wtf? Can you comment on the Insync Forums thread please?

Thank you!

Yes but it is by me :) https://forums.insynchq.com/t/extension-added-to-files-based...

Yes but latest Insync adds xml suffix to files with xml contents. To keep feature parity to Google Drive Web downloads, they say. Duh! :(

It did. Recent versions add the suffix xml to files with xml contents, unfortunately.

Both companies still do good products though — they just aren’t marketing themselves well, I guess.

Evernote support sucks though. Last version has two annoying bugs which still haven’t been fixed since Christmas. But Notion is slooow and Nimbus Notes feels buggy —- I have hit sync bugs in the past and can get 50x errors from server easily, in addition to a random error about the slave being read-only. Both auto-fixed in 5 mins but still...

Everytime I sync something big (many files, many dirs) with Onedrive I feel the urge to check on the website of everything arrived. I don’t trust the UI, and neither this guy [1]. I am a bit more at ease with Google Drive - I use Insync - until I found out Insync was appending the suffix xml to files with xml contents. Insync with OneDrive requires more testing - could be a good replacement but I must do more testing to see if the refusal to sync certain file types like PST and ONE [1] also exists.

GDrive has no SmartSync for ‘regular’ users and 3rd party solutions have quirks.

* Insync adds xml suffix to files with xml contents.

* Expandrive borks file editing sometimes (happened twice - it was enough to move to Dropbox)

I still use Google Consumer Storage though, thanks to Google Photos. Can’t get rid of it, nothing better feature, simplicity and maintenance wise.

Are you sure OneDrive works well? Can you sync PST files? [1] https://www.eejournal.com/article/onedrive-down-the-road-to-...

If you have NextDNS just enable Handshake in settings.

Tesseract? The page does not refer OCR anywhere, neither does it appear on its issues.

Ok the Electron part was from HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22773785

Hum I may have misunderstood the model. I was thinking of this, but there is no mention of Electron anywhere on the docs. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mspoweruser.com/windows-10-2004...

And I can't seem to find it. As soon as I do I'll post here for you to double check, I may have misunderstood.

For Windows Chredge/Edgium is planned to support that via Microsoft’s something-something API which allows to declare Electronesque-mode for a app and get independent updates to the common Electron layer (and hopefully, reduce memory usage). I don’t recall if such is only available via Windows Store or is only dependent on APPX (which correlates but does not depend on Windows Store - at least not on the server side of it)

I certainly hope not. Why bother with the double QA if the encryption backdoor is perfectly safe?

That directories reappear empty thingie was an sync engine issue, I believe. It was fixed in latest sync engine update (though this issue was never mentioned, it stopped happening).

Regarding the parent poster, on Windows Smart Sync is enabled and, while extremely useful (and better that Onedrive’s equivalent IMO), it did cause issues in the past. Since it seems to work as a file filter, it can cause some issues. That being said, I haven’t seen those in a while.

I am pretty sure this just happened because the US hasn’t yet implemented encryption backdoors.

If you use Insync you have the option of converting to DOCX or ODT. Insync has other issues though, my "sourcetreeconfig" is being downloaded as "sourcetreeconfig.xml".

Pfizer? Side-effects?

Beware multiple options are possible

The decision process on Brave Today sounds to be (mainly?) local.

You need the filtering processing to be local and visible but you can't win the fight by avoiding all filtering.

IMO what makes sense is manually curated sources for your knowledge area and the rest machine-picked for you to read and retain a general knowledge of the world.

I agree 45% with your take.

However, in defense of US citizens, the truth was always IMO this one: «You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else -- Winston Churchill»

DRM on YouTube would block that. As well as Webbundles.

Yes... Yes... Join the Dark Side...

Honestly, it too too long. Should have been sooner, before other YouTube competitors slided into irrelevance.

"Dumping", anyone?

Git is different from TFS/SVN. I wonder if Bitkeeper and other DCVS solved the user friendliness part. Not every programmer nowadays is a greybeard, nor do they need to be. If Git can be made easier to use without displeasing greybeards, it should (or: please don't make it into a useless toy).

That being said, I think Git's command-line is becoming simpler -- I don't use GUIs since SourceTree failed to make me notice I was in the middle of a merge.

Yes. Take it all down. The system is working as intended, killing the Golden Goose. Now if someone would just create a playlist called DMCA-proof songs.... :)

They’ll never do it.

They just keep making stuff not private so you have to choose between security versus privacy.

A well thought system would be able to provide both.

Check server certificate OCSP first, send subsequent queries via SSL.

I hope so. But we have to be vigilant: “Big Tech's aggressive EU lobby caused a shift in power” [1]

What's the URL for Qt6 open-source code?

  Open source software is more than a license and code.

Nope. You are thinking "Free Software". "Open Source" is "just" that: a legal license which may or may not have ethical considerations and fuzzy feelings.
