+1 I'll pay one time but only if they open source it.

Then you did not understand the main feature of Typora & Co: _real WYSIWYG_ writing MD in various flavors. Don't try to tell anyone a plain editor could even begin to compete - it is about MD being applied while you type and then q

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
Thank you so much! I am addicted to Typora and this looks like it could get close. I'll try it and hopefully be able to switch before it's too late. The idea to make a md-editor really WYSIWYG in the same window is a killer featur

Ok so it's decentralized, very nice. Probably I misunderstood their sync-model when I saw the star shaped network with a central server.

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
And Trilium also supports synchronization (though it would be more awesome if it would work decentralized like git). I'm somehow not very comfortable putting my ideas or research into some graph db I don't own.

It's wonderful just like SnapDrop and I recently found another one: https://github.com/spieglt/FlyingCarpet I love the "Air Drop" feature from apple and I'm very happy we can do this on linux now wi

You are right and I apologize for not reading carefully enough. Of course 16GB is the max. you can put into an MBP 2012. But: Who needs that anyway? Yes if you do heavy tasks like 4k-stuff and 3d-rendering but for most tasks you do with com

I see, thank you for the heads up.

Ok I am sorry I assumed you did - so thank you for not dragging me down :-D It must have been some anonymous jerk who doesn't have the balls to tell me what upset him and give me the chance to argue with him. In comparison the MBP 2012

As expected they did not give me the answer I was asking for: "If you need to reset your Twitter password, please request a new one here: https://twitter.com/account/begin_password_reset . If your Twitter account i

Thank you for voting me down on this - it was intended as a joke and not to upset you. I think you need some vacation.

Same here. I used various other distributions for years until arriving here. 1. Suse Linux: don't know what version but it worked and broke my windows partition somehow (think it was a user error). 2. Debian: very stable but not cuttin

Yes you can, buy an old one from 2012 ;-P

I know but that is not possible in every situation. I for example had no recovery mode on a MBP so I needed to get the Apple software on it somehow. The tool from dosdude can do a bit more. With it I managed to install High Sierra on a MBP

Ok as my domain is newly registered that could be a valid reason probably. It's a TLD and no service like ProtonMail. Gmail would be the next party I don't want to share information with - I know those are complicated preferences

I just wrote a message to support and I will keep you posted about any updates. Just to be sure I also ordered a free SIM card so I have a spam phone for these kinds of services. Thank you for the advice.

What about Twitter? I just created an account with an email but after few minutes of clicking around it locked me out. I can only use it again if I give them my phone number, too -.- As if this wasn't enough of their invasive procedure

Apple doesn't want to give you a choice but you can still do it: 1. Use some mac to download an older OS installer. The links are hidden but you can find them in some forums etc. 2. Create a bootstick - either manually or with software

1. If Ubuntu fades away you can use another distro (if you want it can still be debian-based) 2. Take a look at Intellij or VS Code - there is no need to use Eclipse anymore 3. "Some linux" tools run on nearly all distros and also

OMG! Don't you ever have problems with those sites? Not just security but speed is also something I'd consider. It's time to upgrade if you want to stay secure: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

As always: Victor dictates history. Who discovered America? "Columbus of course!" - No, wrong! It was some Asian Indians and some vikings who did it hundreds of years before him. Nevertheless "columbus" ist still the res

Indeed! Let's just repeat it until nobody can forget it ever again and also drop tax avoidance by these huge companies in the mix. Maybe there is still hope for something we can call justice and probably the money they stole from explo

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. Sony: I haven't used them but considered buying one until I read about the restriction to PDFs. Onyx: I bought the Boox Note and so far it's the best e-reader I owned. The refresh rate

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
Yes that's very unfortunate.
115.
by VvR-Ox 7y ago
Yes they are. A Kindle maybe is for people who just need to display certain formats / information but it can't display PDF properly, you can't write on it and I think it's a little too small (if I am still correct and th

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
1. I don't think so. What is innovative about the Kindle if you compare it to Onyx/Remarkable/Sony DP/Mirasol? 2. Putting all others out of competition is Amazons strategy and they do it all too well. But this is one of

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
I am as happy as I can be with my Onyx as well. The FOSS part would be nice and also the mirasol color display ;) At least you can run Android apps on it and use a shell if you want to.

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
I am sorry to hear that. I really hope we'll see the day someone revives this technology and puts it in a shiny metal case.
119.
by VvR-Ox 7y ago
Yes I think so, too. Shouldn't innovation be one of the things being inhibited by competition on a capitalist market? Wow this looks awesome and it has been 8 years since!

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
Thank you I appreciate that. Yes I think so, too. I bought an Onyx and so far it does well with tasks like note-taking, viewing PDFs and books without scrambling everything and also annotating. What it lacks most is the colors and exporting
