Well, that solidifies my plan for graphene os on this 7pro and once fairphone comes state side I'm going all in. Been moving to Proton services and this will be the first and last Google phone I get. So sick of their backtracking on everything I enjoy. Fuck Google.

It's a file sync platform. Say you have files you want to access from your desktop, you install next cloud and place the files there. They sync up with the next cloud server, presumably your NAS.

Now let's say you want to access those files from another machine. It could be a laptop, an Android phone, your friends, whatever. You just need to install the client and login, and there your files are, ready to sync to the new device.

Great use case would be syncing your computers user folders, such as my documents, desktop, etc. If you have to wipe your computer and start over, at least those items are preserved and easy to restore.

Otherwise sharing files with other machines in general is the main use.

Hey great topic. I've been thinking about expanding supportability for my scripting and I think this will help me take things to the next level at work.

Nice, I've been getting into the .net method calls and this fits right in with the style. I have a number of scripts I can use this in right away so thanks for the article!

Because one is an app and the others are a technology standard. I can install Signal on my phone and use it to talk to people securely.

Where do I go to get XMPP or Matrix? Can I trust app makers to have correctly implemented the protocols? When it comes to security I tend to trust larger entities versus the garage startup.

Oh I am so glad you're ok. The second you called for a trigger warning my heart just reached right on out for you. I was saying to myself out loud, "oh no, peanuts4life are you ok?" and then you said you were. Such a relief.

And your suicide advice? Top notch. I'm going to make sure that every time I hear someone threaten their own life, I'm going to tell them "Don't. First you have to confess your pain. Don't you know how different people's perceptions can be?"

Then they're going to say "Yo, you're right. I must never kill myself, but especially not before confessing my pain."

Such worldly wisdom, I'm practically speechless.

Noo, not a Russia!

Somebody better break the news to Hexbear; they were really close.

I'm not sure that it's simply that a city attracts left leaning people.

I grew up conservative, religious, and from the country, and had to move to the city because that's where my mom took us. My move to the left ocurred due to what the city offered: cultures. I was exposed to many other ways of thinking, to art, to music, to trends, to drugs. I came to see other types of people as just people like me, with different points of view but each deserving their own chance at the American dream. I also became atheist.

The city might attract the left, but it also creates the left.

Incidentally, I want to move to a more secluded part of the state, probably where you'd see the F**k Biden billboards. We can't all be pigeon holed so easily.

This might shock you to hear it, but the US is on the same rock as your country. Sorry that so little people from your spot on this marble have something to report, but it's not a US problem, is it? Unless you consider crying to be news worthy.

The US is a part of the world. If most users are from the US, then their news is going to be of the US. It's unfortunate that your country is not represented here, but maybe you can help the matter by posting local news instead of cwying about others. Nobody else is going to do it for you.
