For a while I had daily notes that had a dataview linking to other notes created on the same day as the daily note, then I had a weekly note that linked to all my daily notes created during that week number. The note itself was a place to centralize links to other notes, jot down what was going on, stuff like that.

In the end, it was creating more work than I wanted to do and I wasn’t finding myself going back to review those daily or weekly notes. When I’m creating notes I never look at again, I know I’m wasting my time.

In the dark ages, Mosaic downloaded Firefox and IE. Time truly is a wheel.

Best use of chrome is downloading another browser.

Yeah, the instruction set and the implementation in hardware is absurd at this point.

AMD and Intel have already partnered on killing x64 in the longer run and work is under way.

The current democratic party isn’t standing for trans rights any better than anyone else. Perhaps individual politicians are, but the party has a lot of de facto republicans in the ranks. So vote for them or not, they aren’t going to make things better for folks that are trans. They also aren’t ending wars, reducing military spending, helping vulnerable people seeking asylum, helping homeless people, providing free mental healthcare or national healthcare at all, and so on. Hell, they haven’t enshrined abortion rights into law in the past almost 50 years.

People vote for democrats because of tradition and lesser-of-the-evils reasons. That’s it. That’s a shitty place to be, and should embarrass us the voters as well as the party.

Trans rights are human rights, and how you treat anyone in your society is how you treat everyone. Democrats were scared in the '80s and '90s to support gay people for this exact reason, and instead of losing elections they started winning because people realize gay people are people. They lost elections because they weren’t brave enough to stand with the courage of their convictions, and in my opinion that’s what they deserved.

How are they intertwined? Telegram allows public posts and livestreaming, neither of which they moderate. That’s nothing to do with encryption and everything to do with pushing the legal boundaries they knew existed.

Anonymity, no. But content privacy yes. Whether Telegram is actually private or can MITM content is another question entirely.

This is to do with content moderation not encryption.

You’re coming at this from a perspective that suggests people should have alternatives to cars, or maybe even that people deserve alternatives to cars. And that’s fundamentally not how a shocking number of people think. Heaven help you if you suggest things like low cost fares for the poor or even free access to public transit.

I’m amazed that they had a release as late as 2017. I think I stopped using it in 2012 or 2013. A year or two before Ubuntu One was announced to be ending. The app itself was pretty basic, but used an XML format that was in theory very flexible. Having sync built in to Ubuntu was also pretty great. But not supporting images, not being cross platform with my phone, it all sort of fell out of favor with me.

Anyway, good luck with Obsidian.

I migrated from an app called Tomboy forever ago to Evernote, then from Evernote to Google Keep and Google Dogs which sucked because it was completely manual. Then I converted from Keep and Docs to Obsidian a couple years ago. Moving from Keep to Obsidian was fairly easy because of Google Takeout, now made much easier with plugins. Converting from Docs was a somewhat manual process, but I’ve basically got it done. Anything remaining in Google Docs is now an actual document rather than notes.

My ancient Evernote content was re-imported this year using a plugin and put into an Archive folder. Since there were a lot of bookmarks stored in there, it’s somewhat handy to have it in an archive folder because I’ll see it in search results. Importing the images and whatnot was helpful too, because the initial move to Keep lost a ton of formatting and content alignment.

There is a community plugin named “Importer” that works pretty well, and you should take a look at it. To force the issue of cleanup, I like to have a property assigned to notes for cleaned up or summarized so I can use a dataview to search for notes missing that property or with the property set to false/empty. That way I can go back at my leisure to clean up, summarize, tag, link, etc.

Because the Olympics aren’t good for anything but ruining nations and memes.

You missed the part where the latch is deforming, causing it to not close or alert the driver. The software fix is yet another attempt to dodge the fact that they do not have enough repair capacity or financial reserves for a major fleet recall.

I have a note called Random that I use to drop content that doesn’t need to be in a note, it won’t live a long lifetime, just scratch pad stuff. That one gets an entry multiple times a day.

Otherwise it’s whatever note(s) I have for a currently running project. Parts list, decision notes, tests run and their status.

What he won’t support is them raising prices mostly for Nvidia. TSMC has done this in the past as a clear move to cut nuisance production, and nvidia’s books are full of nonsense orders that they can’t possibly fill. Wei isn’t an idiot, unless Nvidia fronts a lot of cash, it’s unlikely to work out in Jensen’s favor.

LLM are parlour tricks that impress the gullible and easily confused. LLM aren’t building blocks for anything but energy consumption and greed. “The singularity” isn’t coming, true intelligence isn’t coming. You’ve been lied to, and this is the fourth time in my career alone that this has had to be said.

To rip off investors. If they pretend to be on the same hype train as everyone else, and lie about what their product does, there’s a chance some idiot will give them more money.

I told you how to find them so you wouldn’t have to bitch about my cherry picking. I can’t help if you’d rather bury your head in the sand, and it makes no difference to me what you believe.
