Yup. That’s my one hangup. Except you don’t even need to install Dropbox. It just uses the Dropbox API (correct me if I’m wrong please).

The developer is a single(?) person based out of Germany and is pretty chill. I didn’t know it had Ubuntu and all support till after using it for a long time. I literally would use it just for iOS to Mac and back.

Best thing I’ve used in forever.

Recently made some jam. Was really impressed by how low tech the process was. Just cook some fruits, separate the roughage and branches and seeds, etc. Add sugar and cook it again. I believe you also have to add pectin if the fruit you’re turning into jam doesn’t have a lot of it.

Then bottle the stuff and enjoy it with bread for a long long time!

I’ve used pyTK to make some apps for personal use. Good stuff, somewhat easy to use once you follow some tutorials.

A tutorial tried to get me to install emacs the other day. I guffawed in nano.

Also, OP, I’m reading a book about Mary Shelley and her mum Mary Wollstonecraft. The latter was present during the French Revolution and was disillusioned by the violence and degradation of women’s rights she saw. So it’s very interesting to see more women’s writings on such topics.

Thanks for introducing me to the book!

Fair point! Thanks!!

Google Books has this book scanned. I assume you want to read the physical copy. Even so, here’s the link.

OP, you say those folks only launch a chrome browser and so aren’t choosing Linux themselves. Fine. But looking at it from the system perspective, they’re inadvertently learning how to use Linux. How to make WiFi selection in that interface. How to deal with patches and upgrades and vulnerabilities and hacks. Sure, they’re basically only using the browser. But do they never download a file? Open it in the system file browser? Attach it back in the browser?

All of these user interactions are what define a person’s experience on a system. If you think of one of the main differences between iOS and Android, you’ll see how in iOS files are a second class citizen and apps are first class citizens. That means iOS defers to the app first and then considers a file as an independent entity. That’s a strategic decision that defines how generations of iOS users perceive the world around them. It’s what helped companies like Notion become the behemoths they are because everyone accepted that if you want to build a knowledge base, you can just start writing text in an app or browser and not consider files as the first point of contact for the knowledge base user.

By using Linux on a day to day basis, those users are slowly unlearning what they’ve come to understand is the default behavior of a system - most likely whatever Windows does.

Somewhere down the line they’ll crib and hate on windows enough to what something different. That might end up being Mac, but for a large swathe of people, it might end up being some Linux variant too.

I wonder what the storage requirements are.
