The mnemonic I use to remember Markdown link syntax is that the square brackets look a bit like a button and then the round brackets mention the URL as a note afterwards:

button

@kate Great idea!

The order is still very unintuitive because there are URL links without descriptions as well and why should we start with the optional part? 🫣🙃

My recommendation for many reasons:

@wodhxnd @amadeus I do not doubt that at all. It was the same with OneNote, Evernote and others.

The real question is how long it takes until your investment was so much that they can charge you what they want or their service gets out of business for some reason.

Rember that.

Did I already mention that I do find it very sad that inline quoting with interleaved style is not a thing in typical business #email environments? 😔

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Interleaved_style

My guess: mainly mostly because #Outlook is bad at it and most people have never learned about it either.

Hey #PKM people, as it seems fashionable here to humblebrag by posting screenshots of graphs: What exactly are the benefits of a graph view? Aren't bi-directional links just simpler and thus more effective?

I'm genuinely interested, so educate me, please.

You /really/ need to write one single request per . Just one.

Today, I wrote something like:

"I assume that we did not do X. If this is true, I'll do X and send the result via email. Would you be the receiving contact?"

I got a yes for the receiving contact.

Then I did X which cost me an hour or so. I sent the result to the given address just to get an answer "I just realized we've already did X". 🤦‍♂️

Never assume that people are able to follow two requests in one email.

I wanted to know how you handle your tabs. I feel that the tab function of modern browsers becomes kind of counter productive.

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

@chainsawriot I'm using with one window per "topic" or "project" and virtual desktops also for tasks or projects.

I name the Firefox windows using "Window Titler" add-on and use the names for quickly switching windows (and ): https://karl-voit.at/2022/10/28/window-teleporting/

"Tab Session Manager" to backup/restore/handle all of my tabs.

"Tab Mover" for moving tabs between FF windows.

I don't sync bookmarks or browser tabs between hosts as I'm doing different tasks on each host.

Hab in einer alten #Minkorrekt-Folge gehört, dass Reini mit einigen Science Busters bei Barbara Karlich auftritt und sofort gedacht, um Gods Wülln, da seids ihr total falsch! Dort geht's üblicherweise um Themen wie "Schwiegermutter hasst mich", "ich hab schon einmal gelebt" oder ähnlich 'tiefschürfende' Themen.
Dabei ist's genau richtig, gerade dieser Zielgruppe Wissenschaft nahezubringen!

I really do love the rich features and UX of on Android, a video player app.

However, with the latest updates, it gets more and more tedious to use it without network permission (I don't use and want). Reason: when starting the app, it either does nothing until a timeout of ~1min is reached or it never passes the startup screen. So far, I still can "open" it when opening any video file from my file browser.

Is there a decent alternative video player for Android I should consider?

: Today, I've extended my-url-linkify() which resulted in a new wrapper my-add-description()

When invoked over an URL, it fetches the HTML page title and generates a link description (previous functionality).

Now, it also sets the description of an ID-link to the heading title of that link:

https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/964826c4fe99a6c293ba7cfaa78fedd239286f47/config.org#my-add-description--my-map-u

If you can tell me how I avoid the manual link confirmation for id-links, I'd be pleased. 🙇

Further missing: check, if it is an id-link at point.

Bei einem #heise-Artikel zu #Apple und #Security einen Kommentar schreiben, ist immer wieder eine sehr "interessante" Erfahrung.

People using #Obsidian (and similar) don't even understand when I'm writing about #lockin situations.

If those services could be easily replaced by any Markdown edtor and a decent sync mechanism, why are they using those services in the first place? 🤷

I'm going to blog about that to make it more clearer.
