All in all, obsidian is very successful in nudging some users to a subscription of their cloud sync.

I’d rather pay 25 EUR for an app once and be able to use Dropbox, than subscribe to another service I only use out of convenience.

Mmh, the #syncthing .stfolder inside the #obsidian vault might get deleted on iOS (no idea why) and syncing is not possible anymore until that folder is re-created. Of course, iOS hides hidden (.dot) folders and files so you have either mess with a Linux shell app or use the iOS git client working-copy (costs 25 EUR).

Finally setup möbius sync (#syncthing iOS client) to use #obsidian on my phone. Seems to work well (unfortunately syncthing doesn’t follow junctions/symlinks but neither does Dropbox).

If you charge your phone on the plane, you are actually supply power to the plane.

All Microsoft365 coaches seem to be UK-based. (According to the anecdotal evidence I found on YouTube, watching videos about MS Loop, the Notion clone)

One AirPod didn’t work, I googled and got 5000 articles, all saying the same: restart phone, check out balance slider, clean the mesh thingie. Nothing!
Somewhere in between is a Reddit thread with one user saying “it’s gross, but suck on it” - it worked!

@dfyx @Paxxi @finestructure

There are many sites that don’t need cookie banners at all, but people slap it on because they know there has to be something there, even if they don’t use 3rd party marketing/trackers anywhere on their site.

@argv_minus_one @itisiboller @finestructure

The cookie that remembers the cookie choice is important too :)

@grmpyprogrammer ...and video game/bro-gramming/youtube streamers and "video content" creators.

These days, a #podcast​ should only be offered as a 15 MB #opus file. But there are 100 MB 320 kbps MP3s out there, and it sucks, and it's a waste of electricity, storage space and data volume! (Opus might need more energy to de/encode, compared to MP3, but just for saving data downloading a show out in the boonies it already wins)

I like web dev, programming related #podcast​​s and even some YouTube channels. What I don't understand is, why a podcast needs to become a YouTube show, just to watch the two dude-bros in HD, wearing beanies inside the house and mouth-blog the same stuff they were mouth-blogging the years before. This is a waste of electricity on everyone's end. But I get it, they have to create "content" for sentry, that then gets littered all over the internet. Also soyface thumbnail alert! #Blocked !

Every damn #app iterates from a pro version that you pay for, to get some extra features, to a pro plus version, to a premium version to a premium pro plus plus version and so on. Airlines go the other way Economy as the cheapest option got degraded to Economy Basic which will be stripped of even more commodities as Economy Basic Minus.
Fun times!

Installed #BeReal out of curiosity. Came to the conclusion that 45 year old men should get their selfie camera disabled.

@davatron5000 @nikitonsky

Kind of feels true for iOS apps as well.
Gmail: almost half a gigabyte
Outlook 300 MB
Google translate 180 MB
My banking app almost half a gigabyte (I think they bundling the videos for their „stories“)
Bluesky only 35 MB
Twitter 235 MB
Icecube (mastodon client) 63 MB

Don’t know anything about app development for iOS but I assume libraries are likely to bloat app sizes as well.
Web wrappers seem to be lighter (which speaks for PWAs)
