Re:Why I Like Obsidian on Wednesday January 17, 2024 @08:59AM (#39027731)
The plugin ecosystem for obsidian is insanely large, and I say that not in a good way.

I agree, just ignore all of that. Plain files and internal links, that's it.

Not sure. The D in R&D stands for, I imagine, development of the business, whereas the one in software development stands for development of software.
Of course they are. Anyone who's seen that documentary about Israel meddling in UK politics know that these people have a lot of power that isn't just military.

The thing to realize is that the map between illnesses and symptoms is many-to-one. Given some symptoms, doctors assume the most common thing (because then they're right most of the time) and WebMD assumes the scariest thing (because it benefits their traffic).

Firefox already does some syncing. If they added rss, it's likely that they'd add it to the syncing (as optional).

I "look good on paper" and recruiters ghost me too.

For those wondering what Chris is talking about, I just tried this:

    using Plots
    plot(sin)

from fresh start, and it's about 2 seconds on my Dell Latitude 7400 (Core i7).
I was just commenting a couple of days ago how ridiculous that the British library melts down when their computers fail. Turns out these people don't learn.

Is this something I can use if I'm using i3wm?

On the video he mentions the youtube channel of the guy who told him about this cheat code.

That code has been running a youtube channel for 4 years and had at that time 529 subscribers. 2 hours after the shout out from a channel with 777k subscribers, he has 1000 subscribers.

Sorry for the OT but this is driving me crazy.

How does "dark mode" work in desktop linux?

I'm using i3wm and I haven't been able to find a way to "press a button and every app turns into dark mode". To be clear, all my apps are already configured to take the theme from "system theme", I just haven't been able to find how to change this system theme.

On android this is pretty well integrated, what's the deal with desktop?

Could you clarify - what's the difference?

> is it to solve a problem, is it to learn something, is it to achieve a target, is it to keep yourself busy to wind down and because you like doing it, or is it to promote yourself.

Is it because you feel the need to keep yourself busy, but too lazy to plan what you're trying to achieve.

This is the weak aspect of democracies my friends. The enemy can put out propaganda, ignorant people will believe it, and representatives will vote in the interests of the enemy.
Of course, I wasn't making an argument that we should make hospitals more fragile...
Isn't it ironic that a library of all places completely melts down when you damage their computers? It's not like a hospital for example who could reasonably argue "of course if you manage my systems my business melts down, it's not like managing paper records is part of my core expertise, I'm busy with other things".
