My dad did the same, and I have to thank him for that. It may have been expensive but no more so than doing some equivalent with video games or the like, none of which would have aided me as much as reading did.

I would actually really have enjoyed "reading" class. Free periods where we got to read whatever were always the best in middle school, wish those continued. I'd just read whatever if I could anyway - and hell, sometimes that

Agreed. Every time I have seen some form of NFT advertising or the like, it is chock-full of predatory marketing, not to mention the get-rich-quick aura that surrounds it all.

Always interesting when this pops up. Spent a pleasant weekend realizing I could understand enough Japanese to read through Nadeshiko documentation and write a few simple programs.

At this point, blue light glasses/warm, low-brightness screens are a preference. I have 20/20 vision and get 8 hours of sleep, but my eyes can't handle constant blue light anyway.

Thanks for this. I wear blue light glasses and keep my monitor screen on the Windows night light setting 24/7, and this is much better (I'm still going to keep the glasses, though).

Student and hobbyist programmer. I actually found HN through the programmingcirclejerk sub on Reddit and got hooked. I like learning new things, and Reddit isn't the best place to do that, so I've started browsing HN more.

Well, pretty much to be expected. Saw that lots of subs that got banned attempted to move to Ruqqus, but they never gain any traction. Reddit as a platform is just far too convenient - lots of people won't visit an entirely new website

Oh, my bad. Point still stands - Obisidian's GUI and the editor in general looks cleaner, and performs more or less the same function. What sets this apart?

How is this different from other note-takers/editors like Obsidian? I think the idea is cool, but it has definitely been done before.

Seconding a request for r/anime - I've more or less gotten the keywords down to find discussion of any episode manually, but this is a lot better.
