“Since last year, the #Nextcloud app hasn’t been able to upload non-media files like documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, etc., due to Google’s restriction on file access permissions. Following widespread complaints from users, Nextcloud raised many appeals with Google, seeking a resolution to the issues. However, despite these efforts, they received no meaningful responses or solutions from them.” #foss #opensource https://news.itsfoss.com/google-gatekeeping-nextcloud/

Politics & Economics

“At the end of the day, any progressive government should see steady improvement of the quality of life of working people as its lodestar of legitimacy and political strength. Redistribution is part of that, but so is organizing for growth. Leaving #Canada coddled corporate class to steer our economy in partnership with a government unable to resist giving it virtually everything it wants is no longer tenable.” #economics https://thewalrus.ca/corporate-welfare-is-canadas-most-expensive-addiction/

“..this effort to separate the price of one family’s home from the broader price of a home on the market is nonsensical. If you want to drive down the cost of purchasing a home, you have to also reduce the price of existing homes. If you don’t want to reduce the value of these homes, then you are in fact committing to having demand exceed supply — the very issue that led us to the #housing crisis in the first place.” #economics https://archive.ph/NeOnF
