wfaler,

I resisted it for a long time despite all the hype from people I trusted, but finally tried , and wondering why I waited so long!

@wfaler It’s actually annoyingly good isn’t it?

@davep @wfaler So annoying, especially the closed source part. Still talk myself out of it because "simple is better"

@trevdev @wfaler This is one of those times where I don’t mind too much as all the data is mine, synchronised under my control, available on all my devices and in a format I can use in Emacs or other tools (including one I’m writing myself, which might grow to acquire more support for Obsidian-sourced data).

@davep @wfaler as far as you know*

You can't compile obsidian for yourself to be sure. Not that many open source people actually look into their shit but this would be the argument

@trevdev @wfaler My Obsidian data is a bunch of Markdown files. Plain text. Everything I’ve even written is there. I know this for sure because I work with the data.

Sure, there’s some metadata that’s incidentally useful inside Obsidian itself, but that’s peripherally useful.

Not sure how they’re hiding my plain text that Emacs and my own tools can see.

@davep @wfaler I more or less mean Obsidian helping themselves to your data, but again, neckbeard take

wfaler,

@trevdev @davep Obsidian sending data home has been denied by the developers.

They'd also find themselves in serious trouble with EU regulators if they did without consent.
