I guess it's fine if you want a widely integrated solution that can do a lot of different things.
I'm using it only for myself, so definitely not representative of using it in a company but maybe my experience helps.

The just working part, at least for me, are the calendar and contact plugins. Never had any issues with those.
File sync with the desktop client works mostly fine on Linux where I use it most of the time. However, I've run into issues with it on Windows. Using the automatic bandwidth limit for example might cause Explorer to freeze. [1]
Also forget about the automatic upload feature in the Android client, I switched to FolderSync for a reliable experience.

I've managed to get OnlyOffice working, Collabora Office previously broke for some reason. However latest upgrade also broke OnlyOffice. The solution for this is to put the secret and authorization headers into config.php in addition to the OnlyOffice plugin settings. [2] No idea why, but that is a thing.

My Nextcloud runs as a normal PHP application and I haven't had any issues with upgrading yet. Going from, I think, version 23 on Debian 11 to 27.1 now on a different machine running Debian 12 since I started using it.

Maybe I should find something more focused on file syncing, but the all-in-one approach of Nextcloud and its various plugins makes trying some new services very easy.

I don't think anyone is arguing for what you're arguing against here tbh. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything.

On the other hand, the law in question rather limits the freedom to chose cultivated meat products.
Adding yet another dimension to the challenge is the transformational nature of the EV business, which may ultimately be driven less by hardware than software.

I'd argue the opposite. I wouldn't buy a software filled "smart EV". I'd love a dumb as hell, electric "kei van" that's 4WD.

No Japanese automaker produces them however, it's absolutely ridiculous considering how popular the form factor and "dumb" kei car is.
Two things:

1. This is really excellent. I looked up some tab that I had added to the site, and it does a great job presenting it. Most importantly, it does it in a very printable format.

>All marketing is inherently a lie or misleading due to inescapable conflicts of interest. They have every reason in the world to want you to believe certain stuff. Therefore you should be skeptical and disbelieve them by default.

What? No it isn't. The easiest marketing is when you don't have to because the good act stands on its own. Marketing is often a lie but it doesn't have to be.

>I don't doubt it was. The author of the mastodon posts this thread is about made very convincing arguments as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah I was familiar with the incident before this post and it seems pretty open and shut to me. These things have happened a few times in the past but this is as far as I know the only case of a US air defense system accidentally shooting down a civilian aircraft. It was taken serious at the time and hasn't happened since. What I find more troublesome is that the details of the investigation and the actions taken were made public yet other nations didn't take similar steps so similar mistakes have been made by other parties since. Notably, Iran themselves.
Also, please hit me with any feedback, specifically for the documentation clarity and call quality.

My goal is to keep fundamental utilities and accessibility tools like translation services in the hands of small creators rather than some mega corporation, so I'm open to any improvement that can make that a reality.

Probably can troubleshoot a bit. How do you know they don't like you? What's your guess as to why?
I understand this apparently altruistic reason: rather than educate people to avoid massacres, you'd replace everyone with mannequins. So they're free to massacre mannequins. If we are to become saints because we made synthetic goo to save cows, I'd say we are still pretty lazy because we learned nothing about the ethics of killing other suffering beings like us on this planet. (Being provocative: of course there is already empathy in that reasoning, but the root cause is still out there; our lack of empathy and greed.)
So lower quality than real meat, and higher cost? I only took economics yesterday, but wouldn't that be a net negative on those who go to sleep hungry(children) since costs are higher and a decline in demand for animal meat.
Another poor decision from my governament, pushing Italy further beyond the curve of innovation and scientific research, banning an entire industry sector before it's even born.

Lucky for us, it's an useless law: if Europe choose to allow those products to be sold (which is currently not allowed), Italy must oblige.

The only actual consequence of this law, aside from prohibiting some names for meatless foods, is denying the birth of a whole industry sector.
The article itself is a great read and it has fascinating info related to this issue.

However I am more interested/concerned about another part. How the issue is reported/recorded and how the communications are handled.

Reporting is done over discord, which is a proprietary environment which is not indexed, or searchable. Will not be archived.

Communications and deliberations are done over discord and telegram, which is probably worse than discord in this context.

This blog post and the github repository is the lingering remains of them. If Xuanwo did not blog this. It would be lost in timeline.

Isn't this fascinating?

