Support for both iOS and GNU + Linux is a noteworthy convenient feature of a syncing system, but I'm more focused on what's currently available on GNU + Linux, which probably needs to be built upon to replicate Apple's level of quality.

 

For example, iOS has these features:

  • iCloud backup restore or peer-to-peer transfer, very early in the device setup process
  • Two ways for things to be stored in iCloud, each with a corresponding list of per-app (not per-folder) toggle switches in iCloud Settings
    • "Saved to iCloud" normal syncing
      • Requires apps to use the right APIs and to handle conflicting changes
      • Allows same data to be read and modified by multiple devices
    • iCloud backup
      • Available for all apps
      • Separate backup per device
      • Only downloaded when setting up a new device
      • In app sandboxes, only excludes tmp (Flatpak equivalent is somewhere in /run) and Library/Caches (equivalent to cache directory in Flatpak sandbox) by default
      • Allows apps to set isExcludedFromBackup attribute for specific files (useful for things that are easy to recreate via download but are expected by the user to not be automatically deleted)
      • Includes system configuration such as home screen layout
      • Backs up a list of installed apps without backing up their executables and assets
  • Synced list of previously installed apps, not separate per-device

I've seen chipping on two black plastic Hydro Flask wide mouth lids, and it looks unsafe.

The last time I drank out of a reusable bottle, I felt a string-like thing on my tongue, and when I grabbed it out, it was black, and way too thick to be hair. I don't know for sure where it came from, and I'm only 80% sure it's a problem with the bottle or lid.

The metal version of the Hydro Flask wide mouth lid has a 1-star review about "yummy metal shavings".

Oh, seems like I didn't consider the possibility that the href value I saw in the inspector is dynamically generated.

 
 

I know for sure that I'm looking for libre video chat software that has these features for the other person, not necessarily for me:

  • no need to create an account
  • mobile-friendly web app

I'm still deciding whether to do video chats on:

  • iPhone
  • Fedora GNU + Linux (GNOME)

Use case: I'm considering switching from text to video chat as my preferred method for initial conversations with people on dating sites/communities. There's not always a sacrifice of convenience by avoiding non-libre software for it, because whatever app is already being used typically only integrates messaging, not video chat.

When in comes to my own posts and comments, my trust in vague negative reactions is long gone.

Some things that made me more suspicious of Lemmy users:

  • Most criticism of one thing was vague and often mentioned my mental health. And the only non-vague comment was targeted at the involved Catholic beliefs/values and my unusual sense of humor.
  • I banned someone for 1 day for saying "So, am I right in assuming that OP has untreated schizophrenia? Wtf is this word vomit?" and someone described this as "banned a guy because he said you write poorly" which is a very weird interpretation. I obviously would not have gived a ban if the comment just said "you write poorly".

For me, taking online feedback less seriously was a big part of growing up.

Downvoting bad typos is so weird.

What are you talking about

An example of something that makes personality less visible is social anxiety. Changing that kind of stuff doesn't mean that one is wrongly "forcing it" or being less genuine.

Some advice mentioned in these comments are examples of criticizing the intention of finding a romantic partner ("intention" might have been too vague): https://www.reddit.com/r/CatholicDating/comments/1h0gy5r/what_is_some_advice_christian_people_swear_is/

Alternative phrasing of my observation: ... they confuse personality with the box surrounding it, and they take their own box's transparency for granted
