I thought I had hit reply on your other comment going into more detail (whoops!).

Like I did in this example, ask if people are open to feedback (if you’re the one giving it).

Often when I am training groups on how to work together, I always try and frame feedback as a gift.

If someone is giving you feedback, they are genuinely trying to help you grow - and that’s a gift. The issue here though, is not everyone is a good gift giver - and we can’t control that.

What we do have control over is how we recieve gifts - often all you need to do is say thank you. Don’t explain why you’re not going to use this feedback (if you plan not to incorporate it). Other than clarifying the feedback to better understand how to incorporate it, saying thank you is the best way to go about it.

As far as delivering feedback I always say “if you can choose to be anything in this world why choose anything other than kind.”

It is important to state that “being kind” doesn’t mean not having the difficult conversations or delivering difficult feedback - you can still do that without being cruel. Being assertive isn’t being aggressive.

A bit rambly but if you’re ever working with folx on delivering feedback, I’ve found that presenting these frameworks with it ste super helpful

Are you open to some additional thoughts / feedback on feedback / constructive criticism?

100% they’re awesome - and you can install your own apps on the instance, probably could use it for hosting a site if wanted.

I set up a foundry instance on mine.

whatbox is awesome and their support team is top notch.

lots you can do with their system.

Well the company’s board has a choice on who represents them and what their values are as a whole.

If the company thought that this person (CEO on this case) doesn’t represent their values effectively they can remove them.

Yeah, long term I do want to self host and I’ve now been doing reading on next cloud.

I used to flash to cyanogenos on a galaxy2 back in the day and I’m looking at different ROMs to try out now (suggestions welcome).

That being said, I’m new to Linux and haven’t done much home server stuff, but am motivated to learn more.

XD The HOAs are out to get folx

Totally fair point there.

I do want to move to a more secure OS for my mobile device, and I’m just in the babysteps of understanding the wide world of the Linux ecosystem.

I am genuinely curious about other sources - I tried to do digging on some but couldn’t verify all the claims. No rush, get some rest and whenever you get a chance I’d love to read / learn more.

I mean I couldn’t find a lot of the other things but I do know the climate activist one is verifiable.

I found this article that goes more in depth with cooperation with other lawn enforcement agencies.

It seems murena has all in looking for with the exception of supporting custom domain names (unless you self host). The workspace aspect is important to me as I do a lot of collaborative work that is much easier with shared access to a spreadsheet.

Yeah, been strongly considering that recently as well but I have a lot to learn.

I really want to have a custom domain, murena seems to have everything that I’m looking for, if I wanted to have a custom domain still I’d have to self host.

I’ve heard that self hosting can lead to a bunch of email getting snagged in spam filters. In regards to self-hostijg I’m definitly in the unconscious ignorance (I don’t know what I don’t know) phase of it.

Yeah - mostly was the hope of this post to see what others you put up.

I had looked at tuta but I’m looking to be able to move my digital workspace (email, calendar, storage, docs, etc) over.

And at least with android devices you have the choice to move to a different OS and opt into more FOSS alternatives

They look pretty good; I can’t tell from their site of they offer custom domain support for email.

For being tired this outlined a lot of great points and good alternatives. Nubo has my eye and I’m going to look into starting the process with them.
