I wholly disagree with everything you just said, including that your friends and family by your own assessment are unable to rise above average skills. But you know them better than I do, of course 🤷

It’s free on f-droid, though? https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.siacs.conversations/
I’ve been eyeing Pico, but it doesn’t seem to be super well maintained? Do you know if it’s still active?
+1 for the GIMP3 excitement, and ×1,000,000 for the YouTube gripe.
Perhaps your phone has extra aggressive battery saving settings that kill the background process? The official Syncthing has a setting to run as a persistent service, which always helped me.
Otherwise see if you can make system exceptions for the app to run in the background, and allow it to auto-sync. It’s been a while since I used the forked app, buy it did help me out on a device where the official didn’t work for me.
Hope this helps.
who is downvoting me and why?
You’re probably making them feel stupid, people downvote for no good reason. It’s a them problem, not a you one; everybody should check AlternativeTo before asking for recommendations.
Yeah, phone to laptop, and I recently synced all backups and files from an old phone to a new one, too. Once you have the computer setup, you can basically connect phones by reading its QR code.
If the official Syncthing Android app is giving you a hard time, maybe try Syncthing-fork? IIRC that’s only the daemon and web GUI wrapped as an app. But I’ve used the main app only for the past few years.
I’d really recommend giving Syncthing a second chance, twist a few knobs in the settings until it works. I’ve used it for years with barely a hitch.
Interesting! At some point I’ll probably switch to Wayland, so it’s good to hear there are minimalist solutions developed 👍
Ah, just skip DEs altogether and setup Openbox with a minimal panel like tint2. It’s not for Wayland — there might be an alternative, light window manager for that, I wouldn’t know.
To quote Life of Brian,
…assuming of course these are people who left the open Fediverse to join another corporate platform.
I don’t have anywhere near your experience, but the key points (customizable, no bloat, good wiki) all scream Arch, as you predicted 🙂
I think we agree on the limited capability of (what is currently passed off as) “artificial intelligence”, yes.
According to that research mentioned in the article, the answer is yes. The big caveats are
Let’s take that etymology one step further: “fan” comes from “fanatic”, so a stan is a stalker fanatic. Which somehow has become a positive term in some circles.
as we’ve seen, AI tools are trained on garbage
I would live this to be the takeaway lesson that humans are better at history. However, loads of accepted history is also trained on garbage.
Gotcha! Thanks for the ELI5 🙂

I’m confused, which is it?
The quality about the fediverse that I appreciate the most is the fact that nobody on any of its platforms raised an eyebrow at having a rainbow-coloured pentagram for a logo, until the first Twitter exodus when some newcomer primed for spotting the mildest of outrage-by-proxy gasped, “Have you seen this? Somebody might get upset!”
Meanwhile, the pentagram has been warding off hyperbolic fundamentalists since 2018. The fediverse is much chiller without them. 🤘
Yeah, this news cycle may not be the best for CUPS advocacy 😄
