  The way apple is now, you would only be able to print (wirelessly) through Apple products. And probably also DRM ink cartridges on a “security” basis.

  Old Apple is not the same as current Apple.

  Can also check out Nextcloud. Yes, its more overkill than just calendar and contact sync but its not that hard to set up and self-host. It has an interface for you to fix your calendar and contacts graphically and works well with DAVx5.

  I think you’ll be OK but there will be a slightly learning curve since it is a different OS. As for documents make sure they work well with either LibreOffice or OnlyOffice, which should be available on other OSes. There are also always online office suites if needed.

  If you have a spare flash drive, you can also test out Linux distros (flavors) before installing them in a live mode, like a demo.

  Best of luck.

  To the Alexa interface?

  Just finished Alan Wake. Not what I expected from the game but overall interesting. Somewhat like the idea of making it like a TV Show. Short but story was decent.

  “… do not ,and will not … operate any programs that advance or promote DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion], or discriminatory equity ideology…”

  Aren’t these contradictory?

  Can’t you just put the shorthand words you want in a personal dictionary? That worked for me. Able to type words not in the default dictionary without autocorrecting.

  It does, if you are willing to use the google binaries. It’s on their github page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich mobile app sync V2⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t really comment on the older versions since I recently deployed the server. However from the past couple of updates, the background syncing has improved on the Android version. Before I had to open the app for it to sync but recent updates now upload media without me having to open the app.

  For the app itself, works pretty well. There still seems to be bugs or weird UI changes like adding to albums disappeared when you click a photo or video but its there on the grid view if you hold the file.
