  • NextCloud being so slow forced me to migrate to Seafile.

    Seafile being less one-stop-shoppy made me not use it so much, but whenever I do it is always fast and responsive (unlike nextcloud, where 80% of the time I was looking at the loading indicator). Looking it up now though, it looks like it has a lot of new features I haven’t yet tried so I’m probably gonna start using it more now.

    Only downside with Seafile is it’s deduplication (for me), because it stops me from easily accessing files directly (always gotta use a client). Likely a benefit for most though and I do rarely need to access a file directly on disk, just when I do, it’d be an easy shortcut for whatever I’m doing.






  • I have no source, but I remember seeing a graph of where iPhones sell and places like China/India were 80% android phones (mostly Samsung I think).

    I don’t think the asian marketplace puts Apple products in such high regard as the US.

    Samsung phones are still premium, I think they appeal more in other countries.

    I see what you mean though with 20% of just China being almost the US population, but they are still losing 300m customers.







  • I just used Nestlé and slaves as an example. Feel free to change the company name and reason to anything else. My point is just that any company doing anything bad enough should stop you from supporting them.

    Most people don’t care enough about doing this (me included at times), which is sort of how (one reason) we’ve ended up with these massive companies that can do whatever they want. It sucks to say but if Nestlé went out of business and 10k people lost their jobs, it’s probably a net good for the planet when the next good company takes lead (good as in pays and treats employees fairly, etc). This outcome sounds better than letting them run free as we do now.

    In reality if we were able to hurt a companies bottom line enough, like Nestlé, jobs might not be lost, because they may actually change and become better to the point where we can buy their shiz again.
