I was looking into moving to Proton just yesterday. I was leaning toward it over Tuta, but this completely kills it as an option for me.

I did notice that, and the other article I have saved about setting up Ollama on a Macbook Air is even more clearly AI. But I'm assuming/hoping the author had an LLM generate it from their notes/Github project.

I also much prefer handwritten notes. The act of writing something down helps it to stay in my memory more than typing it up. The main for me downside is there's no Cmd+F for my handwritten notes.

I read a post recently about using a local LLM to OCR handwritten notes that I intend to trial soon:

I've noticed that most people nowadays, myself included, don't use mics when they play. There's not a lot of banter or trash talk in lobbies anymore.

Moka pot coffee is definitely strong. If that's your only coffee maker, I'd just dilute that with more hot water.

An Aeropress is less concentrated in my experience, and it's pretty easy to use. I prefer iced coffee unless it's cold out, so I fill the collector with ice before I brew. The melted water dilutes it nicely, in my opinion.

Seems to me like people who subscribe to a blocklist that I'm on aren't people I want to be visible to/communicate with.

At the moment, you can do that, but not with an app hosted on the Play Store. I use a git client to sync my notes between my computers and my phone. But I had to get the app from FDroid, because it required the read all files permission to track changes.

I used to fly Virgin America twice a week. That song would get stuck in my head every time I checked in. I still can sing most of it.

> Kobo's store does have DRM, but it's easily bypassed by Calibre

I'd say this is the case for Amazon as well, if you have an actual Kindle. I was able to convert my whole library to standard epubs last weekend using Calibre.

> I've lost more than one bike ride because the start/stop button was bumped on the Forerunner and it turned out not to be recording.

I've had that happen to me during yoga and boxing workouts I've recorded. There's a way to lock the physical buttons (at least on my Instinct watch), which requires multiple presses to stop/start a workout. IIRC, it's by holding the light button.

OK, I'll bite: What happened to the first amendment in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic?

> My employer almost called the cops on me, because I didn't drive in one day and used uber.

What was their reasoning behind this? Unknown car at a secure facility?

Android has moved to a file system model that generally locks app out of having full control of any folder but the one created for the app. The only way to let your app have read-write-create permissions is to request access to the whole file system. And IIRC, you have to get permission from Google to even request it.

It makes it very difficult to have something like a Git client on Android as well, as the permission to request file system access is not easily granted.

> Still has ads hardcoded in videos.

You're talking about when the content creator puts an ad in their video? What would you have Google do about that?

There's LogSeq, which is a bit of a different model, but is open source and has all the basic functionality that Obsidian has.

I don't know what kind of formatting you're looking for, but most of the apps I'm familiar with are markdown or just plain text. I use Vimwiki in markdown for my notes, but it can also be exported to HTML, which I don't use often.

Diabetics don't tend to take insulin in a panic. If they are panicking, it's because they are already low, and need glucose (which can be administered in an injectable form, and is usually only used if the diabetic cannot be woken).

I'm on my second read through of Worm, and it still sucks my time away almost as badly as the first! I had numerous nights where I'd read until 3 or 4 am when I had to drag myself into work the next day (and read it on the commute).

I think she takes issue with the fact that the organizers already had a narrow topic in mind when they asked her to present. And that the topic was kinda stereotypical (You're a tech woman? Talk about women in tech!). I think the right choice is to let your presenter present what they are experts in. Especially since she offered to speak on a similar, but less bounded, topic!

The problem is that you don't expect a pop-under to continue collecting information from you, especially when you intended to close the connection!

I really had to come into the comments to see if this was satire or not. Paper, Pencil, Book. I swore this was a joke, even after I saw there was an actual price tag!
