Well at this point no-one is really surprised. I think what is surprising is Musks blatant disregard for Twitter as a platform. I’m not the expert of this but my understanding is that a platform strategy brings a range of other companies an

Steve stated a week or so in an internal correspondence that they weren’t worried as the strike hadn’t affected advertising dollars. This clearly shows advertisers have been affected. To what extent remains to be seen.

“While it might be technically possible for us to support users providing their own Reddit API key, this would not be in good faith on our part. It’s clear that Reddit CEO Steve Huffman wants apps like NetNewsWire to either stop using their

Sorry whete are you missing agency and privacy? It’s desktop first software you can back it up and pretty much sync it as you like. Specifically regarding Obsidian it’s just a folder full of plain text markdown files, doesn’t get much more

Charging for the sync is their primary revenue model. Zotero is doing the same. I don’t bemoan this approach that basically gives everything local away for free.

I mentioned my workflow in a separate comment here but I’d say for personal notes yes you can use Obsidian for everything. Where Zotero has come in useful for me is to gather and sort academic journal articles and to be able to feed them in

In practice the markdown to pdf conversion is performed by pandoc. Pandoc has functionality to recognise academic formatting styles (like APA, Harvard etc) Pandoc also has functionality to turn a table of contents on based off of the semant

Oh good suggestion. I can’t get to it straight away but happy to add one. Feel free to add an issue in the repo, then I can report in once it’s added.

I’m using Zotero + Obsidian for my academic work and PhD. If anyone is trying to work out a Zotero to Obsidian to Word/Libre Office workflow, give it a look. I’ve created a GitHub repo README with instructions on linking everything tog

Countdown is on for the 30 June switch-off. I’m sure there is plenty more drama to come as reddit seems to have really lost its way.

Again in this article he spoke that profits haven’t been affected. This is because advertisers have not been involved in the strike. To ramp up the action the community needs to find a way to bring pressure on advertisers to get onboard and
