Here’s a tutorial for mastodon https://carlschwan.eu/2020/12/29/adding-comments-to-your-static-blog-with-mastodon/

The poll did not ask specifically for self-hosted instances. You know you can buy hosted Nextclouds where the service provider hopefully cares for that stuff? So customers wouldn’t know which database they use. I don’t know which database my mail provider uses ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s different though, you swipe to get to the other characters instead of clicking the button more often. T9 was awesome in its time, but it also kind of relies on a dictionary, like the swiping on “standard” smartphone keyboards. In ThumbKey you type every single character, but it is fast, if you internalize the layout.

ThumbKey made the difference for me. Completely new way to define touchscreen keyboards, but after some months now, I can type blindly on a touchscreen 👍. Caveat: in the beginning typing will be very, very slow.

Family is happy with Matrix (Synapse) and Element as clients. Have members with iOS and Android, smooth experience for all users. But, to be fair, I do have easy users: they basically just send texts, emojis and an occasional picture.

I did not like the admin side of things too much so far, but I recently migrated to a Docker setup, which seems easier to maintain.

They could now, because big “AI” companies sell their product on a loss.

The individual programmer is already outpriced when it comes to training those kind of models themselves. Once the companies want to turn a profit, the just laid off worker is outpriced as well. If an LLM can really do as good as a human programmer, who costs 70-100k, nothing stops the LLM provider to charge 35-50k easily. Try to augment your productivity at that price point, especially without a job.

I mean, society came through the change of the first and second work sector, we could reap the new productivity gains for the benefit of all, but, alas here we are at the beginning of a new crisis 😅

Years ago I tried Snipe IT. As your examples seem to be focused on household and grocery stuff, Snipe IT might be overkill, but according to documentation it supports SAML at least.
