I used seafile in the past. but I abandoned it for syncing. might help your use case …

yep. why are they opposing fact checking in the first place? no one should be able to lie unchecked to dupe voters

the content of Vance’s lies are really really scary. not to mention his damned non answer

you’re totally right on this. I’m surprised walz didn’t say more than “that was fact checked and found to be false”. explain that abortions don’t happen after live birth! call out the lies.

vance did a total 180 on many things while looking directly at the camera. he’s a sociopath. he scares me… he’s smart and doesn’t care about anything other than personal gain.

I use syncthing for this purpose all the time. I seemlessly move from my work PC, home PC or laptop. I sync my data directories and most of my config settings. some are different per system (monitors, etc). 10/10 highly recommend

honestly I don’t see why they put effort into making a new font. there are plenty of freely available ones that are good enough

honestly they are all pretty good at this point. start with the default ur distro supports. if that isn’t to your taste try kde/plasma, gnome or lxde

there are plenty of low cost open access journals run by nonprofits and professional societies. however junior researchers when building their reputation try and publish in journals that are as prestigious as possible, without worrying about cost, apc, open access etc.

iwriting reviews is time consuming, unpaid, and doesn’t help the reviewers career. so it takes a while because reviewers are already busy and don’t prioritize writing reviews too much.

quality of the reviews is questionable. 10% of the reviews are through and provide valuable feedback. the remaining 90% are cursory “yeah this is interesting, publish it” or “not interesting/outside scope”.

very very few reviews find and report scientific errors

academic journals now only provide a service to authors. they used to distribute… but the articles are available free on the arxiv, pubmed, authors websites, etc. the peer review and typesetting journals do is a joke and no author will pay for that.

the value journals have now is mainly to the author, because the prestige of getting accepted by the journal helps with the authors career. publishers figured out that authors will pay for this, so here we are … 🙄

so back in the day we needed publishers for distribution. now with the Internet, distribution is easy. but prices only went up

associate editors and referees are unpaid volunteers. typesetting is also mainly done by the authors. but prices are high because the publisher wants to profit.

there are quite a few high quality journals that are fairly priced and published by non profit publishers. these are the only journals authors should publish in …
