Ik wilde al naar een andere notitie-app. Nu iets sneller.

Opties zijn Joplin of Logseq. Ben ook de notitie-functie van Murena aan het checken. Iemand die daarmee ervaring heeft? Plussen/minnen?
Must have: notitieboeken, snelkoppelingen, intern linken, tekstopmaak, op meerdere devices. Nice to have: tekenen. Niet nodig: Taken en agenda

One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger#Apps.

My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal¹, #Telegram, #Discord², #WhatsApp, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:

• WHY is there no #CrossProvider#Messenger to handle that shite?

• WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated#WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU they can??

This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)

• And no, bridgesdon't count!

• I mean API 0 - style access because obviously none of the platforms will allow, endorse or support such an endeavour and actively fight the developers and users !

So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidginfor garbage platforms!

• Cuz back in the day we had way worse messengers yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single "phat" client!

• Can we please get that back?

#Mastodon läuft gut. Ich (das FÖJ) arbeite nun an einem Vortrag darüber, den ich bei einem Vereinstreffen halten werde. Am Ende soll ich Menschen anleiten, auf Mastodon zu starten.

Ich würde - um Überforderung vorzubeugen - gerne eine App für's Handy empfehlen, nur welche? Usability ist sehr wichtig. Die Zielgruppe sind keine digital natives.

Bin auch dankbar für instanz vorschläge

A clash between Elon Musk’s xAI empire and European officials is intensifying with Poland and Germany calling for more aggressive action against the company following antisemitic comments made by the chatbot on X. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/10/tech/europe-musk-xai-grok/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #europe #elonmusk #xai #grok #ai #socialmedia #misinformation #eu #apps #x

AppImage is a frustrating invention for Linux. It should work like macOS's .app, but it falls short. Getting an app to run and dock always involves tinkering and manually deploying a .desktop item, among other hassles.

I wish I had known about Gear Lever for Gnome earlier. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/07/gear-lever-appimage-app-for-gnome

Gear Lever makes updating AppImage apps much easier. I prefer .deb packages, but too many apps don't offer them.
