Barrier has been abandoned quite awhile ago. Its successor is supposed to be InputLeap, and although their GitHub repo is very active, they have yet to make a release.

I didn’t even know that Synergy provided a “community” version of their app until very recently. I’ve paid for a license many years ago, so I’ve been using their 1.1x versions, which for better or worse, are still maintained along with the 3.x branch (which I’ve tried using but could never make it work, which is for the best because the fact they pivoted their UI to electron-based also left a bad taste in my mouth).

Edit: also, if I understand correctly, Synergy’s latest versions on the 1.x branch borrows a lot from InputLeap.

Not a variant. Read their README. It IS Synergy, they’re renaming the open-source / community version to that, while Synergy will remain the commercial product built out of that.

This. It’s not as simple to get it working as it is on non-free OS’s, but with rclone I can get on Linux pretty much the same functionality I get from (eg.) Google Drive on Windows, including have most of the drive with on-demand access (meaning files are not stored locally, but downloaded / uploaded as needed) with a few specific folders synced for offline use. Since it supports a lot of storage services, I suppose it shouldn’t be that different to set it up the same way with Proton Drive.

I’m very torn on disco. Season 2 is probably the best (due in no small part that it sets up SNW), but the rest are a chore to watch. Most of them have some neat ideas, but they’re badly executed more often than not. They also were too heavy handed with each season arcs serialization, most episodes don’t stand on their own, and the writing and consistency is just bad. I just finished the final season, and I’m glad they’re done with it so they can put more money on good Trek like SNW - hopefully they don’t screw it up eventually.

France has a big, big problem with overemphasizing individual politicians over policies.

I think that’s a “humans” problem, really, specially in the last few decades.
