My perspective on this is one of a person who underwent years of complex trauma in childhood and my stuck-ness was a series of overly sensitive protective mechanisms that had been built up by the experience. “The illusion of being stuck” al

Harm reduction can still be a valuable first step if the substitution is indeed less harmful. I know people who switched to cannabis and found good success with it. They've since gotten help with the underlying addiction issues, and ar

Completely agree that this kind of collaboration can (and probably should) be done in new ways. I do think this kind of focused work is distinct from the kind of hallway catchups that happen organically that just don’t in a remote environme

I agree that some of the reasons behind RTO boil down to control. But I don't agree that this is the only reason, and I think we need to be discussing the reasons RTO can be beneficial, so that we can have a more productive conversatio

Speaking only about human consciousness here, there’s a perspective that many people don’t contemplate. Most of us feel like we’re inside our heads. We’re looking out at the world “out there”, and our eyes are like windows to that outside w

There’s some survivorship bias here. Not everyone who was exposed to disturbing content is unaffected or can move past it so easily. And in 2024, it’s far more likely to encounter something you had no intention of seeing. It’s worth thinkin

The definition of "evidence" is what then comes under scrutiny. The person of faith believes evidence in the form of 1st person subjective experience is sufficient to justify their beliefs. The person of science believes evidence

This is one of the reasons that I've mostly shifted to "agnostic" after many years of considering myself a hard atheist. The degree to which I still consider myself an atheist is mostly rooted in my belief that if some god-l

“Only for DRM” isn’t accurate. I’ve been using the TPM 2.0 chip on my ASUS based Linux box to store various keys. Tooling for this on the Linux side has improved significantly [0] and it’s been supported since kernel 3.20 (2015) [1]. How ef

Got it, thanks! I’ve been wanting to do some API work anyway, and this seems like a great way to consolidate everything.

It gets me partway there. The thing that I really liked about Miro is that is has tools ranging from kanban boards to data tables to icon libraries and is sort of a jack of all trades sort of tool that goes beyond just drawing and adds stru

For awhile, I was using Miro. The infinite canvas made it possible to start arranging information visually and made it easier to load things back into memory when I’d come back to a project later. I still love it, but prefer something local

I think this is fair, and maybe “Obsidian-compatible” would be a better way to describe it. With that said, there are a few key tools that are extremely similar conceptually, e.g. Logseq/Roam. Logseq in particular feels like “Opinionat

This is absolutely a failure mode that can happen and I think people should be aware of it/be cautious about not falling into the trap, but I don't think this is categorically true, if for no other reason due to the extreme differ

Logseq is at the top of the list and would be the most similar/robust in terms of linking, visualizations and plugins [0]. It’s also open source, and I think a lot of development would shift in this direction if Obsidian ever angered t

I used Evernote for well over a decade and I don’t regret that I did, despite the changes that eventually forced me to get rid of it and change my habits. There is already a growing ecosystem of tools that are Obsidian-like, and if Obsidian

Front matter is still a simple text based format that can easily be parsed by other programs, and there is already quite a bit of tooling to process it. Even without tooling, it’s human readable. The degree of usefulness just increases the

Yeah, it could be a “bad thing”, but it won’t be a bad thing just because prior norms have been broken. We’re already deep into the process of merging modern technology into every aspect of our lives, and in some cases it’s been bad. In som
