Alternatives to Google Docs/sheets?

What are people using in place of Google docs/sheets/etc? I'm looking for a simple program that syncs with the cloud so I can access my documents on my different computers or my Android phone. I run Windows 10 (don't crucify me). I use libre office for things that can stay on one computer, but for things like school notes,...

The privacy is not about protecting your data from crawlers, it's about protecting your data from big tech.

Visa Adds New Way To Share Customer Shopping Data With Retailers (www.businesswire.com)

Visa is rolling out new technology that will allow the payments giant to share more information about customers' preferences [non-paywalled source] based on their shopping history with retailers as it seeks to remain a top player in the competitive e-commerce space. From a report:...

Or cash, as if you buy gift cards and they go bust, they owe you money, but you'll be well down the list and never see it again.

CrypticCoffee ,

For anonymous payment?

CrypticCoffee ,

Sorry, no issues... Manjaro?

I cannot visualize 6 months without it breaking on update.

Is JMP.chat expensive? Are there any alternatives? (lemm.ee)

I've been using this phone number from JMP.chat and I've barely used it for much of anything (Started February 27th, 2024), and somehow its telling me I need $35? I tried out their service plan but it was way too expensive. I only bought it once and took off my credit card after because auto pay kept auto depositing money into...

Maybe I'm being dumb here, but what is this and why would I use it over Signal or Matrix?

What about it justifies payment?

CrypticCoffee ,

Ah, appreciate the clarification.

If your payment is linked to the number, is it any more private than a PAYG number?

CrypticCoffee ,

This is pretty useful. Is there anything for UK based folk?

Why does this feel lie a viral marketing campaign to get people to watch stuff on X?

"I interviewed Elon, got cancelled and he mad. Watch on X". It just doesn't add up to me.

Edit: It's not on X, apparently. It's on YouTube. So I was probably a little out on this. Very clever viral marketing still, but hopefully not to the benefit of X.

CrypticCoffee ,

Ah, apreciate the clarification.

CrypticCoffee ,

Interesting project and good luck on this.

Did you not consider something like Codeberg to host this? Many open source devs do not trust MS or their stewardship of Github, and considering the aim of this project is against American control of information, surely this really needs serious consideration.

Many open source devs do not want to use Github at all now.

They sunset Atom to push VS code despite assurances they wouldn't.

Co-pilot slurping open source code and spitting out code without license attribution. One example of this was when it spat out Quake 2 code and comment verbatim.

Enshittification started, you just ain't ready to see it yet. MS has a track record and will continue.

2 git hosts is just 2 tabs and by the time federation happens, you've already got vendor lock in because of all the issues. I doubt migration of those will be straightforward.

The moment you collect data, it can be abused. To stop abuse, we must stop data being collected.

This wouldn't be illegal in the UK or many countries. Age of consent is 16 here. From what I've read, USA is an outlier that infantises young adults to impose mortality.

Always weird because the music videos exported by the US are often soft porn and the music industry has a thing for barely legal girls.

CrypticCoffee ,

Out of curiosity, where are you from?

CrypticCoffee ,

Ah cool. I do like that Lemmy feels more distributed than Reddit. Too many Americans on it.

CrypticCoffee ,

I couldn't get OBS working on OpenSuse with Wayland. Works on x11.

"A key question in the case was how the message got out, considering Snapchat is an encrypted app.

One theory, raised in the trial, was that it could have been intercepted via Gatwick's Wi-Fi network. But a spokesperson for the airport told BBC News that its network "does not have that capability".

In the judge's resolution, cited by the Europa Press news agency, it was said that the message, "for unknown reasons, was captured by the security mechanisms of England when the plane was flying over French airspace"."

I think we need to get over the issue of stock assets. Not everyone is artists and games take years to make. Games with stock assets that have put time and love into mechanics shouldn't be punished. AI is a different discussion entirely of course.

Stock assets do not mean asset flip. Asset flips are such because the game and systems are primitive with very little effort taken.

CrypticCoffee ,

Fair point. Appreciate the clarification.

CrypticCoffee ,

Try cassette beasts. Definitely scratches that itch. A great indie game.

CrypticCoffee ,

You're welcome. Enjoy!
