Really!? Crazy, imma read up on asbest today :), thanks for the factoid!

Agreed, this is all only a problem if for some strange reason you’re not willing to look at usb-c charger and cable specs that you buy, I have a brick and charger that do 100w, I only buy cables that take 100w ,all my devices require less then 100, and it works every time. Gosh, so hard. Never mind that if you take that very small step, it does work every time, the usb C connector is very robust and reversible, and now I have truly universal charging.

I like the no charger supplied rule. I can pick my own cool charger.

Very cool! I’m thinking of going for ubuntu touch, seeing as Android has proven that it’s no longer worth the time investment. Also, Fairphone 5 is my next phone if the current one dies, so it works out.

Could you share what do you really like about it? And what is your biggest gripe or letdown with it? Thanks!

the old fashioned way.

A whole swath of trained toads using a special made tube network?

It’s good enough, and that’s really great!

Thanks but no thanks!

I’ll take Joplin instead! It’s FOSS!

With great sacrifice, comes great responsibility…

We take what we can get, and keep going.

Not accurate, in real life there wouldn’t be a guy behind you 🤣

Friend of mine once found a frozen-over cd of “Shaggy - Wasn’t Me” in his backyard, and after cleaned and thawed, it worked no problem. I guess someone really hated that single?

I think I understand your requirements more clearly now, a framework for FOSS collaborative work would be really great. I Hope you can find a way to use Matrix for it. Thanks for the explanation.

Man, I loved the google docs realtime collab functionality, they pretty much nailed it day 1 in my eyes. It’s so easy. If your project works/takes off it should be a lot more straightforward for FOSS projects to incorporate it. Hype!

Hey Hey! What a fantastic idea, I sure hope you can manage!

I was immediately wondering why you wouldn’t hop on projects already out there. For example: I recently ditched google Keep // Trello for Joplin, which i think already ticks alot of your boxes, even Async collab should work (but not realtime, and you’d have to manually resolve conflicts). Maybe adding better collab in Joplin is a more efficient way to spend your time? LibreOffice also has Async collab, since I think about 6 months, so while it might be young, it will grow, and might also benefit from another person putting their time towards it.

Whatever you choose to do, I’ll be super interested to see the results.

Why even use releases? Everyone can build everything for themselves. ‘Normal Users’ are just lazy, everyone wants to know how every piece of software is built for their system, it’s not like they have other stuff to do.

Oh, very nice, thanks for the heads-up. I might try now! Do you know of any foss app that could replace whiteboard? I don’t like the MS ecosystem, but using the pen in whiteboard is pretty transformative use for me. I could ditch it but I would miss it.

I really like the fact that the Lemmy community includes a whole swathe of trans folk, I learned some new stuff the safe way and that’s really REALLY valuable to me.

I also really like the freedom that using Lemmy for social media empowers us with. Freedom of OS, Porn, whatever.

I can respect almost all kinks, ofc there’s bound to be a couple I don’t understand but that’s not a problem for me, if every participant consented.

I dislike furry kink, it invokes a feeling of disgust in me. This post alienates me slightly from the Linux community. Not a problem, but it did make me realize I would want to be more careful linking my kinks to my favorite Tools/Software in the future in a global media setting.

2025 Is my Linux year. Last year I tried as well, but I hardly boot to Linux today. Before the year is over, Windows will OS non grata here. Except on my Surface maybe 🤔

Well they don’t display nicely on Android but the older plugin was viewable in android and the newer plugin is just a long special note, which you can view and edit on joplin mobile, but again, without the visual niceness they bring. Does that count as a way around?

You could approach it as a Joplin plugins. I switched from Trello to Joplin Kanban and now Joplin YesYouKan. Seeing how powerful they can be, upping Joplin’s journaling game should be doable! And you don’t have to even start your whole own new project.

True :)

Piracy is a service problem. If Videogames solved this problem, so can books. If changing these laws closes down libraries further, all of our EU representatives that worked on this legislation failed us immensely, libraries are already nothing but a faint whimper of the idea that started them off, and could fulfill an important cultural role for so much more folks. If only they were allowed.

But no. We have to think about those multibillion businesses who might miss a couple bucks left and right. Don’t know if anyone used that adobe DRM in the last 5 years but it’s basically a way to bully paying customers into an ecosystem, and you’re telling me they’re making it worse? Lol.
