We‘ll need a directory of these directories …

Thats exactly what dark paterns are: asking „do you want to backup your files?“, instead of transparently asking if you want to „MOVE your files to OneDrive“. Then not providing clear „Yes“ and „No“ buttons. But showing a convenient „Continue“ (or similar) and a scary worded „dont backup“ (or similar). And there are so many times where I deliberately uninstalled Onedrive, Outlook(new) and others, only to find them back in the menu an hour later. Also hate these f**ing questions, where you have the big blue „Yes“ button and only a „ask me later“ to deny. Or you have to find some blue words in the explaining text to click on, like when starting MS-Office on a local account the first time: Big „Login everywhere with MS-Account“ button, and „only MS-Apps“ just in the fine print (not even a way to say „only use MS-Account in Office“)

Yep - just happened to me yesterday. While installing new Laptop -> BIOS update -> „something something PIN can not be validated -> make new PIN“ - smh

To follow this logic: if you use an e-banking app, Apple will soon claim to be entitled to 30% of all transactions. Same for paypal, ebay, you name it

Also they already start shortening the live cycle of the non subscription office licenses, calling it „Modern-Lifecycle-Policy“. Up to now you hat 7-10 years of update support. But this year Office 2016 and 2019 phase out, next year already Office 2021! And Office 2024 only has support til 2029. Thats from today only 4 years (at the same price!)

You beat me by some minuts :)

I‘m using an ssh tunnel for that pupose. So if I can ssh into a remote synology, I can also create an ssh tunnel to any of the IPs of the remote network. Then I just open my regular local browser with an address https://localhost/:

„… DT and other relugous leaders …“ - WTF?

Let‘s assume its true: those were so much healthier times. Covid was not heard of yet, Twitter was still Twitter. Today it‘s normality that AIs are making the decision if you work here or not (certainly deciding during recruting if your CV is forwarded, maybe also for firing by DOGE). It‘s normality that AIs decide if your content on your cloud account should trigger criminal investigation and closing your account for good. Anyway most big companies are not reachable by a customer anymore (in order to contact a real person). They have grown providing services to (and taking money from) way too many users, but paying way too few employees to handle it.

My personal opinion is that any company should be allowed to grow (by customer base) only to a size, where they can still handle customer contacts by real persons. If their product is working flawlessly it causes fewer needed customer contacts, so fewer employees can handle it. On the other hand, if the product is shit, more customer contact employees must be hired relative to customer base.

From my POV not only „free of adds and tracking“ are important to underline. Also „free of political and commercial pressure“ is key, from my POV this is the most important, especially in the current political climate. I know this is not directly a reason why donations are needed, like the others are. But for someone to decide about a donation this is a very important reason to throw money in.

Thanks for the great app. I‘m having trouble though (ipad with ios 16.7.10, can not go higher) with the video player: clicked a link to a youtube content. Player is full screen, but I find no way to go back to the post. Have to quit the app and restart it.
