This is annoying especially if you want a setup where you have an internal company server and an external open source community. But Mattermost is aware of it and working on fixing it, apparently.
If it's really important to you, as a stopgap measure, you could sideload a second copy onto your phone.
Been a while since I knew anybody that worked at McDonald's... But while I was a lifeguard in college, one girl quit the lifeguarding to get more hours at McDonald's. They were much much better at tailoring her hours, and others around their school schedules, kids schedulers, whatever. Perhaps that was a localized thing, but it was always known as a good place to work around here.
Syncthing can work. You don't get the centralized server though. Well you can run it on an always on system. I'd like this to be a VPS, but the files sit on the VPS in clear text. I like syncthing as it syncs file mode bits as well.
Resilio Sync is decentralized as well. And lets you setup encrypted folders, so only peers with the password can decrypt them, but other peers can take part in the syncing. So I can run an instance on a VPS and not worry too much if it gets compromised. I find its Linux support lacking and wasn't as reliable as Syncthing for me. I'm going to try it again sometime.
Seafile. Centralized server, can do encrypted folders. I'm going to look at this one again, but found the sync took a real long time, and I don't think it synced file mode bits.
Nextcloud. Centralized server. Can do encrypted folders. Seemed OK, but didn't do mode bits.
Currently I'm using Syncthing, where my central always on machine is my home server which would be running anyways. I like the idea of having a 'central' server in the cloud, but need that to be secured in a way that Syncthing can't do. So I'm not sure its my permanent solution yet.
I also use Unison for much larger folders, like my code directories.
Gnome has been really pissing me off lately. Simple things, like adding app that start on login need a "Tweak" tool? How silly is that.
With the upgrade to Fedora 29 I thought I'd try KDE. Its got a lot of the features I miss from Gnome - and a tray, and not so fat title bar. But its really unstable in various ways. In particular, forgetting many settings after a reboot. One display having a background, the other not.
Anyways, back to Gnome. At least whats their is stable.
I plan to give XFCE a shot. But might be time to take the i3 dive.
Obviously not, though you don't need to hear the answer nor ask the question.
This comment adds no value. No one would seriously wonder that, nor would anyone endorse it, nor does it need to be discussed because all of that's so obvious.
I currently have Fedora 28 installed on a T470 and a T480s and it’s pretty flawless. Not the sexiest laptops out there, but they seem pretty good for Linux.
What is the root of all the Microsoft distrust? I’m older, and left Windows for Linux back in 1997 and haven’t really paid attention since. I wonder if this mistrust is valid? Are they any worse than Apple?
Well, there are a lot of web developers that we're saddled with supporting ie6 for many years after Microsoft won the browser war with Netscape and proceeded to let it stagnate for years. That amount of pain that was inflicted on the web dev community left a lot of lingering resentment.
Then there was their locked-down file formats, their role in killing off BeOS and preventing pre-installed Linux machines, their "embracing" of open technologies like Kerberos only to make their version subtly incompatible. For well over a decade, almost everything they did technically rubbed us tech folks the wrong way.
For me it's that they're software patent abusers, and I won't send them any money because of that. However, all I did was switch from the paid tier to the free tier, and move my private repositories to my own server.
I’m a full time paid open source developer. About 40% of my time is reviewing pull requests these days. Most of these are meaningful contributions. And while it can be a pain in the ass it is community building.
