My always up-to-date table of now 942 verified media accounts in the #Fediverse (which is not on #GoogleDocs anymore) is beginning to be helpful:
➡️ fingolas.eu/fediverse/overview

I added a custom search builder (above the table at the left) that gives powerful options to filter the whole database.
There are now also the first bridged media accounts from #Bluesky und accounts from other software in the #Fediverse (like from @index): Search by Software.

Next is styling the page a bit 😅

EDIT: Problem kinda solved by deleting all browser data, but still weird because I've never heard of Canva and run several privacy extensions simultaneously in Firefox. Any further comments welcome, but problem is at least resolved if still unexplained.

Help needed #Google #GoogleDocs #GoogleDrive

Background: I often make Google documents to share with students to edit, set to public, no login required.

Problem: Today it seems that something called "Canva Integrations" is required for somebody to access a newly made public/edit Google Doc link. This is pervasive across several Google logins, including my work-based enterprise access.

Older Google Docs, including as recent as last week do not seem affected.

Is this Google's new business model? Something else?

👁️ Адміністрація Трампа підтвердила, що #DOGE за допомогою ШІ спостерігає за комунікаціями працівників федеральних агентств.

ШІ ⁠Маска шукає ворожі до Трампа та його політики повідомлення. Перевіряються #MicrosoftTeams, #Signal і навіть #GoogleDocs, що дозволяє швидко виявляти потенційні ознаки непокори чи нелояльності.

Ich suche eine Alternative zu Google Docs, die folgenden drei Kriterien genügt:

* Hosting in der EU
* Möglichkeit, Texte per Link zum Bearbeiten mit unangemeldeten Personen zu teilen
* Android-App, die meine Augen nicht beleidigt

Muss nicht gratis sein (Testphase wäre praktisch). Muss außer Text und ein bisschen Formatierung (fett, kursiv, so was) nicht viel können (Tabellen, Gleichungen, Code sind nicht wichtig).

Ich dachte an iA Writer, aber die haben (aus verständlichen Gründen) keine Android-App mehr.

Ich teste gerade OnlyOffice. Das ist okay, aber besticht durch eine 90er-Jahre-Optik und Fonts, die irgendwie alle pixelig aussehen. Es funktioniert, aber macht keinen Spaß. (Außerdem lädt mein Testdokument gerade nicht.)

Hat wer noch eine Idee?

I swear that I will never again write a scientific paper in either #MSWord or #GoogleDocs. Ever.

I don't care that my collaborators in a medical school can't handle #TeXLaTeX or #Markdown. The costs of final typesetting and conversion are just Too Fucking High.

It's costing me more than a week of my life just to do menial shit that is fully automatic with my normal workflow. smh

I know that my normal tool chain lacks some collaboration tools, but I just don't care anymore.
