    I ended up having a bit of time (and remembering blob-no-thoughts), I would second what u/ProletarianDictator said. Celeste (which can be found on FlatHub and is fully free) seems to do exactly what you're looking for, checking for updates to files in the cloud or on your machine constantly and pushing/pulling as needed.

    I will say that the method is... rough right now. Assuming you're working with a modern system you should be fine, but if you're on laptop you might not want it running 24/7. Rather than waiting for changes to occur and then sending the data around, it seems like it's constantly checking to make sure the local/remote files are staying in sync.

    It's all open source though and works very smoothly, so I'd definitely give it a try!

    Edit: I also want to note that I specifically checked that the files are really located on my machine - I can confirm they are present in both locations and after severing the link between directories, the files persisted in a usable state on both ends. The drive integration as part of GNOME does not do this and I confirmed that.


  • If you're interested in switching over and that's the only hang up, I can give a few solutions a try on my machine at home this weekend and let you know if there are options for you that might not have come up through forum posts.

    I know a lot of times when something gets added and "just works" no one bothers to talk about it so you don't know until you poke around yourself!



  • I for a long time thought of myself as an angry or even hateful person, but in the last few years I've realized it's because I love people generally that I can feel that way - when you have someone for their racism or sexism, it may help you to find peace if you consider that the reason it makes you hate is your love for those marginalized peoples.

    When it comes to seeing people like that, I try to keep it mind "There but for the grace of God go I" - I'm in my late twenties and a white guy who grew up in rural America, had I not been exposed to leftist works during my schooling, it's very easy to imagine a world where I had fallen into very hateful ideologies. If you can see in others how they have ended up how they are, it's easier to understand them and maybe you'll still dislike or have them, but it's something you can pair with "I wish it didn't turn out this way for you."

    I have a sick obsession with trying each new Oreo flavor and the horrid new Cokes that they put out every few months.

    This is one of the worst Oreos they've ever made, maybe even worse than the cotton candy if you had that. It's a damn shame they don't sell like a serving so you can have it, experience how awful it is, and be done with it.





  • Not a mobile dev, but have utilized Flutter quite a bit at work for web development. You can have a shared codebase between mobile and web, just changing a few options when compiling to create different versions. No need for different UI/UX code if you don't mind having a web version which would really be best suited for a touch based platform.

    To keep things simple, I'd suggest using a Provider approach rather than something like BLoC - we used BLoC for a while at the office and it ended up being a headache.
