  • Best way to keep a gmail based non-gmail email address

    Jump

  • 2 things to make this easier:

    • No need to manage domain, hosting providers. Just get privacy-first mail provider (like Proton or something).
    • No need to big-bang it. Just start connecting new accounts to the new email instead of Googles. Then once in while change them for existing services (retail for example and government) one by one.

    Then after 2 years or so you will notice a couple of old ones are from obsolete services or can be changed to finish it off.

  • Weather App of Choice?

  • Is it possible to have a full install of Windows 11 on thumb drive?

    Jump

  • Last I did this it was with an external hard drive. First via USB with changed boot order and later on with a Thunderbolt Samsung X5 drive which is considered "second internal drive" for performance reasons.

  • Watch videos in FreshRSS like it's YouTube: "Youlag" extension (v4.0.3)

    Jump

  • Oh ... thnx will do!

  • Watch videos in FreshRSS like it's YouTube: "Youlag" extension (v4.0.3)

    Jump

  • It looks like this (by default after install):

    I read in the documentation Youlag is included in FreshRSS so I didnt tinker with it ....

  • Watch videos in FreshRSS like it's YouTube: "Youlag" extension (v4.0.3)

    Jump

  • Just for this returned to FreshRSS on tried it on my Yunohost server. Added a youtube user feed and got a list of their latest videos. They dont actually seem to be playable tho? No play button, just a picture and the link.

    Dont know if they are supposed to have controls?

  • What FOSSy Signal groups are you a member of?

    Jump

  • Although feeling the same as the other commenters, I gave it benefit of doubt. Using it for 2 groups, Openstreetmap and CoMaps. It works more or less.

  • Manyverse – a peer-to-peer social network

    Jump

  • Forgot this existed, tested it 5 years ago or so. Latest release is from 2019.

    AFAIK every message propagates through the entire network, not knowing its destination, but only the rigth recipient can decrypt it. As a consequence of the scuttlebutt protocol.

    That didnt seem scalable to me ....

  • Welcome Dan Williams, new LibreOffice Developer focusing on UI/UX - The Document Foundation Blog

    Jump

  • Maybe the "you never get a second chance for a first impression" is indeed unfair but it is hurdle for adoption.

    In my case my motivation to keep using and trying LibreOffice is driven by the hate for MS and not by the love for LO.

    For example: I went through some eye surgeries and really needed a dark mode. But I couldnt get a dark mode in which buttons still were cleary visible. Icons not showing well and hard to tell what they were for. Meaning I kept hoping the tooltips showed something usefull. But "reading" icons is a bit strange .... I am sure if I search forums, git issues and documentation something usefull will turn up.

    And maybe its infantile like you said but I sure like contextual filled menubars since PaintshopPro in 2005. So whats with the empty menus showing a handfull buttons and everything else in some cornermenu? Seems like a waste of screen real estate.

    As for dataloss: sure my data wasnt lost but loading and pivoting a 90k row data table made Calc freeze and only restarted after killing it. 90k is not for everyone but it sure isnt a lot either in spreadsheet land.

  • Setting a color scheme on-the-fly for all apps & tools?

    Jump

  • Also ... dynamic changing them after my wallpaper rotation every 10 minutes, based on the colorpalette of the background photo ... while we're at it.

  • Office alternative from Germany by Ionos and Nextcloud is now available

    Jump

  • All the main components are already self hostable. But you wouldnt call it Ionos. If the serfdom region doesnt matter to you I get your reaction.

    But if businesses want to leave MS and looking for hosters of mail, Nextcloud and Collabora I would think that more European providers for hosting this as a suite are very much welcome.

    Especially SME cant afford the expertise to have this tech stack managed by themselves.

    So for me sticking with LibreOffice only compares to clients, not the hosting of files etc.

  • Lets save them ....

    • Cancelling renewables
    • Or make them apply for permits once again
    • Stop paying civil servants to handle those requests during a government shutdown
    • Keep paying those that handle oil / coal / drilling permits because they are 'essential''.

  • Dutch community on Signal

    Jump

  • You asked why and I gave an explanation where the 27 downvotes came from. So I think there is some agreement within this lemmy about being offtopic.

    If that bothers you too much I suggest focusing on something more productive, as I will do.

  • Not selfhosting AND privacy.

    From the sidebar of this lemmy:

    "A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control."

    So its about self-hosting with certain qualities (not giving up privacy or lockin). Not about privacy in general.

    Signal isnt selfhosted and does lock you in, albeit with a high reputation to not become evil.

    Better lemmy would be https://lemmy.ml/c/privacy
