If there’s housing affordability or availability issues in your area and you oppose what sounds like pretty reasonable higher-density housing (6 stories is basically the minimum for new apartment buildings in my city) I’m afraid to say you’re a NIMBY.
What do you mean by “out of scale”? It’s sounding an awful lot like “it ruins the character of the neighbourhood” which is the catchphrase of NIMBYs everywhere. If you had concerns about whether the existing infrastructure in your neighbourhood can support higher-density housing, I suspect you’d just say that rather than vaguely suggesting the new developments are “out of scale”.
I don’t mean to be rude, I appreciate you having these reflections, and I’m all ears if you care to elaborate further than “out of scale”. However, with the information you’ve shared so far you’re very much coming off as a NIMBY.
That sounds absolutely reasonable and the sort of mixed density cities should aim towards. If you never build any apartment buildings except in close proximity to existing apartment buildings, how did the first apartment building in your city come to be?
Again, do you have an actual issue with these developments? How does these developments being larger than the surrounding buildings affect you in any way?
I’m trying to move away from Authy since they’re ending support for their desktop app, and I thought Aegis would be the right app for me to jump to, but it doesn’t seem to have a desktop app. So I’m wondering what FOSS apps the rest of you use for Desktop and Mobile 2FA?
Are you joking? That seems ridiculously low to me. That’s barely 300 metres per day. I walk more than that just pacing around my apartment on a typical day. I actually can’t even envision what a life with so little walking would look like.
I’ve been using manjaro for a couple of years and I really like it. especially the wide variety of packages available. Recently been using https://github.com/Jguer/yay to find/install....
Would be interesting if there was a script that could audit the licenses being used by all the installed applications
This thread is hurting my brain, but if I understand correctly maybe absolutely-proprietary is the kind of thing you’re looking for? It checks your installed packages against a list of proprietary packages and suggests libre alternatives if they exist.
Have you considered the possibility that the majority of people are shitty and/or psychopaths?
Like most people will hear about companies using child slaves in impoverished countries and the biggest reaction is what, a boycott? Even that’s a minority of people, most just keep on truckin’ as if we don’t live in a disgusting fucked up world.
When’s the last time you heard about that Apple factory where people were regularly committing suicide? Why does Nestlé still exist despite widespread public knowledge of all the horrible shit they’ve pulled?
Did they say “Fuck Israelis”? You have to be either really thin-skinned to take offense to “Fuck insert country here”, or you support the thing that’s being criticized (which in this case is genocide).
Like, I’m Canadian, and when First Nations people say “Fuck Canada” because of the centuries of oppression and genocide they’ve faced, I don’t take personal offense because I do not support the genocide of First Nations people. They’re right, fuck Canada.
You can run commands, so systemctl poweroff should work to turn off your computer (on Linux, not sure how KDE Connect works on Windows, but I’d assume there’s an equivalent)
I didn’t have a phone until I was 16 despite most of my peers getting one around 12/13. I didn’t get bullied for not having a phone, in fact no one really made any comments on it other than an occasional “wow, I couldn’t live without my phone!”
Granted, this was over ten years ago, and was probably the first generation of teenagers where cell phones were near-ubiquitous. I don’t know if kids nowadays would get bullied just for not having a phone, but it would severely limit their social interactions. Riding your bike and knocking at your friends’ doors randomly, or going to the mall and expecting you’ll find some people you know there, these are from a bygone era.

Do you drink the cereal-flavored milk straight from the bowl? I grew up doing this because my parents taught me how good that milk tastes. As I’ve gotten older, I feel a little self-conscious about doing it in public. It’s not something I notice other non-children doing....
I’m just sitting here trying to figure out if I’ve ever eaten cereal in public.
I guess maybe in a hotel that offered “free continental breakfast”? If I did make a habit of eating cereal in public, I can’t say I’d have a second thought before picking up my bowl and drinking the (oat) milk leftover. Do some people not do this? What do they do, throw it away? Scoop milk into their mouths with a spoon?
Life’s too short to be self-conscious about how you eat cereal.
I type things in for her because she’s a really bad typist, but she tells me what to write…
At the risk of being that asshole who tells a parent how to raise their child based off a single post online, how do you expect her to become a better typist if you do it for her? She’s 13, she’s probably not gonna be that good at anything, she’s at the age where she’s supposed to be learning things (and that includes skills like typing).
Maybe I’m just projecting my own parents’ shortcomings onto you, but they often just did things for me instead of helping me learn. I think I would be a better, more well-rounded human today if they had pushed me to be a bit more independent. I’m sure you’re doing this out of love for your daughter, but I think you might not be doing her any favours by doing a portion of the work yourself. If she decides to pursue post-secondary education, are you still going to type her essays for her? What about if she gets a job that involves typing?

The media coverage of the current surge in right-wing attacks on the queer community is so fucking frustrating to me.
Is this really the level of analysis we’re at after a year filled with protests against our rights and our legislators enacting laws and policies to appease the right-wing assholes?
“Right-wing extremist homophobes and transphobes could inspire violence against the 2SLGBTQIA+ community”, like no fucking shit. You don’t need “experts” from CSIS to tell you that, ask literally any queer person. These people are trying to convince people that all queers are paedophiles for fucks sake.
I saw an article the other day that said “anti-trans laws hurt the queer community”. Wow, such journalism, I’m glad someone was there to tell me that fascist legislation drafted specifically to oppress trans people would hurt the queer community!
We’re gonna start putting people in concentration camps and the news is just gonna be like “Putting trans people in gas chambers could inspire and encourage their deaths”.

A quick search led me to Passbolt which has multiple user support, native installs for both Debian and Fedora (you’ll need to add their repo manually, though) and an Android app, so it seems to fit all your criteria.
Just curious, are there any specific reasons you wish to avoid docker?
