Ha! Ich hab's gewusst. Auch diesmal alle meine Einreichungen abgelehnt.

Der will offenbar partout keine Vortragsthemen von mir. 😉

Dabei hätte eines der Themen wegen der -Geschichte so wunderbar gepasst. 😩

Ihr könnt zumindest diesen Vortrag von den GLT22 nachsehen: https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/

In the upcoming months, I may add some new public appearances in form of podcasts - that's a first to me.

Currently, I do have two ongoing requests. Let's hope they both lead to great episodes. 🤞

It seems to be the case that I can't log into GitLab.com any more using my native account without activating some third party domain(s) for active JavaScript content. 😔

IMHO, basic functionality should work on any website without third party access. More and more web pages are violating that rule. 😢

@benjohn You could say that this is the way people learn: by experiencing bad things, learn their lesson and maybe change in future.

However, when people actually DO face negative consequences, e.g., with exposure of their personal data they gave away in the public without thinking, they can never recover. Their digital profiles are leaked and distributed among forever. Any change can't fix the issue any more.

It's an uneven game, we're playing.

I just can't use browsers without vertical tab bars anymore. How do people live with seeing only favicons?

@kilian Keeping the number of tabs per window at a minimum level by using one window per task. 😉

I've seen the hype and warned the users of long-term lock-in effects. Then OneNote failed and people lost (parts of) their data.

I've seen the hype and it happened again.

Now, I see the hype. (At least the file format is an open one.)

🤷

If you want to spare yourself some effort, think of starting with a solution with no lock-in: https://karl-voit.at/orgmode/

Given all that is going on with laying off its US and Chile staff and moving all work to Europe (see https://www.techmeme.com/230709/p7#a230709p7 ), I'm SO glad that I moved my notes over to back in March!

If it helps anyone, here are my notes about what I did to migrate from Evernote to Obsidian: https://www.danyork.com/2023/03/after-almost-15-years-saying-goodbye-to-evernote-and-moving-to-obsidian.html

@Colman @x1101 @danyork

Reinventing a mediocre wheel just to avoid the perfect solution for that class of problems (Emacs + org-mode) doesn't seem to be a really thoughtful decision to me. YMMV.

Drop me a line when you want a short demo by me and you'll see why you should not invest effort in workarounds.

All in all, all decent tools tend to emerge into Org-mode anyway.

I'd like to use Contacts on my desktop for managing my contacts, because the bundled suite of does not fit my needs.
However, when I run it, it seems like some backend is missing.
Can anybody advise me what the package is that I got to install to make it work on other DEs than GNOME?

Folks, need some help.

How does everyone store contact information? The full enchilada - birthdays, addresses, emails/chat services. any other info about friends, family, the people you love?

Am looking for something accessible on mobile and phone. text doc on a file-share service? Or perhaps a really nice bit of software for it? (Web. Linux and/or Android for preference)

Over the years I tried many different to-do apps to find one that suits me. Finally, last year I read a lot on managing my personal tasks and implemented a system that works for me. I wrote a short article on my false presumptions and the solution.

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.
