Isn't it kind of sad that we seem to have stopped writing science fiction that has any hope of a successful future? The moral of the story with Edgar seems to be to never leverage technology to do anything at all.

No, Neorg does not use the same markup as Org-mode. They use their own specification that is specifically designed to be different from Org-mode spec. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvim-neorg/norg-specs/main...

I appreciate the idea of having an org-mode equivalent in Vim, but man do the docs suck for this project. Lots of broken links, very hard to discover how to actually hit the ground running. I hate this trend of having video explainers befor

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned SDF yet. http://sdf.org/ They're an org with a super long legacy in the technology / linux server space and they offer a unix shell for free. It's a great starting plac

There's also ListenBrainz, run by the MusicBrainz org, which offers similar functionality without API restrictions or other paid features that Last.FM tries to push. https://listenbrainz.org/ If you wish to use your sc

This won't make a major difference for consumers, especially in the app stores. Even if Apple opened the flood gates with no restrictions for alternative stores on their platform, little if anyone is going to migrate away from the App

Have you looked at other high quality toaster makers abroad? Dualit is in the UK and has been manufacturing high quality, hand built toaster for a long time, but most consumers would balk at the prices they ask for their appliances and I do

I was watching a friend use Siri the other day (I've never used an iPhone) and I was blown away by how much it could accomplish in comparison to Google Assistant. He said he used Siri as the default way of interfacing with his phone, w

Barely relevant to the article, but this new trend of AI art as the main image of blog articles drives me absolutely crazy - if you don't have a clear main image in mind when you wrote the article, don't waste my bandwidth downloa

It's not an easy thing; frankly, if I have to back convert to prior times when the Calendar was still in use, you have to just swallow the pill However, if using the calendar in day to day life, the Revised System is much easier. To qu

I also use Decimal Time and the French Republican Calendar as my default calendar and time method. The mental math to convert back to "standard" time and date is very easy once you get the hang of it, and I think it's good pr

I mean, you could use pass, which stores all your passwords in a gpg encrypted file. It works very well out of the box with syncthing, or anything else that can move around files, like git-annex. https://www.passwordstore.org&#x2

I've been using Plex for this purpose and it's been great. I self-host it on a NAS server, but I'm noticing a number of consumer products coming out with the server pre-installed (Namely the NVIDIA Shield). If you're wil

I'm always frustrated when this article appears. There are a lot of things wrong with PGP but the reason it sticks around isn't some weird tech-lovelorn for it, it's because it works. Some minor retorts: 1. PGP isn't tha
