I looked a bit more in detail and I'm impressed. I found: - "with translation costs being the majority of Nuenki's subscription price." Thus my price critic was not very appropriate - https://nuenki.app/blog/llm_translation_comparison (Which LLMs are best at low-latency translation?) Cool table!

Looks not bad but a) billing/prices should imho be prominent and not hidden behind trial or get started. And b) not sure if 5/12/20 per month is not too much? The About section is nice. (I use two other paid language services, thus no need/interest in another)

Better than nothing...

With AIO upgrade is a piece of cake. -- For us, Nextcloud is a godsend, some things could be improved, true, but they are improving; we are more than grateful for this comprehensive software. Much less hassle (and even less expensive) than Microsoft before.

Wow that looks cool. Thanks for the mention!

It's beautiful! -- Cool that Chris Wanstrath gives massive support to this project (financial and (most likely) time).

:-)

I was right to dump Firefox for Brave...

I use it (there are always trade-offs). It's by far the best and most convenient browser for me, I run it on all my devices.

What are you using instead?

A note regarding your last point:

  - Google Play is sandboxed [1], you have (important) privacy advantages
  - with a second account for banking apps (or in your example) uber, lyft, one can nicely separate "google-play-apps" from free apps, account switching is fast

yes, and: Limits to Growth. It was known in 1972. The number of people is too large. Much too large. But what can we do (nothing?)

Patch quickly!

True. I don't know of any other "holistic" project that we could have choosen instead of Nextcloud. One very very important point is the AIO installation method. So easy and no fear to have forgotten something important. -- You saved us from Google (no way) and Microsoft365 (a possibility), thank you!

What is an ultra-cheap tiny server? Maybe a CX21 (6.37 €/mth) at https://www.hetzner.com/de/cloud would fit. There are Docker images and you only need to install the NextCloud AIO. Super simple. Upgrade is also simple (we only did it once and it went through perfectly).

Syncthing is nice but file-sync-only.

If I only would need file sync I'd use Syncthing. But with calendars, adresses, chat, mail, decks, etc. I don't know another solution. Some compromises are necessary: I didn't find e.g. a good note taking app with sharing among members. Chat posts cannot be edited.

So far our AIO based installation worked well enough (with PC, Mac and Android clients). But we do not have a lot of files (yet).

After bad experience with incompetent MS support stuff regarding our (not cheap!) Office retail licenses I also had to manage expectations there: a lot of time wasted, they only wanted to move us to the 365 subscription model, could not help. Somehow I'm not convinced that with MS365 we would have a simple well-arranged flexible system (but just be bound forever).

Nice to hear. After several (abandoned) attempts and installing NC from scratch it seems to me that Nextcloud matures well. I like the focus on hub/groupware. Still some details from time to time which annoy me (and probably could be improved). But in general, Nextcloud is great! And using AIO (all-in-one docker image) it's really simple to install and maintain the server. -- So happy to have a good alternative to the Microsoft365 offerings!!! I do think Roundcube found a good place.

It works well; I use it together with Karabiner such that shortcuts are closer to what I have on Linux and Windows

choco, apt, zypper, MacPorts

I am glad that there are people like Max Howell who write such (for me) great package managers. In opposite to what you write, here in a quote reply he comes across as very friendly: https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-logic-behind-Google-rejectin... PS: if really a lot of Googlers use brew I hope they also generously support the project (do. Apple)

Thanks. Oh, I misunderstood you ;-) and thought you were talking about Brave. I stopped using Firefox quite a while ago and settled on Brave. Some config is needed but it works (very) well for me.

What don't you like?

Have a look at Pop!_OS too.

Norway style means that UK would still have had to allow freedom of movement. If the EU and especially Germany had adapted their (imo insane & ideology driven) immigration politics, I don't think the UK would have left. But in the given situation, what could UK have done?

(nothing)

How can the EU be so unfriendly?

Thank you!

impressive

The former owners of Twitter got 44 billion. Why don't they care about their ex-employees? It's a bit cheap to blame Musk (only).

In Hamburg one has to go to the Wunderland* (everything else is secondary;))

Epson EcoTank printers work well.

Of course the public was (and is!!) the culprit. Only the individual "footprint" is so small that almost nobody does something.

Real structural changes are hard to enforce. There is always something more pressing, just look e.g. at the 100 billion Germany spends on war (how many trees that would give?). As a politician it would be the end of the career if you tried to enforce something really drastic (and so nobody does it, incl. "the greens").
