- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 17 hours ago:
It’s awesome that you don’t have to remember what software you’re using underneath. I looked into it before I installed it, but I’d have to check which one I went with. I also have no idea what graphics card I’m using, which headset I’m using, what brand of eyeglass cleaner I’m using etc. I looked into it at the time, made a choice and promptly forgot about why and filled my brain with other things.
If I remembered which database I was running it means that I’d have enough problems with it that I’d look at it a lot.

Not a bad idea actually, thank you

Most of my friends don’t check Facebook, they just use Messenger, but I’ll do that too

I just this month realized that I really really really miss the ability to set a status like "On vacation, will reply on [date]. On Facebook Messenger I can set a status for at most 24 hours, anything beyond that is obviously not necessary… I wanted to put a message telling people I don’t use it anymore and yo contact me on [phone number]

I thought so too, but over the years I have migrated so much of my life away from apps in order to see if it’s possible and apart from games I find that with a browser and an email client I don’t really need apps. Still use apps though, they are way more convenient.
Banking is tedious without apps, but works with browser and an MFA-dongle in my country.

I have the PinePhone Pro in a drawer somewhere. It’s just a fun toy, not even remotely usable as a daily driver. But I might have a look at it again and see how many tasks still remains before I could theoretically use Mobian as a daily driver.

I worked at IKEA as a teenager and some summers ad a student. We spend most of the down time and breaks discussing where we would like to study and which jobs we had applied to. My manager was very encouraging and helpful at suggesting fields to study/work at.
The wasn’t hell or anything, just super uninspired and boring.

I buy my music on Bandcamp and Qobuz and put it on my Jellyfin server. It’s great! Also I don’t need 10.000 songs at once so it’s not really that expensive, I end up paying a little more a month now than for streaming, but I build up a library of music I actually like and don’t have to think about losing it when yhe service get shit.

You can also buy music on Qobuz, I use it together with Bandcamp to get more coverage.

Had the same issue, but between Bandcamp and Qobuz I find I’m not lacking much. Since I’m buying the songs anyway I don’t care too much about having multiple apps for my music.

I find that it’s really easy to find new artists and albums I like on Bandcamp. I just started by following a few genres and listen to a some music at random. If I like it I add it to my whislist and carry on. And I just listen to the “new and hot” section. Gives way better results and more variety than Spotify ever did for me.
From time to time I go to my whislist and listen to some of it again and usually decide to either buy the album or delete it from my whislist.
I also use Qobuz for more mainstream artists that’s not on Bandcamp.
Recently started to put all my purchases into Jellyfin for easier management between the services.
I also have a few pirated playlists of my favorite songs from years ago. I go through them when I have time and money and see if I like the songs enough to buy some albums or songs from the artists.

I hear so many people praise paying with their phones, and there I am, so happy that I can leave my phone at home when shopping. Each to their own I guess.

In Norway we use Facebook Messenger, which is worse. Wattsapp’s at least usable as a messaging platform for more than 1-to-1 communication

Yes, I used web sockets for Signal for a while. It drained 30% of my battery when the phone sat idle for a day. Absolutely bonkers. Made the phone almost unusable so had to revert to FCM or disable notifications.

I think thats exactly it. A lot of the people begrudgingly have a PC. I bet most of those just use whatever the PC came with. Linux and Mac users are more likely to enjoy using a PC.

Apparently Linux have 20% market share in Norway. That is… I don’t really believe it, but really cool if true.
