Pffft, killing football in Italy is as impossible as killing baseball in the US. Italians will go extinct before their favourite teams.

You can’t really do anything right in this field
I agree with a lot of your points, but this is probably the objectively truest one 🙂
+1 for the GIMP3 excitement, and ×1,000,000 for the YouTube gripe.
Technically the blog author is right. Sure, the social aspects of the web go back to the very first chat rooms, but okay. Let’s set a backstop at web 2.0’s blogs. So what is his point, let’s burn down this new foundation on a technicality before it gets off the ground?
Also technically, “social web” is super imprecise when clearly the organisation is supposed to promote and highlight federated platforms. Sounds like somebody did a super lazy brainstorm without looking up from their belly button to consider this exact fallout.
I have the feeling the same somebody will be on the market for a new domain name pretty soon.
I don’t know what they haven’t linked it
They sort of have, but without a lot of explanation: it’s the self link directly under the “follow us” header. [Edit: in my browser, the link just directs to the main SWF page, because Wordpress’ ActivityPub plugin is still imperfect.] You have to navigate to their contact page to have it formated as a proper ActivityPub address.
All the more reason to !degoogle your devices.
Perhaps your phone has extra aggressive battery saving settings that kill the background process? The official Syncthing has a setting to run as a persistent service, which always helped me.
Otherwise see if you can make system exceptions for the app to run in the background, and allow it to auto-sync. It’s been a while since I used the forked app, buy it did help me out on a device where the official didn’t work for me.
Hope this helps.
who is downvoting me and why?
You’re probably making them feel stupid, people downvote for no good reason. It’s a them problem, not a you one; everybody should check AlternativeTo before asking for recommendations.
Yeah, phone to laptop, and I recently synced all backups and files from an old phone to a new one, too. Once you have the computer setup, you can basically connect phones by reading its QR code.
If the official Syncthing Android app is giving you a hard time, maybe try Syncthing-fork? IIRC that’s only the daemon and web GUI wrapped as an app. But I’ve used the main app only for the past few years.
I’d really recommend giving Syncthing a second chance, twist a few knobs in the settings until it works. I’ve used it for years with barely a hitch.
Sung to the tune of a certain Dead Kennedys song, as covered by Napalm Death.
To quote Life of Brian,
…assuming of course these are people who left the open Fediverse to join another corporate platform.
That’s the kind of reassurance I needed to go ahead. Thanks!
Cool, cool. Will give it a shot when I have a couple hours to install it 👍 Thanks for your help!
One followup question, might be out of your ballpark since you’re happily using Iodé: in their FAQ, they answer the question “Can I uninstall iodéOS and go back to Google Android?” with
Yes you can. Please follow this link [to their installation page 🤔] for iodéOS uninstallation.
Caution : uninstalling iodéOS requires coding skills.
I hope those “coding skills” aren’t more involved than being able to run a couple of adb
and fastboot
commands. Have you seen anything to the contrary, in support forums and similar?
to be clear, I’m not “going back to Google Android”, but I might get adventurous with other custom ROMs.
Uh, okay. Weird use of “uninstallable”, but this is definitely good to hear! I was looking at Calyx that has a suite of apps that will just always be stored on your device whether you install them or not. Glad this isn’t that sort of situation 🙂
Oh, good one! I love a good comparison table, and this one I didn’t know of!
Yeah, I’ve been on LOS/mG for a few years. Sorry if I didn’t make it clear. I’m just wondering if Iodé is a decent replacement or they have too opinionated a setup…
I don’t have anywhere near your experience, but the key points (customizable, no bloat, good wiki) all scream Arch, as you predicted 🙂
I’ve been eyeing Pico, but it doesn’t seem to be super well maintained? Do you know if it’s still active?