Free Trade is something that powerful nations impose on less powerful nations. Anything else is just ideological bullshit.

EDIT: I understand that free trade theoretically could be a win-win game. But the real world is a lot more complicated, and is a historical fact that developed nations always have and continue to push for less powerful nations to open their markets while abusing of protectionist practices themselves.

> Scrolling through endless humblebrags without targeted ads is a fundamental right, according to privacy expert

I wonder what make a right fundamental or not?

Some right, like the right to life, is illegal to sell.. You can't let others kill you in exchange of money.

UN list "right to education", which, is not that universal.. You can't get unlimited education without paying.
The law eliminates misinformation. The synthetic products are still available.
On the Volvo 240, the analog speedometer tends to get sticky after you've done a couple hundred thousand miles. Sometimes it will reset if you just hit the dash hard enough, sometimes you just have to guess the speed based on the RPM and gear and experience.

Perhaps so. I trimmed down the parts where I referenced Euclid in a similar vein to “conclusions … inevitable if you … accept other axioms.” I was thinking though of this Veritasium video outlining the development of non-Euclidean geometries:

Mine are basically under every water-using appliance, plus some extra ones in the basement in places where there is a risk of water ingress.

I've also built a sensor (HC-SR04, ESP32, ESPHome, Home Assistant) to monitor the water level in my sump pit so that I can make sure the pumps are working.
The Italians have largely voted for a party that vowed to protect their culture. Perhaps the resulting laws are shitty for you, but likely not for the majority of Italians.
Economies of scale will be a significant hurdle. Id imagine that there would have to be countries producing at a massive scale for your hypothetical to become reality.
I thought Italy was responsible for introducing the rest of Europe to all sorts of goods coming across the silk road for the first time. Italy was the most important center of trade in Europe for a long time.
I mean you listed plenty of reasons the relationship is bad. But those are all pretty good reasons for GS to want to bail! Like "Apple is a PITA demanding all bills come due on a specific day for everyone" does not lead to "Apple wants to terminate the relationship".

As anyone who has dealt with vendor integrations would tell you, when one side has a list of demands about how something should work, you know it's going to be a headache. Though I am still legit confused as to how GS ended up being the partner (beyond the cynical "every other company laughed Apple out of the room", which is not a great sign for Apple either!)

I have no inside info, but like you I know that GS is pulling out of consumer stuff in general. Let's just say that in a relationship where GS was constantly, constantly, constantly leaking complaints to the press, it's not a huge logical jump to think that GS would want to end such a relationship.

This is all just gossip of course. None of this matters, and I have no horse in the race. It's just fun to think about.
That’s an extremely loaded and and controversial claim.
My claim is not "many niches migrated to Mastodon", but "Twitter is not at the center of tech discussion". At least, not for the hacker types. Even here, the majority of HN links that show up as a Twitter thread are about technology "businesses", not tech itself.

> If Jews can have Kashrut and Muslims can only eat halal food (basically everything, except pork and its by-products), we can say no to lab grown food.

As an agnostic person who believes church and state should be very separate, you make the perfect argument for why I think this law is stupid. If you don't want to drink alcohol, smoke, eat pork or lab grown meat, go ahead. But don't force others into your religious ways of doing through restrictive laws. Just don't buy that stuff at the grocery store.
I have a disaster storey to share about this.

Sometimes the car does not want to go in to drive/reverse for some unknown reason.

Not long after I first got my tesla, I was making a 3 point turn to go on to my driveway. I moved forward, then stopped, turned the wheel, pressed the stalk to go in to reverse, pressed the accelerator and WENT FORWARD, right in to my old car denting the door. There was no indication the car declined to go in to reverse apart from the icon on the screen.

Now, Tesla released an update so the car makes an audible noise when changing to drive/reverse and a separate noise when the car refuses your instruction. It's much better but annoyingly the car still refuses quite often to go in to Drive/Reverse when you tell it to, especially when you just get in to it. I now out of habit press the gear stalk 4 or 5 times when first getting in to drive it.
Do you not realize the absurdity of your own question?
> and yet not having equipment to monitor civilian air traffic control in the area? I'm not sure.

Did you not read the linked article in the thread you’re replying to? The US did have an IFF detection system, it was a core part of how it worked. The issue was a UI failure which confused identification by mixing up two different (real) IFF indicators one from military and one from civilian and made it seem to the captain that the military one was flying towards them. That’s a legit honest mistake.

