Mozilla should approach proton to try and get accuired. I would love to see Firefox and Thunderbird become part of the proton landscape.

Great news!

You certainly have to learn new ways of doing things when you want to tinker, but they are basically UNBREAKABLE, which is my main plus point. I’m busy, I need my PC to be reliable. I don’t want to have to troubleshoot stuff just to keep it up and running.

If I had more time I would really enjoy the tinkering, but I don’t so I need my distro just work.

Define useful.

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

If this what works for work stuff, then more power to ya. I just hope you don’t do any personal stuff on there…

You will love it. Great for gaming, flatpaks are the standard, and local AI is easy to setup with podman.

Just be aware that installing stuff without a flatpak or appimage available can be somewhat of a pain.

The remarkable 2 is apparently good for this if you know what you are doing.

I have one and I’m very happy with it, but I use it exclusively for todo lists and taking notes, so I have no need to tinker with it.

Shaka, when the walls fell.

Link is the boy.

In Other Waters. Wonderful atmospheric indie with minimalist visual style and a wonderful chill soundtrack. It’s beautiful and relaxing, but never boring.

It’s an amazing tool.

For your comics list, I’d suggest Dataview, quickadd, and templater plugins. With those three you could easily make a database with an entry mask, that automatically sorts the files into folders and sets metadata based on the mask input, and dynamically creates various tables for reference.

Folder notes could be useful too, depending how you want to set it up, and how detailed you want to have your tables.

Whatever you decide on, good luck. :)

This program rocks for any sort of organization.

Markdown files in folders, with all sorts of plugins for tweaking it to your use case.

But beware, Obsidian is full of rabbit holes. Don’t get distracted by shiny plugins that you don’t actually need.

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.

I was trying so hard to get GTP4ALL to work inside of obsidian because it has this localdocs feature, where you can feed it documents and it integrates them into itself. I want the model to be aware of the whole vault, and also generate notes based on the vault contents, constantly updating.

It looks like podman desktop + chatGPG obsidian plugin is the way to go through, I’m playing around with it and it looks promising.

This is the kind of comment that we do not need here amongst the righteous. Of course you have a say, you have a vote. It doesn’t matter which state, just fucking vote. The republicans are on their last leg, their only hope is that you give up and resign to your fate.

Don’t. Don’t give an inch. Go vote. Show them that we the people are still in power, and we will no longer stand for their corporate distopia.

"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.

Oh god I remember doing that too. Those “programs” were the best. I even mad sure to make the code long, so that even if someone thought to take a look at the code they would have to scroll for a while to find the notes.

Thanks! I’ll try it out.

It’s about how they do it. They achieve this not only by being incredibly efficient through exploiting thier employees, but also by systematically destroying competition, and using thier marketplace to unfairly favor thier own products.

It’s techno-feudalism, here’s a great presentation/interview about it:

Thank you for the info!
