Oh, I'll take a look at those plugins.
IMO Obsidian is already a little rogue, in the sense that it only supports their sync. I know you can glue something together by syncing the folder itself, but that's not convenient or the point. For now I'll stick with Joplin because it works with nextcloud nicely.
It works about the same as any other app's group invite link. It can be set to automatically add the person or be treated as a request to join that needs approval.
Honestly I looked at your comments and they're all just aggressive, and I was genuinely wondering why. You're not trying to share info, and you're not trying to convince anyone of anything. What's the point? Is this helpful to you? It just seems like you're upsetting yourself.
EDIT: Actually, I take that back partially. You are sharing links. On my mobile app I only saw your comments, not your posts.
I think it's fair to say that secure ways to communicate have largely scaled with our social circles. Without writing you can't keep in touch at a distance anyway.
It can't be ruled out from that picture.
What do you use now?
I mean google's whims as in they're making decisions on their own and everyone else just has to go with it. I'd rather these problems were solved collectively.
I think it's a little silly to define extinguish as literally destroyed. I think of it as a permanent wound. With XMPP, the belief by people that both networks would inter-operate and the subsequent change left a permanent wound on XMPP adoption. I'm not sure how things would've gone otherwise, and I'm equally skeptical of the people holding onto that as the sole reason for XMPP's failures, but it certainly was an inflection point for them.
To the email point, it's actually much more difficult to set up your own email than it used to be, exactly because google servers will not accept email from unknown providers that don't meet their own standards. It didn't extinguish email, true, but it did help centralize it around a handful of providers that can keep up to date with google's whims to get reliable deliverability.
First two directors I used to be into but no longer:
I loved Tarantino's work but I feel that I've "outgrown" it. I'm just not that interested in ultraviolence anymore.
Similarly, big fan of Wes Anderson, especially Moonrise Kingdom, but the incredible whiteness (both in cast and settings) of the majority of his movies has me longing for something more diverse (again, in both literal casting and in thematic backgrounds).
And now, who I'm still excited for:
DANIELS - I really enjoyed Swiss Army Man, tho it was flawed. I was hyped for Everything Everywhere and it delivered and then some. Can't wait to see what they do next if that was just their second one.
Makoto Shinkai - All of his work is so achingly beautiful. Love it.
Jordan Peele - Loved Get Out of course. Us was interesting but didn't stick as much. Even NOPE was flawed but still very unique and intriguing. I want to see what else he has.
Ari Aster - Hereditary was good, and Midsommar was amazing. I heard very little at all about Beau is Afraid (which is almost worse than hearing bad things), and I haven't seen it yet. Still intrigued to see what's next.
