@daeh I found Nextcloud with Davdroid to be OK at best. I've since moved to Fastmail. I still use Davdroid for my contacts syncing, but my mail and cal is done via their app.

@ChrisWere @jason @mike @thelinuxgamer MY GOD THAT'S QUICK!

@ChrisWere @jason @mike @thelinuxgamer I have a better idea...

Let's settle it with a "who can boot their Windows machine the fastest" competition. Oh...wait...

@strypey @bleakgrey you know, I've never actually thought of it that way.

@DistroJunkie yes, I would!! 😫😫😫

Joking aside, I know what you mean, I tend to go straight to the local feed nowadays, rather than my follow feed.

I have to say, I am very proud of this community; everyone is just so damn cool!

@fatboy I doubt it though, as 403 means that access to the page is forbidden.

@fatboy ah. Maybe they're having problems then.

@fatboy test

@fatboy I assume registration is closed since I got a 403 on the register page.

@aadilayub what book is it?

@poetgrant apparently it was a failed hard drive, so because the reporting was "poor" in Linux, she didn't like it.

@wasbeer having something that "just works" is circumstantial I think. What "just works" for me may not work for you and vice versa.

I agree, people _should_ use FOSS where possible, but tangentially, is saying "you should do this" also imposing on that person's freedom? I dunno, it's an interesting debate.

Funny you mention Gentoo, I've been thinking about giving "Linux from scratch" a go, just got laughs...in a VM of course. 😁

@Qwxlea or nano vs vi!

I get what you're saying, and I can certainly see why people have that opinion. 👍

Full disclosure - @popey gets a mention in the article, but it's purely anecdotal. He was the first name that popped in to my head. 🙂

I just published my first article to the Fosstodon Hub community blog - Do you have to use an Open Source OS to be a FOSS contributor?

Ditto what @mike said. 😊

@vinzv I believe there is. Apparently we can go on to the local library and borrow eBooks. Although I'm not entirely sure how that process works yet.

@LibertyPaulM

@sproid woah! That's awesome. Thank you!

@LibertyPaulM @kevinbeynon

@LibertyPaulM thanks!
