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

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.
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.
To exclude social
Honestly I think it’s weird that people think social media is tech.
The nuanced soft ban you’re talking about is just the topic of the community.
When musk does something tech related that’s tech. When he does something that’s not tech related that’s off topic.
Twitter is a social media website it’s not tech.
Settle down mate.
Yeah but relevant to current tech events? Not that often.
It’s complicated I guess.
Musk offering starlink access to gaza is tech news, him changing subscription prices for xitter is not.
I guess I just mean that a happening is not “tech” by virtue of musk saying it.
Out of curiosity, can I ask what it was that made mastodon click?
I had two or three goes before realising that choosing the right instance can give you an engaging “local” feed. That seems dramatically less important on lemmy though.
No, that’s just how it appears through the advertising revenue model.
Bear in mind this model has been actively developed over the last 20+ years. Imagine of other models enjoyed that kind of attention.
Consumers pay for ads in product costs. Access for poor people is a myth.
IDK who the fuck this guy is but he’s speaking my language.
Fuck the advertising revenue model.
Well, it’s the default way of paying for physical objects and professional services.
It hasn’t really been the default way of paying for online services.
That’s fine, your position is reasonable and I can accept that.
Over the years I’ve become more and more opposed to advertising of any form. It makes me very grumpy - probably unreasonably so.
I understand that services need to make money but $10 / month for something like twitter just seems absurd to me.
Ads are one method of payment, cash is another.
This might be true if the cash payment was equal to the ad revenue per person, but it isn’t.
Ad-revenue per person would be a few cents per month, but even if it were $1 per user month, paying $4 or whatever to remove the ads means the ads are punitive. Pay the subscription or we will drive you nuts with shitty ads.
The whole “pay to avoid ads” model is so weird though.
I think in 2023 parlance the claim is probably plain enough to be “truthful”.
It’s pretty well established that receiving gold on reddit is perks like… a gold star or something, rather than actual real gold.
