word has an accepted meaning, when used the meaning is clear to others in the field. You don't need an extra document to define each term as it is expected that others in the field will understand the language used.

In saying that, sometimes it is just complication for the sake of complication.

There is a saying, usually attributed to Einstein but could also be William of Ockham:

Everything should be as simple as possible, but no simpler.

People often focus on the first part while ignoring the more important second part. When something is made too simple, you lose the nuance and fine detail that makes it a useful concept. Not everything can be ELI5'd, somethings are just really complicated.

KeePassXC + Keepass2Andriod, keep it all synced using Syncthing. Desktop/Laptop/Phone all have the passwords synchronized, it is super convenient.

I have been doing it this way for years, never had any issues; just starting to investigate using passkeys where I can. So that is a new adventure; I'll see how it goes with my current workflow.

Narcissist appeal to authority fallacy.

"I did it, so it must be smart"

BricsCAD has a native Linux client

Multiuser enormous water slide.

And in the end, you will come to love big brother.

So what you are saying here, is reps are afraid of the dems, because the reps have god-like powers.

Well if they believe that, it would be a reasonable fear.

Ketamine

I was in hospital and had some significant pain. Opiate based pain relief doesn't really effect me so they said we will try a ketamine. I said ok, I had never had it before....wow dissociative drugs, are not for me. I told the nurse to stop it and had a small argument about it with her as I felt myself become distant and spacey.

I decided that the pain was better then the loosing my mind feeling, stuck with paracetamol.

Well if the goal is to spark discussion, hopefully we will see some that are taking aim at some of government decisions 🤔

When I was a teen walking home from a party at around 2am, I saw a car reverse out of a driveway and slam into a car. The dude drive off in a hurry.

Checked on the driver of the second car, he was fine, but the car was messed up.

We called the cops and waited, after an hour, called again only to discover that they "were already at the scene".

Turns out that the dude had another crash a few hundred metres down the road.

Well the front is not supposed to fall off, is it.

Honestly just eat vegetables and keep your ultraprocessed foods to a minimum.

Milk and eggs are pretty good, as they literally have all that a growing body needs. But since I assume you are not a baby posting on social media (never can tell in this "modern" world) you need more than just milk and eggs.

Eat fermented foods, kimchi, sauerkraut or kombucha etc...great for gut health

I do like some nutritional yeast though. It is really tasty.

will Trump’s strange behavior hurt him at the polls?

You would hope so.

Surely not, we can't have new ferries this other boat, well it just isn't on the cards.
