Once, during my studies, I read that archaeology is a destructive science. It destroys what it studies, so often archaeologists will try to excavate as little as possible.

Found the culprit.

An NC app named "Temporary files lock" allows apps to lock files, and the locks are by default indefinite. Open the Text app through the desktop client, and the Text app sets the lock, the desktop client marks the file read-only, but when you close the window with the Text app, the lock is not released, leaving the file locked for good.

I've disabled the files_lock app, as my instance is practically single-user.

I often edit markdown files by opening them in Nextcloud from the context menu in Gnome Files, as I like the NC Markdown editor.

However, after I updated my server to the latest NC, whenever I do it, the local file turns read-only.

It doesn't happen if I open the file through the NC web interface, but I hardly ever use that.

After I've edited a file, the local copy is read-only, which makes the function rather useless.

I agree with you, Aral, but I can see how we got here.

The EU wanted to regulate chargers, and all cables do charging, so in that situation the cable wasn't an issue.

Now, with much fancier cables, and especially because they do contain electronics inside the plug, such a cable also becomes e-waste. It is not simply a set of wires. It is in its own right an electronic device.

So yes, we need regulation so we can see which cable does what, to reduce e-waste.

Would the EU intervene over a product not following an industry standard, if there's no health or environment risk involved?

USB is an industry standard, not a law in any jurisdiction.

In fact, the owner of the standard, USB-IF is based in the US, not in the EU. Ensuring standards compliance is not a task for the EU in this case.

There's at least a dozen variations, from charging only to all internal 25 wires fully connected.

Obligatory markings in USB cables must be next.

There's a reason Russia has mostly stopped threatening Ukraine with nuclear weapons. Ukraine can still make Moscow uninhabitable.
