As long as the backdoor is licenced GPL what’s the problem?

This may be a logical fallacy known as false equivalence, when one fact is stated or implied to be conflated with another not directly related fact.

Sometimes a bandage helps to stop the bleeding.

Sometimes bandages are left on too long and wounds fester.

Bandages can be useful sometimes, but care must still be taken.

I haven’t tried it but I’ve been thinking about it… Since NextCloud supports s3 storage it would seem its photo apps, such as Memories should work that way?

Crickets is a good alternative. Especially when sprinkled on avacado toast.

Seems like a tacit admission at very least that to anyone without access to these internal documents the accusation of genocide is reasonable. Interesting.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, my server is old. COPS is old, but still works great for me. .

Calibre has built in server, but while running server (last I checked) it locks the db so you can’t do much with the Gui, can’t add books etc. Also I’m already running a a web server with php so it’s more efficient just to slap the COPS web app there rather than run yet another server.

“In the non-violent condition, however, participants with higher scores in Machiavellianism had a higher increase in cortisol” - linked study

So people trying to be manipulative bastards in ‘nice’ games increase thier stress? Interesting.

Unfortunately the source study appears to be paywall and not yet on sci-hub, so don’t know what specific games they used. As to how they define Machiavellianism, I assume something toke this:

“In the field of personality psychology, Machiavellianism is a personality trait characterized by interpersonal manipulation, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a strategic focus on self-interest.” - Wikipedia

Ask why. Then probably work on subversion… because it is seriously doubtful they’ve come back for any good reason.

Similarly I use COPS (php calibre front-end)… But with no users or auth. If you can guess the URL you are in! Exciting.

Works well with nextcloud also.

Aves is really good. Used Simple Gallery Pro for years and it was great. But switching to Aves is painless for me.

AppStream makes machine-readable software metadata easily accessible. It is a foundational block for modern Linux software centers, offering a seamless way to retrieve information about available software, no matter the repository it is contained in. It can provide data about available applications as well as available firmware, drivers, fonts and other components. This project it part of freedesktop.org.

Interesting perspective. Maybe you could find some good articles with more nuance to post?

There are a few attempts things like this. Here is one… https://fedi.directory

Maybe check out Pop! OS

But, yes, nearly all linux software will run on any distro. And even a fair amount of windows software will run on any of them with WINE (or VirtualBox if desperate). Occasionally commercial software will get packaged in an “installer” format a particular distro doesn’t know how to install. A fairly rare situation, for which there are almost always work-arounds. You can cross that bridge if you ever encounter it.
