Well if I uninstaller them what would i complain about?

Nextcloud isn't a 365 competitor?

It's filesync with contacts and calendar.

Even once you build in documents and spreadsheets, 365 at least has separate applications for that - its not a single overblown behemoth.

Partly, yes. But also partly because world leaders have realised that if you don't want the US to fuck you up the ass you need to say nice things to Trump, preferably combined with gifts.

KeepassXC is the only thing that makes sense to me.

I don't want all my passwords stored with some huge target like lastpass or bitwarden.

Encrypted local (and synced) DB is the only way.

Kinda sounds awful honestly.

I do use nextcloud for my small team. It's the best of the selfhosted file sync platforms.

That said, it's obscenely over engineered.

Who ever wanted a file sync platform that also does calendaring and contacts?

Hol up. Didn't NATO guy wank all over daddy's boobs already?

Whether to forgive a cheating partner is a divisive issue. Some people say it's something they could never move past, others just don't think it's a big deal.

I don't think it's necessarily men or women - its both. Probably more men commented on your boyfriend's post because he's a man.

I can imagine it would be a pretty awful feeling to be in your position - you've acknowledged that you messed up, you've worked through it with your partner, and now all these people casting judgement on you without understanding the circumstances.

There's a lot of different aspects to this. The web is full of "drama llamas". My guilty pleasure is reading /r/aitah posts, even though I know they're fake it's still really engaging and reading everyone's comments is interesting. People say things online that they would just never say to your face. So comments are way more hurtful.

My advice has two parts:

ask your boyfriend to delete the post because the people commenting don't really know you or the situation and it's very hurtful

Secondly think through what you would tell a good friend who had been through something like this, it's probably something like "yeah you did mess up, but everyone does sooner or later, you've learned a lot and you've worked through it, " et cetera.

Yeah, the article doesn't really examine how the app is using QR and what a more appropriate approach might be, it's just complaining that the hologram doesn't confirm authenticity - which it's not intended to.

I think this article is a bit of a beat-up borne of a misunderstanding of security and the design requirements of the app.

Only an idiot would think that the "hologram" from the app is intended to be a real hologram. Of course phones can't do that. The "hologram" is simply an image in the background that moves when you move the phone. It prevents people from taking a screen shot of their license and sharing that photo with their friend. That's it. It prevents the most basic of attacks, and does so very effectively. It does not prevent other more sophisticated attacks.

In low risk situations looking at someone's ID and confirming that it's not just a screen shot of someone else's might be satisfactory.

As they said in the article, if you want to be sure the ID is legit you can scan the QR code.

Reminds me of this time last year when Trump was on trial for a half dozen things.

Everyone was all like "ooh it would be so undemocratic to try someone while they're campaigning".

Meanwhile republicans can just uncitizen anyone they don't like.

You can't win if no one is playing by the rules.

That's a pretty thin connection. If that's the requirement, more or less everything political.

There is no law banning dog walking, therefore any discussion about dogs is political!

We won the lottery on this. Had twins, 1 boy 1 girl at birth. They're too young to know if they're gonna be friends, enemies, (probably both?)

Sure so maybe /c/regulatorybodies then.

Last time we had a census in Australia you could either do it online or on paper. I assume you couldn't just decline to answer individual questions.

It was the first time the required you to identify yourself. I didn't complete one as a kind of conscientious objector. They never followed up with me but the penalties are significant.

What does this have to do with politics?

Musk is a train wreck that was briefly engaged in destroying the public service in the US. That doesn't mean that everything tangentially associated any company associated with him is politics.

Yeah.

I'm not really confident that this is the best way to produce real numbers.

How many people would list their orientation as hetero because they don't want other people in their household to know, or because they don't want to be in a database as we have discussed.

There must be other ways to determine some numbers which are accurate enough for government purposes.

This type of thing makes me super uncomfortable.

IDK how things roll in Canada but here in Australia census is now linked to your identity although they claim to de-identify the data later on. Unfortunately the Australian Government has demonstrated many times that they're just incapable of handling this type of information responsibly.

We don't have an authoritarian government but that could change. They don't need a list of all the non-hetero people in Australia.

Yeah. There's a correlation vs causation problem here that I don't really have the answers to.

In other words I think that's reductive.

Hillary was Hillary and didn't take Trump seriously.

Kamala was run without much planning and forethought.

AOC might be a woman, and I take your point that may not be in her favor, but she has many virtues that may outweigh that disadvantage.

Oh wow it's you, PugJesus.

I love the photos you post in the various ~historyporn communities.

I had a feeling this would lead nowhere.

precisely the point I was trying to make.
