IMO Obsidian is already a little rogue, in the sense that it only supports their sync. I know you can glue something together by syncing the folder itself, but that's not convenient or the point. For now I'll stick with Joplin because it works with nextcloud nicely.

The Transit app, used for bus/train route info and buying tickets. I imagine the ticket buying part would be difficult to OS, but I just want the live transit routing info. A few apps exist for other cities, but not mine. Worst part is Transit relies on Google Maps.

One thing I've tried to take to heart on lemmy: On reddit I nearly never posted articles. But here, I try to post any article I find interesting. I think with such a small space we've gotta be the change we see. Every time you read something worthwhile, try to remember to find somewhere to post it here.

Very good summary. Full agree.

If Chromebooks are anything to go by, if google had their way you'd only be allowed to search prescreened questions they think are best for you. Can't have you experiencing anything not advertiser friendly.

Yea, I couldn't tell you the specifics. I know new members of group chats don't see any previous messages. I think it might re-negotiate the keys every time someone is added. It's probably not meant to scale up to very large groups (tho I've never tried), but I've noticed no issues in 25ish people chats.

It works about the same as any other app's group invite link. It can be set to automatically add the person or be treated as a request to join that needs approval.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Signal does have location sharing and invite links, FWIW.

What polish and features is signal missing?

[–] nix@midwest.social 3 points 6 months ago

Yea this is a very worrisome denial.

Fair enough. Happy May Day.

I did give it a knee-jerk reaction, true. I've since had my morning tea and am mostly just wondering what you get out of yelling at people on the internet. Not that I don't occasionally do the same. Maybe I'm asking you to better understand myself.
