  The Nextcloud Notes app for Android does have a couple of widgets (note list and an individual note), is there widget that is missing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unshittification: 3 tech companies that recently made my life… better⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Based on their current management model of “desks on wheels” they’d probably be most comfortable becoming a worker-owned coop. I know I’m in dreamland, but it would be amazing if they could go that direction when Gabe is gone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad they clarified. To me the “selling data being defined broadly” argument made sense in the context of Google paying them to be included as a search provider. Because there is an argument that Google paying Firefox, and then the user entering a search and that being sent to Google’s servers could be legally seen as Mozilla selling data to Google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When I first got a Bluesky account, back when it was invite-only a whole bunch of the Physicists and Astronomers I used to follow on Twitter were already there. If anything it seemed like scientists were early adopters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little know fact⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Even as a straight, young boy I was disappointed for her. I vividly remember announcing “but he’s MORE ugly now!” Somehow, none of the conservative, Christian adults in the room liked me saying that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fire your CEO.

  Out of a canon, through some flaming rings, and into an empty bucket of water. If I have to watch a clown-show, at least make it entertaining.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get around the US TikTok ban | Tom's Guide⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you can supposedly make a new account through a browser and using an email (or an international phone # if you have one). But I’ve heard from someone living in Korea, who no longer have a US phone # on their account who is now unable to access their account, because at one time it was associated with a US phone number.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA | Fed chair says he will not resign even if pressured by Trump as interest rate cut⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the stated goals of Project 2025 is dismantling the Federal Reserve, they won’t need to bother with “accidents” if they just shut the whole thing down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Syncthing Android app discontinued⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using Syncthing-Fork (on F-Droid) for the extra features it has. I wonder if that developer will be able to continue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s part of it. Unions also made a difference for a while, until the propaganda machine convinced a bunch of people that Unions were bad. When in reality, Unions are a benefit to everyone, they protect workers from bad bosses, and historically they also protected bosses from getting the shit beat out of them by their employees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the media print rags to riches stories?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have had someone tell me that they’d rather live in an economic system “like we have in America” where people have a chance at rags to riches, than a system “like Germany, where the social safety net means the average person doesn’t have a chance at making it big.”

  If anyone ever tells you wealthy people are intelligent, don’t believe them.
