I tried both and went with Joplin - it was a while ago and I can't remember exactly why, sorry. Import from EverNote would have been a factor (Obsidian may have this too?) as well as being FOSS. I use my notes as a personal knowledge b

What happened to "Windows 10 is the last version of Windows?" (eg. https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/7/8568473/windows-10-last-ve... ) Will the upgrade be in-place as per Windows 10 updates?

From memory it was called The Marriage Course. It was offered by The Uniting Church. We are not affiliated with the church and did not find the course overly religious. The session on sex was the most moralistic but no surprises there and t

+1 for Joplin, I moved over from Evernote because I was worried about Evernotes future and I have been pretty happy with Joplin. It's not quite as featured as Evernote but it is more stable and reliable.

This. I get periodically frustrated with Gnome and give KDE a go and always end up going back to Gnome within a couple of weeks. I want to like it, I want it to work but Gnome (on my setup) is more responsive and that is more important than

I recently moved to Joplin from Evernote. I think I use Joplin in a Zettelkasten way (though no doubt it would upset a purist) nonetheless I find Joplin a good fit and it is interesting that I independently arrived at a similar (though less

Not sure how Govt duty works in India but if it is anything like in Australia removing the battery would make the vehicle cheaper and thus reduce the amount of duty paid.

I have never been a hypercard user but everything I have seen/read about it suggests that it would be a great replacement for my Evernote use case (accessible anywhere personal database of stuff). I have looked at some re-implementatio

Thanks for the recommendation, just ordered a copy for my wife as a Christmas present. She's a horticulturalist so I think she will love it. Hacker News accidental Christmas gift shopping tips?

Apparently I was searching wrong- no clue how, possibly as a result of following a Google link into Amazon. Thank-you for the links.

Disappointed to find out that there is no Kindle version. I actually find that uncommon lately so it is a surprise when there isn't one.

Yep search, search across attachments and web page capture means that Evernote rules in this space for me. Evernote has traditionally been marketed as a note-taking app but for me it is a personal database/encyclopaedia. The ease of fi

"Dismissing the perspective of any and all non-<insert group>" is a generalisation and not unique to parents. Though as a parent I have noticed it too.

There are a lot of really great suggestions here. I would recommend putting all of them aside and read Deep Work by Cal Newport and then re assess.

Evernote does me perfectly fine. I have recently downloaded NixNote for another try (last time I tried it was still called Nevernote). It seems ok so far but nothing compelling (for me) to make the switch from Evernote.
