Just use Joplin. It checks all those boxes, it’s only flaw is being an electron application.

I use it too, but it doesn’t have something like canvas. You have to write them in Mermaid markdown like a caveman.

Might as well go all in and call the Gulf of California “Armpit of Canada”.

The problem is, most people in the world are used to politicians lying to get elected, or not able to follow through even if they want to.

We are used to broken campaign promises, so it’s a shock when a politician who was elected because he promised nasty things actually follows through. If at least he had promised beneficial things and followed through, that would be nice, but he didn’t. You’re getting the worst scenario of campaign promise fulfillment.

Why would we? Even Reddit had a secret salute when it was starting, because it was growing slowly. Something social exploding is not the norm, but the result of aggressive marketing, which Lemmy instances can’t afford, and have no need to pay for.

You should get that checked

When you’re past a certain age, having an unexpected, rebellious boner that refuses to calm down is an achievement. I remember when they were a constant nuisance, so I can relate to the young and dumb guys.

Worst answer to “Is that a roll of coins in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?”

Thank you too, Docker pants.

That sound was the best part of connecting to the internet, like a liminal space

I swear the faster modems also made a bell-like “clong” sound

The canvas built in is the easiest UI I’ve used to make mind maps, I’d surely miss it if I had to migrate.

The community plugin “Google Drive Sync” is free, open source, and lets you (clunkily but effectively) bypass Obsydian Sync. One less server to manage.

This is the attitude. Some people make a community as if it was an enterprise, trying to grow big fast. The best communities, here or everywhere, are labors of love that may or may not grow much. A community getting huge is even a liability that can kill it as effectively as low traffic.

People, don’t make communities expecting them to become big, make them expecting them to stay authentic.

You were working with computers since before smartphones existed, that’s a pass of course.

As. Mexican, I agree with you. The conquistadores weren’t people of the highest caliber, and while the catholic monks were better, their mission was evangelizing at any cost, even if it meant killing people who didn’t want to. Even prehispanic people could be brutal.

The main difference between colonial Mexico and USA was that slavery wasn’t a thing here, because the evangelized became full-fledged catholics, having a saved soul and all. Something unthinkable for the slavers, who justified their acts because blacks “didn’t have souls”.

Mexican creoles, the hacendados, found a loophole: Catholics could still be exploited by crushing, multigenerational debt. That’s why we had a century of turmoil after the revolution(s), right after the century of turmoil after our independence from Spain.

Guess my point is: by the time USA invaded and forcefully took half our country, we didn’t have slavers (the hacendado’s loophole was gone), and definitely didn’t trade humans as things. Your south brought back evils that were gone at the time.

What if this is karma for invading and taking half of Mexico? There weren’t slavers or shittier-that-usual people in the region before that.

Mercado libre is literally the Spanish eBay.

My litmus test is: “Have you tried Linux?”

Even if they just used a live cd for curiosity, it means they know enough about computers to grasp the concepts that make them versatile, and were exploring around the net enough to read about it.

SpaceX is still doing truly revolutionary work, and that usually gets you in regulatory trouble. Of everything Musk, I think this company is the greatest thing his paws have made.

I will change opinion if his dream is actually becoming the dictator of the first Nazi Mars Colony, but I wish SpaceX much success in its endeavors for the time being.

Mozilla’s Multi-Account Containers extension.

It lets you define several cookie+local storage spaces, each isolated from the rest, and from private browsing. This way you can open random sites in the Default container, work sites in the “Evil Corp.” container, Furry fanfic sites in the “Guilty pleasures” container, etc.

With a container-aware cookie manager extension, you can even clear a whole container without affecting the rest.
