I use it as a work journal and personal knowledge management (PKM). Each day I open a daily journal note (built from a template with an easy shortcut) that contain rough notes on what I did that day. From that note I link over to project notes for any project I worked on or complex issues, scratch notes, etc. I do split windows, one with a narrow view of the daily note and then a larger panel for content notes (like documenting the project or create a scratch note or searching for a note on a problem I had 2 years ago that I need to remember about). There are many useful plugins but Templater and “Various Complements” are my favorite. Templater allows me to configure a template for any note I want to configure, so I can create a new note then hit a shortcut that will prompt me for a page title and auto fill the note with my template (that includes tags, headings, etc) for a meeting or new project or scratch note. Templater can also organize the note and move it around on my filesystem. Various Complements plugin allows me to build a dictionary of anything I want that will then fill in like an IDE when I’m typing in a note. So I use it for all my coworker names, I type 4 letters of someone’s name and it pops up suggestions where I can tab-complete their full name.

It’s truly a great program, better for me than all the others I’ve tried: OneNote, TiddlyWiki, DocuWiki, Dendron, and emacs. I used TiddlyWiki for years and had to bend it to my will in many wonky ways, then Obsidian came around and did 90% what I wanted out of the gate and the 3 or 4 plugins I use did the rest. I’ve been using it for a few years now.

And how do they still fucking suck at searching for files. I can’t find shit without the Everything app

Yeah good point, adds $10-$30 on top of rpi

After some light searching, am I missing something? I don’t see n100 cheaper than rpi 5

I got into my account the other day, it had a shit password from when I was a kid and no way for me to change it. Their web portal was barely functional.

Got any highlights of things you had to adjust to?

Ok I can see that secondary impact. This is the reality is unless someone else is willing to run a big instance and accept the legal risk. To everyone complaining: first are you even donating to your instance, and second, willing to give a lot more $$$ to support them if there was a legal problem. I doubt they would.

You aren’t on the lemmy.world server so why does it matter to you?

I still think Wirecutter is testing and better than the fake review sites but yeah I’d agree that I think they tip the scales from time to time.

One example, Fitbit has been their fitness watch recommendation forever and their charge watches have been ewaste garbage for years.

What happened to serious eats?

I like that even if Google does something I don’t like I can install my own launcher. Or buy a different device, apple is apple and you better be happy with what they want you to want.

This and every single perforated paper/plastic that never fucking tears correctly.

And they have no pull off tab, and your finger nails are just a tiny bit too long and you bend one the wrong way 🤕

I feel like mastodon is doing alright.

GIGA-SPEEDS!! … Such bullshit

I don’t get the response in this thread. All the complainers need to go run your own instance for free and leave yourself personally open to potential lawsuits. You’re not even on the lemmy.world instance, so you’re shitting on admins from an instance making a decision to legally protect themselves, oh and it does not affect you at all. Programming.dev might get sued at some point, or at the very least they have to live with the stress of that potential.

Imo quality engagement comes from quality moderating. Facebook has a lot of moderators but they don’t give a shit about community and their focus is purely monetization. Reddit used to care about community but we know how that went. Lemmy has a chance to get it right. But even if an instance fucks it up the platform is open and gives us options for other communities within the platform.

When I’ve checked the front page it’s like 15 year humor has taken over. R/unexpected top post was some dumb “NSFW” gif with a breakup and a girl saying how she loved a dude and him saying she didn’t give him pussy, "🤦so cringe. All my subs were borked, not worth the effort to rebuild, I’d rather build new in lemmy.
