♲ @craigmaloney@octodon.social: So Dropbox is starting to focus more on being a portal for business and less on being that big dumb syncing drive that we all want.

If I were to ditch Dropbox and start exploring other options what would be the closest to the Dropbox experience. That is: syncing files between Ubuntu and Android devices, grabbing photos off of my Android phone, and handling merge conflicts on a text file without mangling the file.

Recommendations?

To go on sale in the US this month: Lenovo ThinkPad P laptops with Ubuntu.

Dell may be the best-known Linux laptop vendor right now, but Lenovo is looking to muscle in on the pre-installed Linux machine market.

Shipping Linux on high-end, premium machines like these is indicative of one thing: demand.

Lenovo is clearly hearing from its customers, from businesses, and from developers that they want LINUX out of the box.

I also just learned that store-and-forward packet switching was also referred to as "hot potato routing", which, why is it not still called that??
