Will the rails be high-speed rail? (so at least 150km/h or something like that)

Anyway, cool project! I hope to hear from it in like 10 years when it’s done lol

I just donated €100, because they’ll need it more than I do.

It seems that while this update once again contains lots of (unncessary) AI bullshit, it also has some other positive changes, such as :

• More End-To-End encrypted functionality
• Improved file upload (apparently 6x as fast)
• Better performance
• Converting documents
• Native desktop client UI (hopefully the new appImage does work for Linux, because it does not work right now.
• Improved AppAPI for other developers to develop plugins / apps / extensions in different programming languages
• Added pronouns to account profile
• Right-To-Left text for the Arabic users (and whoever uses RTL instead of LTR)
• PGP/MIME support for Nextcloud Mail
• Chunked file upload on desktop app
• Improved OpenID Connect API

Overall, I am still disappointed by the direction towards AI that Nextcloud has taken, but I suspect that it makes them more money. Also, apparently large organizations / enterprises who pay Nextcloud GmbH for support, are also allowed to influence the roadmap of the software, which probably has something to do with jumping on the AI bandwagon.

However, despite this new direction, Nextcloud still does the job for me: Easy file syncing, with document collaboration, calendar, contacts and basically act as a whole replacement for Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace / whatever with little to no problems.

Lmao, did he put his head down on his desk to rest and accidentally hit the wrong button?

Looks like the arms race with nukes are back on the table… Ugh, whatever it takes to keep Europe safe I guess… I’d rather not have this, but unfortunately it seems like the 180 turn by the US and Russia’s agression is forcing Europe to do this.

Be aware that some member states (such as Slovakia, Austria and Hungary) are playing a big role in this, as they have explicitly stated that they do not want to stop consuming Russian gas due to the cheap prices.

While some member states (such as Germany & the Netherlands) are actively reducing the dependence on Russia, others are actively increasing it, which skews the average results and lead to articles like these.

Lots of populist European parties are doing the same and are actually gaining votes by blaming everything on the immigrants.

I’m not sure if this has been posted before, so my apologies if this is a repost.

Anyway, this is a great website containing alternatives to American big tech companies.

Disclaimer: While this is European, it doesn’t suddenly mean that this is necessarily better for your privacy or anything (although all these European alternatives do need to obey the GDPR law, which is a plus).

If it were up to me, European countries would send a (small) army to fulfill this request…

There’s Ryot.

Besides that, there’s also Movary, which has contributions from yours truly, but it only supports tracking movies at the moment. I’m planning on adding TV show support later, probably after the first stable 1.0 has released (In my mind it’ll probably be major release 2.0 or 3.0). The main dev and I don’t have much time these days, so it might take a while…

So my first thought is: Download the entire file BEFORE watching it. This ensures that you won’t have to buffer while watching and it’ll run 100% smoothly.

Downloading files isn’t very difficult generally; just go to some (torrenting) website, copy the magnet or download the torrent and import it into your torrent client.

When you have your .mp4, .mkv, .whatever file, you can simply click on it and play it on your preferred media player (such as VLC). However, you may want to watch it on some other device… Easy solution (for TVs) is just connect your laptop to your TV with an HDMI cable, duplicate your screen and start watching.

But if you actually want to stream, you’ll have to tread into the self-hosting zone. Meaning that you run a media server that hosts all your content and your devices (whether it’s a TV, android phone, iPhone, whatever) can access and play the content from your server.

This is a very, very big topic that I won’t cover in a single comment. I will point you in the right direction and mention Jellyfin; Jellyfin is a free, open-source media server that you can set up to manage and stream your files with

If you just want to track your data for yourself, without the social media features (like Strava has), I would recommend Opentracks.

I considered voting for them, but I didn’t.

The reason is because there are other parties with comprehensive plans for digitalisation / IT stuff PLUS lots of other plans for healthcare, economy, infrastructure, etc.

Pirate party seems like a party focused on IT stuff only, whereas I also care about other topics, such as international trains, subsidizing healthcare, improving education and lots of other things.

(I voted for Volt Nederland BTW)

So this woman is jailed for live streaming the truth?

Sounds good, but they first need to actually deliver the jets, because this is otherwise pointless.

I think they could add a tag system, where the user enters their interests as a tag and then Loops shows all the content that shares the same tag.

Yes, it’s more effort than TikTok, which automatically guesses what your interests are, but I think it’s still a good, privacy friendly alternative.

I wanted to watch Game of Thrones, but I couldn’t, because there was no legal streaming service available back then. (This was in 2015 or something).

That’s when I discovered the Pirate Bay and its wonders…

Does this eBook downloading thing affect the rest of the Archive? Like, will the entire archive be affected or just the OpenLibrary part of the Archive?

I’m on PC and I haven’t noticed anything changed. Literally. I don’t notice any bugs nor have I noticed a sudden improvement of my graphics. It seems to me that the 15gb that Steam downloaded, was just full of 0’s and don’t do anything.

Edit: Nevermind, apparently the new quests and items are part of the update, so in that case I have definitely noticed something lol.

Yeah, I mean, I:

• Eat at least three times per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
• Exercise three times per week (in the gym, lifting weights)
• Sleep at least 7 or 8 hours per night
• Go outside every day
• Have a skincare routine (although it’s not much)
• Brush my teeth twice per day (after breakfast and before going to sleep)
