In addition to the mentions that this isn’t encrypted, doesn’t have video chat, etc, it’s also difficult to set up with little documentation and an enormous tech stack. They also had some recent controversy about open source licensing that gives me a bit of worry. I decided to go with a self-hosted synapse server.

It’s mildly entertaining at times to scroll through the reviews of the HEIF Image Extension in the Microsoft Store. Microsoft doesn’t care one bit how bad they are.

Around that age, I remember reading The White Mountains, it’s worth considering

Not to mention, the documentation to set it up was awful, it took me months to get it working and I still had problems with the MinIO container so it wouldn’t upload attachments or pictures for profiles. Even getting past that, the stack required more containers added after the fact to support voice chat. I gave up when I saw drama go down last year about how the project wasn’t fully open sourcing.

It doesn’t look like you can draw in your notes, but this looks good! I think I might give it a try.

I really want a FOSS solution for my notetaking, but I feel like I want too much. I love how well OneNote works with my Surface in terms of drawing notes, but I also love writing notes in Markdown and graph structure. I’ve at least been trying out Dendron for the latter, and it’s been alright.

It was definitely Unity on Ubuntu plus Cairo dock that pulled me out of the Mac life way back in the early 10s, so I’m still sad Unity is gone and Lumiri is basically abandoned from the start. But these days I really like Plasma, as someone who considers the Windows 11 UI to look rather clean (gasp!)

Agreed. I remember enjoying their workshop videos a long time ago, but they can’t even be trusted for PC building info, much less anything else.
