This is me too. I’m still on Facebook for some family contacts and a couple of useful groups. Years ago I could spend hours a day there. Now I spend maybe 15-30 minutes each morning scrolling for friend/family updates and group content - and hitting “Hide all from …” on every single bit of unsolicited content. I was reporting and blocking them, but I’ve decided it probably doesn’t achieve anything and it was too many taps/clicks.

Instagram is similar - I used to spend hours there too but now I only go to check if there’s progress on one car build I’m following and scroll for maybe 5-10 minutes and I’m out for the day.

Which is really really sad. When I was younger I used to think we just need these old people to age out of the system and my generation can do things better. We seem to be doing significantly worse.

This isn’t a generational thing. For a start, he’s technically Gen X, not a boomer. And secondly, I’m older than him and I’m just as happy about that as everyone else.

I understand the downvotes you’re getting, but this take isn’t far off the level of cynicism I’m feeling now.

I’d be curious to know what the people downvoting this don’t agree with?

Almost a chuckle

I must be old - it’s WordPerfect to me.

So, it sounds like this isn’t expected behaviour? Now that I’ve gone looking for examples, I can’t find any. Maybe there was some temporary problems yesterday…

Once an end-to-end, encrypted, connection is established between a pair of peers then anything can be sent through it. The establishment proces is generally facilitated by a server of some description so neither peer needs to allow inbound connections. (I’m a long, long way from being an expert on this and happy to be corrected - but this seems like network fundamentals?)

I thought I was doing well with 8 down and 20 up! In my defence - a lot of the stuff I’m seeding is old (10+ years) and I’m the only seed.

Agree the editing looks good, but I don’t feel the template fits. I don’t think the orange one is capable of the realisation and self reflection depicted in the last panel.

I’m really dismayed by your political system - I can’t put into words how much it disturbs me. I know it’s a good thing that the Harris Walz campaign is doing well, but all I hear when seeing news like this is how much money politicians are taking from “average” people to give to insanely rich advertising firms, to develop ads, and even more insanely rich media corporations, to run them. It’s messed up.

Wow, that brings back memories. Slackware 3.x was my into to Linux in the '90s.

No, I didn’t.

I feel this should be a Lemmy capability and not client specific? I’d like to see it too - I feel like I’m somehow disrespecting all these interesting looking communities just because I can’t understand the language.

But there’s no future profit for Sonos in them providing the ability for us to play music we already own from our own library.

There was an unofficial option for rollback - I’m on Android so I went to apkmirror and downloaded the last good version and turned off auto update. This worked for a while, but then they forced me to update - it literally said I had to update to continue using. I’ve seen someone say this wasn’t actually a forced update, but rather keeping all the parts of your network in sync. I have one Sonos device and my phone is the only things that connects to it??

My issue was specifically the windows sync client - not server or web related. I turned on debug in the client and watched the logs and saw it making stupid (IMHO) decisions about speed throttling.

I’m in a similar situation - I’m a (retired) Unix admin and have Linux servers at home but I’m still on windows for my desktop because of OneDrive. If you use it as intended, it works really well. I can login to my laptop, my phone or either of my wife’s PC’s and all my stuff is just there.

Yes, I’ve tried nextcloud and it’s close, but the windows sync client is (was?) broken - the upload speed throttling logic is broken and it was going to take ages to sync my data. I went to the nextcloud community and it seemed to be a known issue that know one cares about because the sync just happens in the background and it’s done when it’s done.

As I typed this I realised that if I move to Linux desktop I don’t care about the windows sync client :-) So now I’ve just got the issue that I won’t get my wife off windows and if we’re paying for 5TB of cloud storage, I might as well use it. Yes, I know there are ways to use OneDrive on Linux, but it doesn’t look as seamless and I’d be always concerned that Microsoft will do something to break it.
