do donations need to be truthful in plain terms of how the funds are used ?

I think in 2023 parlance the claim is probably plain enough to be “truthful”.

Giving gold supports the contributors you love

It’s pretty well established that receiving gold on reddit is perks like… a gold star or something, rather than actual real gold.

Would a timeline really provide much benefit over viewing screenshots in a folder?

This one has a calendar:

For me, I often get to Friday afternoon and realise I haven’t recorded my time all week.

Supposed to be billing clients for tasks.

Screen caps every 15 minutes helps me see what I was doing

Sharex auto capture?

I mostly agree with @shadejinx. I would add that when editing the same note on two separate devices syncthing will at least fail kind of gracefully in that you’ll whatever.md will still be there but you’ll see an additional whatever-conflict-hash.md along side it so you can easily fix it up. Synctrayzor for windows will give you a nice notification and UI with which to resolve.

Nextcloud is great but it’s a real behemoth. Loads of stuff you don’t need.

IDK what you mean exactly but I sync between computers and devices just fine.

The thing is, this study is talking about “chiropractic manipulation” which is a very specific thing. (With that clicker thingy I think?) The thing is, chiropractors tend do do lots of different therapies, like stretching and massage. So you could go to a chiropractor who performs some kind of massage which is effective at temporary pain relief.

It doesn’t, but it might be perceived as treatment.

Suppose you ask your GP to make it rain because your garden is dry and they tell you to go away. Then you go to a chiropractor that talks to you about your garden and then performs a complex ritual that takes a half hour or so. 2 days later it rains.

… but you’re aware that the majority of the world is not in fact in the US.

“Well ackshually …”

You forgot one, lead as in cord.

Examples:

• jumper leads
• extension leads

LOL. Sure mate. Keep smelling your own facts and I’ll eat a bag of dicks when … checks notes … the Italian government produces a FOSS browser to compete with Chrome & FF 🤣

Most of this is self referencing. Like the default search engine is not an example of Google’s control, it’s Mozilla’s revenue model.

The remainder sounds like personal gripes that you’re misconstruing as evidence of nefarious intent.

There’s also plenty of evidence to the contrary, total cookie protection to name but one.

Additionally, beurocratic processes produce terrible software. Log in to any govt website as a refresher.

Finally, browsers are incredibly complex, if this model worked you’d use it for much simpler projects first.

IMO a folder of markdown files is the way. Interoperable with so many things.

Sorry you’ve lost me.

We usually lock up murderers to prevent them from harming others. That being the case, I guess you could chat to them about art if you were really interested in that.

That said, if you were trying to prevent future murders of course you’d need to try to understand the murderers perspective.

It’s only pointless if your sole objective is to demonstrate to everyone how right you are about everything.

I think you’ve missed the core point of this whole thread.

You’re also conflating empathy with acquiescence.

Separate knowing is understanding someone’s position logically or factually. Connected knowing requires an understanding of the context.

You can’t reason someone out of an unreasonable position.

Hitting a flat earther with logic and facts will obviously be counter productive. Even a modicum of empathy and curiosity as to why someone thinks the way they do will serve you well.

Conversations are about much more than who is wrong and who is right.

I think some people just don’t have much capacity for connected knowing.

I can tell you’re a very separate knower.

1. Write blog spam with titles like “5 things …”

I don’t really have any more faith in Mercedes than I do with infotainment systems.

I don’t doubt that they have amazing org knowledge around integrating data systems, but how are they with… any of the myriad of other components of operating systems?

First party operating systems always seem to be terrible.
