I'm not sure what would make you think the "customers" for an enormous DNA database were the people providing the DNA.

Those people were just paying to be the product.

So yes, I did, and yes, their docs suck (better documentation is on their roadmap).

There's a really good guide here on Lemmy that I recommend instead. https://lemmy.ml/post/25006407

Following this I had it up and running in no time. Check the comments as well, I added some notes on getting attachments working. If you're still having issues shoot me a message and I'll try to help.

Look, I wish I could give you an ironclad guarantee of how things will shake out, but that ain't how this shit works.

The NDP as they are now are incapable of rising to this moment. They need to be replaced by something that is. Maybe that works out, maybe it doesn't. Playing it safe has gotten us fucking nowhere. I'd rather take the swing.

I think being afraid of scaring people off got them where they are.

Voters were overwhelmingly willing to vote for Pollievre, a man everyone detests, simply because he was a fuck you to Ottawa and the status quo.

That 'burn it down' energy has been tamped down by the threats from the south, but sooner or later it will be back (or we'll no longer be talking about Canadian elections), and when it does the NDP needs to be ready to point the molotovs at where the real blame is.

If you can, take a moment to upvote Drawing Support in their suggested features section; https://notesnook.com/roadmap/

I did find that with a very large OneNote account the importer struggled, specifically because OneNote was timing out and rejecting the requests after a while.

My solution was to backup (in onenote) and then delete the notebooks that had been moved already and then run the importer again.

Not even once. The syncing has been incredibly robust for me. It also has a really nice flow for handling conflicts.

Of course, it's worth keeping in mind that it can new self-hosted, so experiences will vary.

I'm using the self hosted version. Take from that what you will.

An NDP minority would keep Singh and the other softly softly types in charge, and continue to offer weak, incremental improvements instead of real, meaningful change. We need a radical, socialist left that offers real solutions if we're going to avert the rise of fascism here in Canada, and the NDP needs new faces and new ideas if they're ever going to win people over again.

Yes, it's all open source and can be self-hosted. They run a paid plan, but if you self host then you get all the paid features free.

Yeah, the potential for real hazard to life and limb is very high here. This isn't like fucking around with your IOT lightbulbs. This could kill somebody.

Yeah, the NDP kind of need to get crushed in this election so we can clear out the dead wood. We need a reborn and revitalized NDP to meet the current moment.

Yes and no. It would be better to say that about half of our Conservatives sit slightly to the right of the Dems. The other half - the former Reform party of which Pollievre is one - are an actively regressive, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic party who want to destroy abortion access, collapse our education system and sell off our healthcare, and would get along very well with the GOP (hence why Trump spoke so favourably of Pollievre and why Pollievre refuses to ever say anything bad about Trump).

And here's the thing; the half of our Conservatives who aren't openly fascist have no problem allying with the half who are. Which just makes them fascists too. We shouldn't kid ourselves about this. Canadian Conservatives want to do everything the GOP is doing, they're just not there yet.

The big difference between Canada and the US, isn't in the quality of our Conservatives, its in the fact that our Conservatives have to mask their more horrific tendencies to get the average person to vote for them.
