Great explanation. On top of that, every open source program that is 10 yrs and older laughs out loud right now. Not everything needs commercial backing. Also, nobody said lemmy isn’t going to get fiancial support at some point.

Thanks for elaborating a bit. I opted against the password app since I wanted to diversify services. My nextcloud is a bit finnicky at times and wants to be updated before you can proceed with stuff. Having no access to my passwords in that moment would be harsh. So I opted for vaultwarden and it even has firefox integration, cli integration and a desktop app for linux (dunno about windows, honestly). I‘m not sure if it was a bad idea to put NC‘s database on spinning discs though. Maybe that was stupid.
As you can see, very much a WIP as well. I feel like we need some kind of place to accumulate iCloud -> NC expats. A lot of good could be done there.
I‘m on matrix as well but i‘m not proficient yet. My wife is still on whatsapp so I need to be patient. We have gotten rid of twitter and reddit which I count as a win.
What other projects do you have? Feel free to send me a dm with your matrix username if you want to keep in touch about this.
I‘m also migrating from iCloud (to NC among other things) and its been slow to say the least. Things I struggle with:
For those who don’t know NC, these things are 1/10 of the stuff that NC is actually good at imo.
How is your experience so far?
Maybe that shouldn’t be possible.
I don’t know what to say. „Go troll someone else“ maybe?
Happy to help. I think we’re also in agreement that this is not a permanent solution since every country needs to have people doing science to develop new ways but I get the point of it not being top priority right now. :)
It was a metaphor. The commenter before me likely tried to say „let them focus on more pressing matters like basic infrastructure“.
I think you‘re not getting the point of their comment: argentina is not going to lead the world in science, let them focus on getting back up from the ground.
Edit: since the metaphor seems to be going over people‘s heads: I think the commenter meant to say science is important but a country that has many more pressing issues should be allowed to focus on using the knowledge it already has instead of being forced to contribute to advancing humanity by spending a lot on science for the moment. Obviously, I‘m not the commenter. I‘m just seeing something in the comment that the person answering didn’t comment on.
My thoughts exactly. It’s just not worth it. Either stomp the gas pedal or take your foot off entirely. That usually makes them overtake and piss off. Only retaliate if you‘re ready to see it through.
I mean, there are if you’re „arian“, not disabled or otherwise made a target and don’t get snitched on by your neighbors.
In that case you can live like a „free“ person while people around you „disappear“ which would not freak you out at all. (/s)
You are not actually free though because if you openly criticize anything, you disappear as well.
I suppose the common theme is „murderous authoritarianism“.
Nextcloud (or docker for that matter) are rather complex.
Permission problems are every day life in linux, you always have to sudo or - if you change that - someone else can vaporize your server and steal all your data. Linux is infinitely more secure because it is a nightmare to use casually with a complex setup. Some windows script kiddie is gonna die inside your directories and never be found again.
Writing a script that you need to make executable first? Chowning files that are made by docker? Having to use a specific user inside docker (in case of nextcloud especially)?
All these things are incredibly frustrating but given the sheer complexity of nextcloud, it’s actually working rather good imo. So does linux.
I‘m not shitting on linux, docker or nc. I love them all but saying they’re not working just says they’re not plug and play yet. Other examples: most things snap are a mystery for me. Freakin permissions.
Honestly, this is nothing but rage bait to me. Every person who makes a remark like this should go to jail for a cool 20 yrs. I had an incident last year with a nonprofit I was working with where people were sharing memes of asian chefs (with text bubbles giving them the stereotypical r to l change) serving bats to unknowing western guests… I asked that this practice is stopped and got publicly humiliated for my „unprofessional demeanor“.
I can’t tell you how furious I am about racists.
There is no design evil enough that not some braindead joke of a person will step up and fight for their favorite company… I really can understand thanos these days.
Can someone please post this stuff on lemmy world in its own thread? This needs to be brought to attention.
The people responsible for this need to then either concede that they have done wrong, leave or otherwise be made to leave.
also a lot of fun is if you can code, design and do business and are out of a job because no company has a job like this…
