Wahrscheinlich ein aus dem Ruder gelaufener Erpressungs- Sklaven-/Sub-Kink. Auch wenn es auf der einen Seite verstörend ist, tut er mir auf der anderen Seite leid.

Wenn es so gewesen wäre, finde ich hätte die “Domina” auch eine gewisse Verantwortung gehabt und hätte so weit nicht gehen dürfen. Das war ja absehbar, welche Konsequenzen es haben wird. Er hat damit ja nicht nur seine Kandidatur verloren sondern wird auch sozial verpönt sein Gegenüber quasi jedem der ihn kennt und in der Öffentlichkeit. Das Resultat davon wird im worst case eine Depression oder noch schlimmeres sein.

So oder so egal wie “horny” er war finde ich hätte die Domina in diesem Fall bremsen müssen und klar trennen müssen was Fiktion und was Realität ist. In so einem Fall haben beide die Verantwortung.

Well Twitter is still used by Musk fanboys, right wingers, from people who don’t understand Mastodon and/or the Fediverse and probably from people who use it for porn.

brayd, 5 days ago

I don’t but many people do since many creators use Twitter for that. I personally don’t get why they don’t switch to Mastodon or another Fediverse software since there are probably NSFW instances too and if not some of them could team up and create one.

I love Immich and we used it for a long time but we eventually switched to Ente Photos simply because Immich’s upload on iOS isn’t really working and it took hours for some members in my family to sync 200 pictures that are being synced within a few minutes on Android. That was frustrating.

With Ente Photos that’s working fine so we decided to make the switch.

SSL on websites also is encryption. Still you can post your precious pictures “encrypted” via SSL for the whole world to see. I think everyone knew what was meant with encryption in this context.

Signal can’t see who is texting who. They can’t see which groups you are part of. Those information are end to end encrypted, same as your chats itself, your profile picture, your stories, etc.

Signal doesn’t store message timestamps either.

What Signal itself knows of you is your phone number, the timestamp of your registration, the timestamp of your last connection to the server. That’s it.

Yes metadata is critical but Signal handles metadata very well. Indeed, even though I’m a fan of Matrix, better than Matrix. Matrix is a metadata nightmare due to it’s centralized structure and the way the protocol works.

The server / backend is not open source. Even though it’s audited that’s a red flag.

SimpleX is great. BUT it’s not user friendly. Thus general adoption for the average user will be hard. Don’t get me wrong using the app itself is easy but as soon as someone switches their phone that doesn’t have technical knowledge they will loose their chats because they won’t understand the concept of moving their DB. Since you don’t have an identifier like a phone number with SimpleX those people could even lose contacts as a whole since they generate a new DB, hurting their social connections.

That’s the reason I personally never recommend SimpleX to anyone who doesn’t have the technical knowledge to understand stuff like that.

Signals server is open source. You can run a server. You just can’t connect to the main net because each server is it’s own thing so it doesn’t make sense besides for development purposes.

Please don’t spread misinformation.

• Signal server is open source (as said) and thus can be verified: github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
• and no they can’t see who you message as you can read in the technical specifications of the protocol: signal.org/docs/

The good thing here is that you don’t need to trust the server in order to have a secure communication since your clients decrypt and encrypt and not the server.

Yes they can optimize with things like this but that doesn’t make it insecure. It’s still the most secure solution that the average person can use.

Threema doesn’t even have the server open sourced at all, are for profit and their encryption has been compromised.

Session is shady.

Matrix is a metadata nightmare due to it’s federated aspects.

SimpleX is the only thing that is secure, anonymous and good in this regards but it has some small details left that prevents people from switching. I.e. simple things like the fact that you can’t see an overview of your images and videos sent in a chat without scrolling up all those messages. It seems trivial but for the average user stuff like that is important since they know it and use it every day in other messengers.

I’m currently on Wayland with Nvidia hardware and it’s running fine tbh

An actually good alternative to Notion for Linux.

brayd, 10 days ago

Yes I know about AppFlowy and also about Anytype. However AppFlowy feels off for some reason and not as stable. Anytype feels pretty good but it has the issue that you can’t store and sync more than I think 1 GB of data. You could self host a sync server but that’s extra complicated with that software for some reason. So it’s not really a good alternative either. :/

Downloaded it and I love it!

I personally just switched from Immich to Ente on my self hosted server, since it is E2EE and since sync doesn’t work that good for users on iOS with Immich right now. Also Ente just open sourced all their stuff including their server and supports self hosting. Very nice.

Some people say it’s “evil” since some drama with RedHat or something? I actually never looked into that drama and it’s probably overreaction of someone but has anyone heard of it or an idea what it’s about?

Debian is awesome but only if you don’t care about having the newest features and updates.

brayd, 10 days ago

Fully agree. That’s also the main reason I am using Notion even though it’s not FOSS, not encrypted etc.

I was fine using Obsidian (even though it’s not FOSS either, but you own your data) but I can’t figure out a good way to track books and quotes plus my opinion about them while querying them the same way it works in the database with Notion. Dataview is great for many things but doesn’t have pagination etc.

brayd, 10 days ago

Yes, I have tested Logseq and even donate to them monthly. However I don’t use it actively. Reason is that I just can’t figure out a way to store my quotes and my opinion about them from books the same way I do it in Notion.

Basically I store my quotes like this:
https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/33c4ce22-f5b0-43c0-849c-af41796e3a41.png
Inside each quote I write my opinion or the summary of the quote in my own words, etc.

And then for the books I have it like this:
https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/7347618a-9782-4f27-a830-40273de1dd46.png

And inside each book I have the quotes linked:
https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/618a8473-bc02-4b19-89bf-c48be8f5db41.png

So yeah I haven’t found any way in Obsidian or Logseq to replicate this structure. It’s always something simliar that’s not working the same way and feels off and only with tweaks, custom CSS and stuff like that.

Android Auto is supported. Payments are the only thing holding me back currently. But that’s not something the developers of GrapheneOS can change unfortunately.

For me Nextcloud AIO works. Still I don’t like how “unstable” NC is. There’s always something that does not work in any setup. Wish it was more stable or there would be a better alternative. For me it’s videos. But only those that are MP4 and have their moov atom at the end of the file. They can’t be played.

It’s a headache. Set up Ente Photos just for that. Good side effect is that the images from my family and myself are stored E2EE encrypted on the self hosted Ente Photos instance.

Bei mir waren die linke und Volt gleich auf am höchsten. Da ich Volt sehr gut finde, sie mir aber ein kleines bisschen zu kapitalistisch sind, werde ich vermutlich mit der linken sticken.

Well here I am about one year later after switching accounts finally seeing your comment… :D This helped!

However, would it be possible to only show the last “depth” of that query so it only queries the actual quotes? I.e. instead of:

https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/56a64bdb-15ca-40d3-ba2d-c6e191fca3e8.png

It would be better if it would look like:

https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/1cc46f68-1bfe-4fcc-9156-9b03f1ce3820.png

Since the query basically is looking up the quotes by that author (I left the book out in that one) and is being put on the page of the author it is clear what it is and it should only display the actual quotes and the book’s name.

It’s not that big of an issue if that isn’t possible but it would improve it visually in case you have several books with many quotes etc.
