Google Drive is as unpleasant to use as Google Docs is pleasant to use.
It seems to be the opposite for FOSS solutions.
It’s a strong motivator to finish up my Kubernetes series of posts so I can deploy Docs, the markdown-first collaborative suite by @codegouvfr
LocalSend is an application for cross-platform file-sharing with a user experience similar to Apple's proprietary AirDrop.
https://localsend.org/
It can be more convenient than sharing via #Syncthing or #Nextcloud for large file transfers or one-off transfers between devices, especially across devices running free and proprietary operating systems.
Alternatively, you can transfer files via Bluetooth old-school style, but #LocalSend uses Wi-Fi or ethernet which are much faster.

I got used to having a scratch buffer in Emacs.
I am not using Emacs anymore, but tried to compensate for this by using a ~/scratch.md file. It didn't stick, i.e. wasn't habit-forming.
Trying out a scratch.md in Nextcloud Notes now.
It took me some time to figure out that "Notes is a native app" in Nextcloud means that I just need to create a new text file and start writing. I spent some time searching the menus for an app called "Notes".
The official #Nextcloud Fediverse account is advertising a UI theme that is marked as not being compatible with supported Nextcloud versions (30, 31).
The recommended theme is compatible up until NC 29.
I‘m thankful for this compatibility info. It helps to prevent installations of incompatible and unmaintained add-ons.
Was this recommendation post generated by an ethical AI agent? Because to admins, this recommendation doesn’t make sense. :)
A file server written in #Python that does it all: copyparty
https://github.com/9001/copyparty
Amazing how so many features and development went in one tool. This why I love #FOSS.
The video is brilliant as well: https://youtu.be/15_-hgsX2V0?si=x8RBx_O61crAchfQ
In many home networks this might be a much better option than something like #NextCloud. Just run it on a #Linux system and go.
Just installed update of #Nextcloud v31.0.8 and no trouble. Did more than 200 of these since more than a decade.
Lovin' it ❤️

this is a valid discussion no matter which corner of the digital universe we focus on, but priorities are terribly important:
what matters now is not whether goverments fund tools they use (or could use) like #drupal, #nextcloud, #libreoffice, #fediverse servers and so much else
Total control of mobile devices is the Death Star of the Evil Empire.
The equivalent of funding roads, schools and hospitals is an #opensource mobile OS as a universal right for every single citizen.
Funding Open Source like public infrastructure
> To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution.

Leuk weetje: Ik organiseer mijn campagne via #NextCloud. Voor veel vrienden, familie, collega's en andere Volters die meehelpen is het de eerste keer dat ze dat gebruiken. Heel tof :)
De Tweede Kamerfractie van @voltnederland werkt nu trouwens nog op Google Drive. Daar zou ik als Kamerlid natuurlijk vanaf dag 1 verandering in brengen. Tijd voor een IT-er in de fractie!
Finally I canceled my company's Google account. Moved mail to Fastmail and docs to Libreoffice plus Nextcloud Files.
#nextcloud made it possible for me to (self-)host my (and my family's) phone calendars, contacts, and even when pictures are taken, they get uploaded to our Nextcloud instance, and NOT to google/apple.
10/10, would recommend for any household looking to #degoogle.
Others include #searxng, has literally replaced all monolithic search engines, works great, no ads or AI
#mastodon, for my #activitypub based social network
#matrix for chatting with my social network
and also #KDE.
It's amazing to see that #DeGoogling is possible. 😎🙌
Share your favorite DeGoogle apps in the comments!
