I tried to usw this for my home folder in my daily driver, but it just did not work for me.

I’m now trying out the PARA system, and Iike it better.

I should also add I use obsidian.md for basically everything having to do with files/folders/organization, so I do have all sorts of tags, auto-updated tables, etc. So a simpler file structure suits me better.

Thank you kind soul, that really brightened up my day.

Not the whole government, but some of it 100% yes.

I don’t see anything that could be considered a “Youth bad” statement in that comment. It’s a complex issue, influenced by a myriad of factors.

For example, I could dissasemle and reassemble my first PC without any prior knowledge. I had to learn to use DOS to navigate the OS and get things done. I got a book from the library about it, and spent hours upon hours just learning about how the file structure, commands, programs, external media, etc. worked before I could do anything remotely useful.

Today a PC/tablet/phone is a black box, you have to actively WANT to tinker in order to learn such about how they work. And most big tech companies try to punish you for so much as trying to replace a battery yourself.

I suspect you are projecting some personal feelings onto a stranger’s comment.

That’s the nature of the beast. You can’t have human users on a network without at least some slop.

But the decentralized network ensures that a “techno-baron” has no more say than you or I, which is exactly what the internet is supposed to do.

That’s decidedly better than a centralized system, especially now.

Great news!

Define useful.

Just a rhetorical request, I’m not expecting an answer.

Another reason to check out eOS. F-Droid is a standard source for the default app store, along with the usual play store apps. I just got a Fairphone 5 last week, an installed eOS. I’m loving it so far.

"In superconductors, the electrons act like two reticent people at a dance party. At first, neither person wants to dance with the other. But then the DJ plays a song that both people like, allowing them to relax. They notice one another enjoying the song and become attracted from afar – they have paired but have not yet become coherent.

Then the DJ plays a new song, one that both people absolutely love. Suddenly, the two people pair and start to dance. Soon everyone at the dance party follows their lead: They all come together and start dancing to the same new tune. At this point, the party becomes coherent; it is in a superconducting state.

In the new study, the researchers observed electrons in a middle stage, where the electrons had locked eyes, but were not getting up to dance."

This is an awesome ELI5.

Depends on your requirements. The faiphone 5 has 8GB of RAM, which is more than enough for what I’m doing with a smartphone.

Oh course I totally understand what you are talking about though, for many users (mobile gamers, people who don’t mind google/apple telemetry, etc.) 8GB is a bare minimum.

I don’t think accuracy was the goal, it is a joke not a dissertation. It’s more about how it feels to try a language like assembly after working with higher-level languages.

For me it is, apparently for you it is not. We have different use cases. That’s cool.

Just to be clear, I’m not here to judge. Everyone has thier own life with it’s multitude of little and big decisions. It would be presumptuous and ignorant of me to assume what applies to me also applies to you.

The focus should be on helping each other to make informed decisions.

That’s the price of privacy. Google has that traffic data because there are so many drivers with thier app installed. If you are OK with a giant corporation monitoring your every move, then of course that convenience is a good reason to use thier services.

Data is the new oil.

I agree, I never said it was. I was just explaining why (imo) many people have a knee-jerk reaction to any pro-vegan posts.

Non-vegans are just sick of vocal vegans turning every conversation into a pro-vegan preach-fest. Factory farming is deplorable, but it’s not just a black & white issue.

Pcloud, NordVPN, Tidal, reMarkable sync

I’d use Obsidian Sync too if I used Obsidian across devices. I just back my vaults up in the cloud.

It’s also why I love it here. Actual discourse without (much) shouting mindlessly at each other.

I’m talking about AI. However, the statement I made wasn’t very well informed. Others have shared with me how the printing press did indeed give rise to fears about piracy, and create entirely new discussions & problems related to intellectual property.

Thanks for sharing, those are indeed sources that I’ve never encountered before.

From what I understood, the fears surrounding the printing press (as well as other advancements throughout history related to information, text, & writing) were more about people being overloaded with information both false and/or true, or people becoming less studious/disciplined.