They had 4 minutes from the “take off” to when it was almost overhead. Navigating Iranian air traffic control radio isn’t exactly a solution in tense situations.

> We don't know how the US military would've reacted if Iran Air 655 would've overflown restricted airspace above the US.

Restricted US airspace has been violated many times in history. As have Russians. And many other countries.
> you still have to compile it to all platforms. And have to debug it on all platforms

That's no problem at all. In case of Qt I only need a C++98 compiler for each platform, and also Qt Creator is available everywhere. Usually I only have to debug on the development platform though, since it is the same code on all platforms, and the framework in use abstracts the platform away.

> And still have to download, hunt down in the file system and potentially require admin to grant rights to run it

Downloading is not really an issue, is it? Just download one ZIP or TAR.GZ or DMG, unpack it and run the executable. No admin rights required.

> Qt Creator is horrid, Qt C++ is a weird language of its own and requires hackery like moc

Well, that's your opinion. In fact the tool is very good, the call and linking of moc and generated files is transparent, and C++ is an excellent work horse.

> do something not included in Qt, it's often welcome to the hell that is CMake et all.

No problem at all. Of course you have to know both Qt and C++ good enough, but that's something a developer can master.

> Delphi is proprietary, Windows-only and the language is niche and IMHO not very good even compared to Qt C++

There is FreePascal/Lazarus which is open source and runs even on more platforms than Qt. Even Delphi runs on other platforms. Whether you prefer C++ or Object Pascal is a matter of taste.
> The unintended consequence of the new law is to ensure that Italy 100% misses out on the many promising social, economic, and environmental benefits of a transition to synthetic and plant-based food. The new law strikes me as very shortsighted. I hope Italy eventually comes to its senses and repeals it.

They seem to be avoiding the "unintended consequences" of consuming synthetic food. Perhaps they are thinking on the timeline of lifetimes & generations?
Rich people need to let criticism of their wealth exist without complaining.

When you look at steak in m-w, you might be surprised to learn that one of the definitions for steak is: a thick slice or piece of a non-meat food especially when prepared or served in the manner of a beef steak.

Has there been unambiguous, conclusive proof that animal-based meat is safe or that plant-based meat is unsafe?

This is a very loaded and pointless question. Those products are sold for years already, they are tested enough to say that they won't kill you immediately. Everything else is pointless until you have some relevant clue to a real threat. But just as a reminder: we know that animal-based meat is unhealthy and can cause cancer. Still legal to sell, because at the level of normal consumption, it doesn't matter.
Reminiscent of things like a kitchen tools company sponsoring a newsletter for pastry chefs and bakers. Perhaps not "laser focused on their brand" and even helps the competition, too.
The problem with this is that "unambiguous, conclusive proof" is an ill-defined benchmark.

That's before getting into the question of food allergies or intolerances. I stopped eating meat 8 or so years ago, and I love seitan, but that would be wildly unhealthy for a person with a gluten allergy to consume. On the other hand my meat eating sister is allergic to chicken, and has been told by her doctor to cut down on red meat, so seitan is safer for her than animal products.
Odd, Google is always 1-4 hours for me (seems automated) while Apple tends to take anywhere between 2-14 days. And the Apple "reviewers" tend to whine about points they OKd the past dozen times. Or even better, sometimes they whine about things we changed because another reviewer asked for it. Must have wasted weeks worth of developer time just to appease these reviewers and their differing opinions.
Then perhaps you shouldn’t be doing that? Or if the position is that environment variables are suitable to hold secrets, the php folks should document the phpinfo function as a security risk and something that should not be available to unauthenticated users.

Not choosing is not an option, it leads to this ‘max severity score’ ‘vulnerability’.
Marshalls ?
My guess is the although Apple got great terms on the deal leading GS to lose money, they had a reputational risk with GS since the service was poor and GS had no incentive to invest in improving it.
On the other hand, chicken nuggets made out of rice explains exactly what they were eating and what the food might have tasted like and how it might have been cooked. You didn't explain what's wrong with that beyond it sounding funny to you.

Quorn makes chik'n nuggets made of mycoprotein with similar nutrients to a chicken nugget, but with the added benefit of fiber and less saturated fat.

