Ouch. As someone trying to learn continental, who found this online and posted here thinking it was a good tutorial, thanks for letting me know I gave people misinformation. Would this actually be English style or is Western style something different? (In honesty, when people use words like "front of stitch" and "back of stitch" and "leading leg" I just flat out do not understand.) If so, I'll retitle my posts.
Aghhhh I despise watching videos to learn and was specifically seeking out static visual guides to learn continental, which is why I'm definitely not happy that my guide isn't for continental. Thanks again for correcting my mistakes. Still not 100% sure what western mount is (a specific way to knit all on its own, like English and Continental? A foundation upon which those two build?) but I did retitle this to get rid of the claim it would teach Continental.
And this is the Fediverse, not a private conversation—feel free to post information! I personally feel the more useful information, the better, and would like more information. But even if I did not, someone else browsing the thread might appreciate it :)
On the "conversion complete" bit: if you migrated your stuff from, say, Notion, did you move all of it to Obsidian or do you still use Notion for some things?...
As the 2024 election approaches, the left-wing corporate media have lost all interest in President Biden’s frequent lies about his life and career. In the past, these journalists have paid brief attention to the one of President’s latest tall tales, but rarely have they ever bothered to revisit them when the moment has...
As someone who also tries to avoid video as much as I can and favors text and static images, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I knew of the Internet Archive but never bothered with its search bar beyond just pasting in the URL of the webpage I wanted to see previous versions of, or the webpage I wanted backed up.
I checked your bio and instantly found the existence of pkm.social. How is Mastodon going for you, anyways? I double checked on my Kbin instance and the Mastodon posts (toots?) you made to @obsidianmd just plain don't appear to me unless I am on your profile. I have been considering Mastodon but I was never a Twitter user so I never made the conversion. And how is pkm.social? I like personal knowledge management, and I'm wondering if the Mastodon community for it is more active than the Threadiverse or whatever we call Lemmy and Kbin.
I was going to ask why an innocent-seeming community was restricted to 18+ and then I saw the description of the community explaining why, so props for anticipating questions.
After the release of JSON Canvas, I was curious how people handle whiteboarding and graphical notes in Obsidian. Personally, I only use Excalidraw because I was already a user of its web version and because of its support for md and iframes, although I don't like how it handles embedded notes, everything else is easily corrected...
Neither, what I currently do is draw it in some drawing software, export an image file from it, and embed the image in Obsidian. I have been thinking of looking into Excalidraw and Canvas thanks to how much everyone talks about it.
Hi folks! After a couple of months of discussions around the topic, I have decided to go ahead and make the first actual anti-coporate community on lemmy, according to lemmyexplorer.org....
Regardless of my own stance on these things, just happy that you intend to have the community talk about ways to change stuff. I'd browse different subreddits and found way more "X sucks, here is my emotional vent about it" than "X sucks, here are some steps I took to make it suck less or affect my life less, even if they were tiny steps to combat a massive complex problem". Was particularly frustrating when I was searching for a solution for a problem that applied to me, even making a post about it, and I got a ton of "I have been there too, you are not alone" but no actual actionable advice. Solidarity and empathizing helps but sometimes you just want practical advice, and given just how many spaces will give you a place to vent, it would be nice to have a place free of it that sticks more to how to fix it.
I recognize the irony of me just blathering about my feelings here, talking about how you are doing the opposite of the thing that sometimes upsets me.

There are very few problems in life that can't at least be a bit improved with a spreadsheet
I agree and that sentence makes me happy.
Although, when I first clicked I did not think this was going to be a progress tracker. Figured it would be maybe a personal project log, tracking start and end date, how much fun you had doing it, personal notes, etc. Or using the cells to make a knitting chart (the visual patterns).
Best case scenario, you're an adult taking a young child to their first stage performance. Although you know proper theatre etiquette, you can't remember all the "do"s and "don'ts" off the top of your head, you just know, so you use an article like this for a refresher on what to tell the kid before you get there. After all, you would much prefer telling them beforehand to having to constantly correct bad behavior when you are at the theatre. We are not all born knowing proper manners, someone has to teach it to us, and once we know we just do it automatically. We don't remember all the rules consciously until someone violates them.
This daffy musical about racing trains inspired countless stage careers, including my own. A child’s imagination made real, it is a perfect introduction to theatre....
I saw some weird pro-reddit content on other reddit-themed communities and then !snoocalypse went into archive mode, so I decided to make this to keep it clean from any reddit shills lurking in the dark. I’ll start by posting some historical content....
For some people, watching something they hate fail is pleasurable, even if they understand it's not a person who will feel shamed by their eyes and instead a corporation that is much more likely than a human to benefit from the negative attention. Getting that schadenfreude rates a little higher for some individuals than what they perceive as contributing just a tiny little bit to it by giving it attention. And sometimes, negative attention isn't always going to benefit a company.
We were conscientious that we weren’t like, “Here are all the lines from the first movie! It’s back again!” We wanted to show there was something fresh.
The musical itself sure wasn't this conscientious. Not sure about the movie, didn't watch, didn't like the musical enough to bother.
Yes, I am not happy with the Mean Girls musical, and saw the original film.
