    RESOLVED : dropbox on Debian 13

    If you are on Debian 13 and want to use dropbox as a daemon/desktop application, I have found it impossible to use their new software (.debs created for Debian). I also think it is mining your browser data for AI analytics.

    Go with the nautilus-dropbox package in the stable branch.

    And start looking for an alternative. They are coming after your OS and browser. Shameful.

    -- Halloween creepy crawly fun fact --

    Did you know that almost 97% of traffic to opensource projects is from AI scrapers and crawlers ? ^1

    So much so that many opensource websites use "proof of work" challenges and waste precious bandwidth to protect themselves ? ^2

    It's as unscrupulous as it gets. The evil witch is winning.

    --End of halloween story.--
