  • There are politically motivated “think tanks” that pump out a lot of misinformation, in a similar vein as the tobacco lobbies used to do.

    Either they claim that there’s no such thing as climate change, or “rising temperatures are of all times”, or “we humans didn’t cause climate change” to (in my country) “we’re just a tiny country, what we do, doesn’t make any difference on a global scale, because (insert third world country) will just continue to harm the environment”.

    Some people (who seemingly are bereft of any conscience or empathy) are susceptible to such propaganda, because it makes them feel better than with the news about climate change.











  • I’ve replaced my nextcloud install with copyparty… Nextcloud went tits up for me after a reboot, the database kept complaining about illegal characters. I have no idea how to solve it, after restoring a backup proved fruitless. So I dropped it. I already had a test instance of copyparty running, I just incorporated the nextcloud data folder to it.

    The only thing I miss is the cookbook. But I have the json files, I think I’ll cobble together a json interpreter for the files so that I can copy the recipes into some other application.

    The only thing from your list that copyparty can’t do is keep files offline. It doesn’t use a sync-ing client.

    What’s easier to support?

    "Ok, open app commandX,
    now click on the button labeled Y… It’s just there, just below your mouse cur… oh now you’ve moved your mouse… no, not there, it’s more to the left, up a bit… down a bit, it’s labeled Y. Third one from the top.
    Yes, that’s the one, now click it.
    ok, in this pop up you type "super secret code thing’,
    no, capitalization doesn’t matter.
    Yes. I’ll spell it “s u p e r {space} s e c r e t {space} c o” what do you mean, you don’t have a T on your keyboard? "

    Or. “Open up the terminal and type this code: commandX --CodeY This will do XYZ. After it’s done, can you tell me the error it says on the screen?”

    But yes, I agree, the GUI looks nicer.
