One is integrated into the system and the other is not?

What system? The DE?

A linux desktop install is a system of systems. Almost none of which are essential, all of which are interchangeable with other versions and options.

The nextcloud desktop client honestly integrates with “the filesystem” much more closely than the Online Account functionality of KDE. Is it part of “the distro”?

Steam is not integrated. At all.

Really? Even on Bazzite, the distro that can replace SteamOS and all its handheld console functionality?

Steam is basically an entire DE in gaming mode.

Steam does not integrate into the calendar, contacts, filesystem, etc.

And the software providing the calendar and contacts features can be uninstalled in the very same way steam can be. In fact the entire DE can be. What’s the distinction you’re making?

But it’s not, because it’s not limited to KDE. They pretty much all do.

Ok, so say most DEs have the feature. It doesn’t make nextcloud any more centrally integrated than steam is.

I have 4 remote backups!

Yeah I queued this up before recent events.

You ain’t kidding.

It’ll be normal for several pages, and then 15-year-old Kurumi will suddenly go “shit ain’t cash right now” or “tadai’mhome”.

KDE is part of the distro.

Sure. But a “distro” is a preset collection of software packages. Very nearly all of which are optional. What’s “integrated” doesn’t really tell anyone anything. The list of software can be anything. By this logic Steam is “integrated into the distro” on distros like Bazzite that have it pre-installed.

In comparison, it’s much more useful to tell people “KDE provides integration with this thing” because that allows people to instantly tell whether they can make use of that feature, based on whether they are running KDE, regardless of what distro they started off installing.

To enable the functionality, I installed the kaccounts-provider package just now. Trying it out, it seems to allow you to view the contents of your nextcloud account in the network section of Dolphin (though this doesn’t seem to actually work, likely due to my use of two factor auth on my instance). It also syncs contacts?

To access additional functionality, the desktop client is still required (though it too integrates nicely with Dolphin to the point you might not have realized it is separate software, if you had it pre-installed). It’s possible that the login process for it is even automated if you already have your account added in KDE settings.

Edit: all of them are encrypted

Could you imagine?

Four redundant backups for essential login details.

Plaintext.

Can you elaborate? That “usually” is doing a lot of heavy lifting, I’ve never heard of this.

What is integrated? How do sync folders work? Does it support calendar syncing? Contacts? How do you browse the stuff stored on nextcloud after logging in?

I use the desktop client to sync files, and Merkuro via caldav to sync calendar events. For everything else I open nextcloud in firefox.

Edit: There is an Online Accounts section in my KDE settings. There is only an option for OpenDesktop.

I assume this can be expanded with additional software packages. Anyway, this is a KDE feature. Not “integrated into the distro”.

Jokes aside I do hope you have that backed up somewhere.

In my case my home server backs up to my dads home server.

Nextcloud works well, and has a desktop client that integrates well with linux DEs (at least gnome and KDE).

Self-hosting is obviously what a lot of people do, me included, but it is not the only option. Nextcloud accounts are available through several hosting providers.

When you work with people to create something, it’s pretty natural to want to see the final product.

I dunno how eccentric I’d consider it for him to expect such a thing to be done for him, but I totally get wanting a copy of something you helped make, because your part in it only becomes complete in context with everyone else’s contribution.

He obviously has his own part in his head, so he can fill that stuff in.

Diamond hands the manga?

I made a comment for each point so the details wouldn’t get lost in huge posts.

Right. Because seven separate comments is so much easier to navigate and read than one well-structured one.

I made my points clearly, regardless. Your points grossly oversimplify either way.

What I’m putting together is that you seem to subscribe to the “eat no carbohydrates because insulin bad and causes fattening” thinking pushed by the keto diet fad.

There are legitimate reasons to go on a keto diet, one of them is that inducing ketosis may allow you to lose weight marginally faster. But there is no conclusive evidence that it is superior to a normal diet in terms of long-term health implications. And it has DEFINITE downsides if you care about your physical performance, as glycogen consumed during physical exertion is replenished much slower when eating a restricted amount of carbohydrates.

In fact I can mostly find it referred to as “low-carbohydrate” diet because it is near impossible to entirely eliminate carbohydrates from your diet without also dropping some other essential nutrients, unless you get those via pills.

In fact when the keto diet is taken to the extreme in order to treat epilepsy, that’s exactly what they do. And even then it’s not harmless.

It would, but I’m saying carbohydrates are essential in the same way cholesterol is. You don’t necessarily have to eat any (though it’s really hard not, considering how many things that you may have to eat due to their other essential elements, do contain at least some carbohydrates), some of your body is composed of carbohydrates.

Like I said, you can technically replace all energy needs with fats.

I’m not gonna deal with a comment for each point. Especially considering I can barely make out what your actual position is.

Please improve your writing comprehension, I don’t want to talk to you through your lack of it. This is probably the biggest case of talking past each other I’ve ever run into on lemmy.

Then why are you only saying this now, after I and another commenter CLEARLY read your comment about a 180 to mean you were stating the old advice and intending the opposite.

Yes. You can live on a keto diet.
