What is it about their license that bothers you? It seems pretty fair to me... Free for personal use, pay for commercial, unless you are a nonprofit or a single employee company. Did I miss something?

(I assume you mean EULA: https://obsidian.md/eula)

I didn't mean to imply that fish don't breathe.

The part as it rained down from the sky, to me, means that they were breathing the particles while they were falling from the sky. Not possible unless they were above water (which, granted, is possible for short periods), which would go against the fact that they were fish.

Thanks. Also, disabling 1st party js works in this case.

That... is either very poorly worded or obviously not true.

That said, I can't wait to see what we will think about these fossils a decade later. Right now the news seems a bit too sensationalist to be believed fully.

Re:Use Git tactically on Thursday April 07, 2022 @04:05PM (#30949715)
I do the opposite. Because VSCode helpfully highlights the bits that were changed, I don't want to lose this indicator because of a commit, so I often postpone commits until I am ready to move to another part of feature. Then I use 'git add -p' to make multiple smaller commits, and finally push to remote origin. I don't treat commits as safelines, instead I try to make them logical explanations of the reasons for the changed code.

My safeguard is "undo", but I rarely need it. If I do, I just copy the contents of the file to a new one (ctrl n, ctrl a, ctrl c, ctrl tab, ctrl v) before undoing the wrong path - because any change on older version will break redo history, unfortunately.

Yup. Sometimes it looks like they are trying to intentionally sabotage an otherwise great product. The regressions in UX are infuriating.

Still, it is the only non-WebKit option out there, so there's that. And they at least claim to care abour user's privacy.

Bill Gates? This obviously depends on your opinion of Microsoft, but some of us still remember IE.
