Can't really help you. I got through to the article, but the page doesn't archive well and copying text on mobile is a pain.

Just try again?

I use email rules to filter those ones out. Linux server containers are especially egregious.

I used to book flights with aggregators. After an experience with Priceline (owned by booking.com) I will never, ever again.

Had to cancel a flight due to the whole family getting COVID. When we tried rebooking using the credit, we had to call in to a special number to deal with an agent. This agent had a different flight price list than what was publicly listed - and of course the agent's prices were higher. They were so much higher that it was cheaper for us to throw our credit out and book online than to use our credit and book through the agent.

We spent hours railing against this. Calling, calling back, trying different agents, calling the airline, ombudsman, etc. I even wrote with receipts, call, and chat logs to CBC's Go Public but never heard back.

Where, when, and in what context was that said? I can't find anything on it.

I'm one of the people who is happy with my Nextcloud setup (outside of never quite getting only office to work in browser after I hooked it all up to a reverse proxy behind HTTPS), but I always try to keep my eye on developments in the space for a potential better solution. I looked at OCIS a while back, but it didn't have the quality of life features that I enjoy to make it worth me switching from a working Nextcloud deployment.

Does OCIS have a desktop client that supports on-demand file synchronization (a la OneDrive) rather than just selective folder sync? Does it support storing files as is in a natural directory structure or is everything stored as a flat file blob? Is it able to handle external storage even if that external storage is physical storage on a container mount point?

This is the level of pedantry I can get behind.

Thank you for doing this. I had not clued in that tempo had stopped development.

When you do get around to changing the graphics, maybe you can ditch the ovaries and uterus look of the logo.