Including chicken nuggets in the name is useful for the exact purpose of helping the consumer scratch their itch for a food with something that approximates that food. Maybe they care about animal ethics, maybe they're allergic to chicken, maybe they want to reduce saturated fat despite eating something that tastes 95% like a chicken nugget.

Requiring them to label it "fried mushroom protein" doesn't help anyone and seems to be coming from an emotional/reactionary place rather than a place of helping consumers.
I hope their user group is called dobb-e club and they have some kind of Corfu ‘06 tie in.

For those who aren’t up on British comedies, this is a Peep Show reference.
Maybe for some very fringe groups but probably not. That sounds more like someone confusing the KJV with the Septuagint, which has a similar legend - that 70 Hebrew scholars independently produced the same Greek Translation of the Old Testament.
you may be forced to eat the synthetic food when it is the only kind of meat you can afford after most meat producers switched to the a production chain that produces synthetic meat for higher profit.
I didn’t mean a label.

Like if I call someone a hypocrite I’m not labeling them, I’m expressing something about them that would be tedious to do in complete sentences.

In this case I’m looking for something like someone-who-complains-about-things-only-caused-by-their-complaining-about-them. There’s probably something Greek. Like a complaining ouroboros.
It is more like the inverse. The big benefit is that as a user, you are able to acquire apps not distributed through the official app store. This can be useful for things like F-Droid.

For an app seller that needs revenue, the Play Store is the only practical option. Otherwise, they'd have to convince the user to tap the screen a half dozen more times, and that is too big of an ask. It'd ultimately hurt revenue more than the 30% tax.

Open Source Acceleration Manifesto
I sent this to the right people.
This is silly. Non-prisoners are paying out the nose for prisoners' "free" stuff already, and worrying about some pennies on top of that is petty.

Offering prisoners free phone access is very likely to save non-prisoners shittons of money, so we should do it.
Any good reading on this? Might be some interesting learning opportunities for (cyber)security monitoring, which is a total mess right now. Stakes are a bit less severe, but still.
We're seeing views of China's entire space station for the first time
> Are you saying women don't think they'll get a slot at a user group that is begging for anyone to talk up a slot and are quite clear about the urgency of it? I feel like that's sexist somehow, like women fundamentally aren't able to realise user groups would take anyone that comes. This overall feels like trying to pretend like there isn't an extreme shortage when basic stats paint a clear picture.

No, I'm saying that it is human nature for all of us to be more likely to see ourselves doing something of we see people we find it easier to identify doing the same thing.

If you struggle to understand the effect of this, then try to talk to people who are underrepresented in various contexts about their experiences sometime.

> So you've seen one "Go User Group" get women and another "Go User Group" in the same city/location fail to get women? Or are you talking about different niches?

Same niche, same city.

>I see we've gone from talking in generalisation to being specific because generalisations aren't working for you?

Generalisations work just fine too, but we both know you're using generalisations to avoid defending the case referenced in the article that you know is indefensible. You're not fooling anyone. Case in point:

> I'm going to ignore all your case specific response to a generalised thread.

How convenient for you to ignore the things you have no response to. I'm going to take that as you conceding those points, because you have nothing.

> You explictly said you need to look outside your applicant pool if you're not diverse enough. That, to me, says you'll reject people in your applicant pool because they're not the right gender or race. At which point it's discrimination and racism and sexism and illegal.

There's nothing illegal in any jurisdiction I know of with looking to widen your applicant pool if you realize it is biased. But nice try at justifying your defence of discriminatory practices by trying to accuse me of it for arguing for addressing biases.

> As pointed out, skipping over your applicant pool for others because of their sex and gender is illegal and sexist and racist. And I can't think of any reason sexism or racism should be acceptable.

And yet you're trying hard to defend them by trying to equate rooting out biases with discrimination. If only your support for it wasn't so wildly transparent. It fools nobody.
Ever heard of deprecation of assets?

I suppose if you think your audience is a bunch of gentle souls who couldn’t possibly cope with the shock of this first episode, yet they’d be fine by the time it came to S04E05 “Metalhead”, then yes, this is perhaps an interesting problem that needs solving.
This industry is new and seemingly needs a little deception at first to get people to adopt their products faster. Time will solve this one, people will find an identifier that they like and in this case it won’t be Italian since they won’t be enjoying these for now.
