@matigo Can I trust NextCloud to handle files I own? Is it robust enough that I won't lose data? You always make it sound a bit unreliable…

@matigo It's the Marshall Stockwell II (black & brass version). It's on order so haven't licked it in person yet.
@phoneboy Any friendly, social coming together in this day and age is a good thing. Very important in fact.
Me paying £169 for a bluetooth speaker has elicited much shock. Is that really a lot?
I've just observed someone giving court testimony remotely via Microsoft Teams on a laptop. To do with a minor road incident thingy. Quite enlightening though. What a shambles. It wasn't the software that was a shambles but everything else. Though the fact that the law is done through an app nowadays is partly why everything else was a shambles.
People getting sent e-mails explaining how to 'attend' the same morning the hearing is scheduled for and when they check their e-mail, it's not even been sent. Alleged whiplashee's brief jumping on the the fact that someone was heard saying 'stop sniffing' by going 'Who's that? Is there someone else in the room? I heard a woman!' before having to accept it was a court clerk. People having to defend inconsistencies in their 'witness statements' because giving a good account of a chaotic incident after the fact to a car insurer over the phone when you're really tired is problematic.
If Gabriel García Márquez was still alive he could write a book called 'Justice in the Time of Covid-19'. Subtitle: there's an app for that!
@matigo Governments like that don't they? Things that only they can do.

@phoneboy I bowed out when she said she'd mentally controlled video game characters. I'm not into podcasts much anyway. I prefer video podcasts where you can see people's expressions, mannerisms, reactions and body language.
@matigo Really? A while back @jws said that there's a part of an SSD where it's not really possible to do a full erase (except perhaps with special tools). The more I hear about SSDs the more they seem rather strange.
@matigo A dog that's not keen on dogs? I suppose she's always the tiny one and that can be uncomfortable.
