I currently use PCloud which works great for computers, but I still have to find a way to edit docs on my phone. I tried to try collabora, but unsuccessfully.

Freelancing means I have to do like 15 different jobs, so these things get pushed to the back burner.

I did struggle with the gaming part, which perhaps may have been due to my devices being too old, but I recently bought a second hand, relatively new laptop, and haven’t tried gaming yet (mostly for work and I tend to play with the PS), but any recommendations? I’d love to play more

I have been extending the life of my old devices with ubuntu for a while now, now my mum’s imac is like, no longer supported, so I am installing elementary on it, so she can use it fully.

I am not tech-savvy (I try, but I feel lost all the time) and I manage, been trying to spread the word!

Actually, on second thought, the above is true for the writer, but I was having lots of issues with the Drawing one. Hm.

I do like Libreoffice a lot but I will maybe include Onlyoffice in my roster.

Oh I haven’t had office for at least 10 years. I have used Libreoffice and for a while another one I can’t remember... and was using google docs for work cause it is very convenient to have docs linked across devices.

Thank you very much for the suggestion, I’ll check it out.

…eating my documents??? 😨

Do you mean losing them? There was only one version that kept giving me trouble, years ago, but it’s been fine since.

My only issue atm is that I don’t know yet how to sync it with my phone, if I have to work remote.

Thank you! It was long overdue. Perhaps you are right, as most people I know are either “tech-tech” and degoogled, or no-tech and in it…

I am sure certain collectives would greatly benefit of more options, like sex workers, for example.

I'd say, I only used to receive a bit on the account I have for my previous business, and I received the extremely occasional phishing attempt, and a long time ago emails from a hacked client.

I reckon my safeguarding "hygiene" was probably a bit poor sometimes.

Protonmail is pretty good in its free version, I decided to pay for my work one, because I needed my folder system (they have a limit) and I like the idea of a personalised email address, but for personal use, the free version is more than enough.

And privacy-wise they seem to be the best option.

Oh, I have not investigated much, but I think Squarespace and godaddy are also ethically questionable, if I remember correctly.

I reckon I'll be moving to WordPress, not sure if the paid or OS version (ideally the latter, I still have a couple of paid wix years to figure it out)

Ah, sí! También!

No había visto ese error yo, resulta que había “2 tiny mistakes” 😅

Muy bien visto 🫡

Yesss 😍👏🏻

Personally I’d use a compound (he estudiado) but simple preterite (estudié) is more widespread across Spanish of the world.

Oh, dear. Sorry to hear but I am glad you had at least that anchor.

I've never really considered self-harm seriously, but I have felt very tired about life and it has felt not worth living in the past.

I owe a lot of quality of life to therapy ❤️
