Jottacloud?

Afaik these types of AI operations (e.g. face detection) can be done on the cheapest devices since years.

Pushing images through local models for classification shouldn’t be really concerning. But I would recommend to take a look at the terms of service and privacy notes.

Any software used by enough people will be targeted.

Nope. That’s not how Signal and E2E encrypted messaging works.

If a government asks Signal for user data they get an almost empty sheet of paper. Search for " what data does signal collect" to confirm that.

If - on the other side - your smartphone is compromised or unlocked there is almost nothing Signal can do to prevent governments from looking into your data. Also it reads like some agents simply joined a group chat. Again: nothing Signal could prevent.

I went with Jottacloud for pure file storage.

If you need some online office functions, nextcloud could be a good solution. But then again there are companies like mailbox or ksuite which, which might offer well integrated solutions.

If the vibes keep on deteriorating and there would be a crackdown on messengers and signaling infrastructure a messenger is the last of your worries.

And if Signal gets specifically targeted, there will be warning signs and time to shift away.

Out of curiosity would matrix work for you?

Die Marsatmosphäre besteht zu ca. 95–96 % aus Kohlendioxid (CO2) ist jedoch extrem dünn (nur etwa 0,6 % des irdischen Luftdrucks). CO2 ist der Hauptbestandteil, bildet saisonale Polkappen und gefriert zu Eiswolken.

Im Artikel steht auch, dass sie 100.000 Neumitglieder in der Zeit haben.

You are right. How odd.

Would suggest Linux Mint

Messages get re-synced from other instances, even though you want them to be gone. Meaning uncontrolled rise of storage consumption.

Aber meinst Du nicht, dass davon auch viel gesoffen wird?

Bin nicht ganz im Thema Finanzausgleich drin, aber: heißt das dann auch Bayern will seinen fairen Anteil bei den Erneuerbaren beitragen und auch den Nord-Süd-Link als Hauptnutznießer finanzieren? Oder picken wir nur Rosinen?

Edit: Eine kleine Recherche zeigt, dass die drei Bundesländer seit 1995, spätestens seit 2000 die größten Nettozahler in der Solidargemeinschaft sind. Staatliche oder internationale Subventionen (für Landwirtschaft oder Wirtschaft) gleichen die Last nicht aus. Bayern hat bis in die 80er Jahre selber vom Finanzausgleich profitiert.

I was fine buying it, too. Now, I bet they will integrate it into their online services in order to have people hooked up.

I used Affinity on Mac and Windows. It was the affordable, well-thought-out, performant Photoshop competitor and is now free to use (with a Canva account). Some folks got it running with wine and there is an easy to use appimage ( see articlke )/

I got it running easily, but didn’t test it fully, yet.

Self-hosted and bridged: half a year.

I quit that experiment and registered an account at a generic instance. Needless to say: it is only me and some public rooms.

None of my peers engages me there. They really don’t want to waste time with registration, backup keys, and concepts.

Holy fu**. Wie kaputt kann man sein?

Affinity

Someone just recently managed to get it going.
