 Happy one-year anniversary to this nightmare GitHub issues thread.  

My favorite part was when the lead dev changed the name of the issue, so people would stop dogpiling into it.

Here’s the short version:

:nextcloud: #NextCloud #IOS changed the way they handle auto-uploads to the NC server.

It USED to be triggered by a GPS event that would fire whenever a picture is taken on an iPhone. 

This required that the app have GPS permissions. Many non-technical users found this confusing and were concerned about privacy.

Apple is also not really providing a great background event for NC devs to work with, it appears. :omya_apple: 

SO. Instead of putting in a little explanation banner like so many apps do, NC-IOS decided to just remove the feature and instead require that you open the app and leave it running in the foreground whenever you want all your pictures to be added to the server.

In the “background” the auto-upload process is left to the discretion of IOS without the GPS trigger. IOS will not handle background events like this until conditions are “optimal” like the device being plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi. And even then, will still sometimes block the background  upload event.

:doge: Many people unhappy. Want old way. Used to only upload 5-6 photos at a time. Now upload 50-60 photos at a time. Many photo missing. Much suffering.

 Tried draft cola for the first time in my life today.

Maybe it's just that I don't really drink soda....

But draft cola is nasty as heck. :cuteew:

 Listening to some teenagers talk about how in some places there are dress codes that require people to cover their necks because necks are very provocative.

Debate about whether this was true or not followed. 

They concluded that giraffes are the sexiest creatures on the planet. 🦒 
 A while back I started using "reckon" more because I thought it was a funny word. Just kind of like a personal joke for myself.  

But now I reckon I cant stop. :cowboy-cool-cry-mild-panic:

 Somewhere someone was putting a baby to sleep right now, and they were so close.

And then the National Alert happened.

 @42fe1af0 

Yeah, I guess that has its appeal. Personally, I think If I am trying to make an RPI a daily driver, I'd rather spend the money and just get a retired enterprise desktop computer.

The form factor will be different, but the performance and price will be similar. The benefit is you get to save on time building, and testing.

 Why does programming have to be such a pain?

Because the world is run by masochists.

Only thing I can currently think of using this for is a Fedi server. Or, a retro game station. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
