Upgrades are easy, backups are really good, if upgrades mess up, you can restore from backup even if NC is hosed. As for local storage, I never did it, but here's the docs for it! https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage/local.html

Cargo is really simple, which is great, but also limiting. Maven is much more complex, but for good reason - there's use cases, especially around multi-artifact projects and version sharing, where cargo would require either some glue or you run into some interesting edge cases. Usually, Rust isn't used for the kinds of big, wacky projects with a million dependencies that companies write in Java/Kotlin, so those kinds of use cases are considered more unusual.

Gradle, in my opinion, makes itself complex because it's all code, is very brittle, and several of its features just don't work right and require workarounds. When it works, it builds fast and it works well, but getting it to work, and how often you have to get it to work again...not worth it.

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/maven.html That's not true, you can use Maven if you want!

If I recall correctly, the desktop right click menu was one of the things they fixed in Plasma 6, actually.

For the window corners thing, meta+left or right should let you move it to somewhere you can grab it.

I have it set up. Try the AIO docker image. Once you get it set up, it pretty much just works. You just pick which office suite you want, check a few optional features if you want 'em, and it handles the rest for you. Most importantly, the AIO image is from nextcloud. They test it, it always works because it is the blessed version from them. If you're not a Linux guy, don't try the other installation methods, they're much, much more difficult.

Yeah, after reading through, those articles equally contain cognitive dissonance. From how I read it, it's ableist to insult intelligence because intelligence is primarily a proxy to insult mentally handicapped people, and because its criteria are largely arbitrary.

What about doing something unwise? Touching a hot stove, poking a bear, trying to jump across a wide gap you're not sure you can make it over, these are not good ideas. The thing is: the criteria for what is "wise" is equally arbitrary! The arbitrariness of a socially-constructed idea are less important than how important the cultural zeitgeist deems the idea to be. Most socially constructed ideas have arbitrary criteria because their definitions are not strict, that alone is not enough to dismiss them outright. Their harm to the mentally handicapped could be, but I see this as a red herring to solving that problem.

Policing the language used won't prevent them from being insulted for being mentally handicapped. People will just make up new terms, as has happened time and time again. If it becomes blasphemous to insult intelligence, another proxy for it will appear, and that will be insulted instead. They'll insult the unwise, the foolish, the unprepared, etc. In my opinion, the attempt to stamp out ableism as you've described it is a thinly-veiled attempt to try to prevent people from insulting each other at all, which, while morally virtuous, is rather naïve.

Then ableism will never die. What you are requesting be done is absurd. People say things they do themself are stupid, "I just touched a hot stove without thinking, how stupid of me", they of course would do the same to others. If that's the correction you want, you're going to be in the vast minority and will be fighting a losing war against core fundamentals of human behavior.

What alternative word would you use in this case, as a pejorative insult to someone's intelligence?

Looking at the list you've provided, they're all generic insults not specifically aimed at someone for doing something dumb. If the problem is that the pejorative is aimed at intelligence...ableism will never go away. People will always insult the intelligence of others when they do something dumb.

Uhh, I was referring to the new ones France has been building, not the old ones...

[–] moomoomoo309@programming.dev 15 points 11 months ago (5 children)

In France. They standardized the designs so each one isn't a one-off and they trained more people to work in the field.

Do you have any evidence that there's a pervasive effort from third party repair to mine your privacy for profit? I'd love to see it.

Also, fine, let's assume they have no way of knowing it's genuine. Why don't they release the tool to pair the OEM screens publicly? It'd only work on the real ones, and they have such a tool, so if it's actually about security, there's no reason not to.
