I hated the idea of #Dataview at first. I thought it was going to add complexity to my #Obsidian vault. This impression was worsened by the many Youtubers who were showing me their souped up Obsidian systems. Now I'm glad I took the trouble to learn - Dataview can resurface Notes that I've completely forgotten about and automatically list Notes I've made.

I like Dataview now, but I doubt I'll use it beyond ordering my vault from utter chaos to manageable mess. 😆

Finished . Loved it. Would have loved 15 more minutes of the ending and watching people react to the big reveals (hi! the random beggar your family took in is now emperor!), but very good all around. Very cathartic.

@LianaBrooks oh dear I just got spoiled 🤣it's ok I don't mind it， but looks like a good drama to watch!

@LianaBrooks I am watching Zhuohua right now, and it seems like the same vibe with it! Definitely gonna be next on my list.

#Cdrama and #Kdrama Fans!

I need more recs for happy, found family, make-you-smile-and-warm-your-heart type of dramas. I don't mind murder and chaos as long as my people have a happy ending. Recent likes have been #BlossomsInAdversity, #StoryOfKunningPalace, I also liked #JoyOfLife & #MeetYourself.

@LianaBrooks am watching Legend of Zhuohua now and love it. Legend of Shen Li and In Blossoms are also not bad

I was cancelled before the word even became a thing. It definitely changes you in a big way. For one, you realise the world is not black & white, and you see the irritational reactions of those who hold deep ideological beliefs when you decide to leave/change it. It's very much tribal. And you also get more empathatic to both sides of an ideology because you were once one of them. You also end up very allergic to triablism & tribal attitudes of all kind.

@toolsontech yup yup. Ideologically homeless almost everywhere 😆

@mybarkingdogs Honestly wish life was that simple where we can slot people into convenient beliefs, but playing that game is exhausting.

@mybarkingdogs Hehe what you said about church communities - my first experience of being cancelled was by my ex-church, who cut me off after I dared to criticised a pastor. I would have "friends" literally walk away when they saw me. The second time I got cancelled was when I opposed the Iraqi war, and American Christians proclaimed that I no longer exist to them. And I thought Christians were supposed to oppose war or something!

Ok #cdrama fans… Which series would you nominate for most beautiful cinematography?

For historicals: I nominate

The Longest Day in Chang’am,
Riyu’s Royal Love in the Palace,
The Story of Yanxi Palace and
Rise of Phoenixes

They were spectacular.

@liztai@hachyderm.io avatar

@AnnaAnthro those are definitely good choices. Shen Li has gorgeous scenery shots too

Not that YAML is difficult to learn, but it's written by a fusspot. :blobfoxcomputer:

liztai, to ADHD
@liztai@hachyderm.io avatar

So happy I took the time to learn . It's going to be revolutionary for my vault. It'll help me create main topic pages to keep track of my notes. I used to manually link every note to a "MOC" but I kept forgetting and found it tedious. This is going to be a "leave it and let grow" thing, and it suits my brain immensely lol.
And how great it is that the
anticipated our annoyance with YAML and come up with the properties feature? Genius.
