Interesting variant to the common outliner format used by Logseq, Athens Research, Roam Research, Dynalist, WorkFlowy, Tana, etc. I'm happy with Logseq for now but love to see new alternatives.

As a non-white Londoner I'd say it's far more likely they didn't like the way you dressed or your first impression rather than the colour of your skin, given that the city is one of the most diverse in the world.

Thanks for your great work creating this protocol. Hope more app developers add support for it, especially for privacy focused apps like Signal which by relying on Google servers are leaking metadata.

Whilst blockchain-based domains like Namecoin are great for security they don't go far enough in my opinion. Certificate authorities and DNS infrastructure are heavily centralised at the root level, so something like the Handshake Prot

So instead it's better to stunt children's development with lockdowns and give them early heart attacks with jabs? Regardless of yours or my position however, this debate shouldn't have been censored in the first place.

I'm not sure where to even start with this clearly agitated post. If you genuinely think all disinformation comes from "right wing kooks" you might be in an information bubble. I would have thought at least the Hunter Biden l

+1 on this as long as you're not importing a decades worth of existing notes. It scales really poorly when your graph is huge.

There was an Adam Ruins Everything episode about car dealerships in the US, from what I remember US lawmakers have made it so it's not a free market compared to the EU. I think it's similar to how US ISPs maintain monopolies in ce

Depends the style of notetaking you prefer - document or outliner. I prefer outliner because it allows me to slap everything all nicely organised into one massive file. Another big difference is open-source - Logseq is, Obsidian isn't.

It's a human right to have privacy. If you want to opt in to sharing everything about yourself to Big Tech and everyone else they sell data to then be my guest, but don't try to make it out to be a "fetish" to avoid this

+1 with Vorta as the GUI frontend. Much more reliable and performant than Duplicati and Duplicacy which I used to use.
