If you're a celebrity, don't just simply send your followers to "find" someone because she happened to be your fan when she was 10. My friend is currently being stalked and bombarded by strangers, and her Linkedin profile is shared everywhere. Unfortunately, she has to use Linkedin for work so this is making her highly uncomfortable.
Not all fans want to meet you, believe it or not!

@andycarolan how narcissistic must this guy be to think that it is appropriate to send thousands of people to hunt down a girl who sent him fanmail decades ago? Mind boggling

Stumbled on this: The murder of the socialite Abby Choi is something straight out of a Chinese drama. She once married into an average-income family. When she divorced her husband, she continued to support his family but when she decided to withdraw her support, her ex-family reacted rather violently. I believe that rituals like these is a way for an entire community to grieve and move on from a traumatic event.

Found Tony Romella & feel that he gets me. Even his vault is organised like mine! A totally underrated Youtuber with an ADHD bent.
ND folks do think very differently. For eg, I just can't do Tiago Forte's PARA system. I have this "out of sight out of mind" thing we folks seem to have. If I stash my files in a folder, I forget it even exists. It gets worse if there are subfolders. Like Tony, I have a hybrid system & use notebooks. Coincidence?

Still tickled that someone on HackerNews called Confluence "Satan's Wiki"

It's funny how I wanted be my everything at first. I used it as a task manager, project manager etc. Now I've moved work-related stuff out of my vault. Now use my co's Confluence to store project & meeting notes for my knowledge base, and my tasks in Todoist.
My vault can now focus on what Obsidian does best - a note taking app for my passions rather than a productivity tool.

@msemochkin At this rate it's a part-time hobby lol

@msemochkin I use the Todoist plug in for that. Eleminates the decision for me lol. However, I am starting to favour a plain notebook for my tasks now lol

Reading comments about documentation on Hacker News is generally depressing, especially when the only answer is bringing up the same framework all the time. Diataxis has become the "have you tried turning it off and on again" of docs.

@remoquete I read up on it and thought ... Wow they sure gave a fancy name to content structure lol
