Pre-warning to my followers: I'm going to leave #reddit for good and I'm blogging about the reasons - mostly because reddit management gone crazy (latest: my #firefox isn't working any more for reddit) & also because of https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/

If you did not already, organize yourself a decent #Atom/ #RSS aggregator and follow good content from there. My blog has also feeds to follow: https://karl-voit.at/how-to-use-this-blog/

I presume you could use Mastodon as a feed aggregator as well: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=mastodon+as+rss+aggregator&ia=web

One of my talks for #GPN22 got accepted!

I'll talk about how "My files are a mess!", and how it will stay this way unless we achieve a collective enlightenment.

https://cfp.gulas.ch/gpn22/talk/ZRKD3G/

Now I finally have an excuse to do the research on the topic XD

#reddit doesn't let me log in using my #Firefox:

"An error occurred. Please disable any extensions or try using a different web browser to continue."

Anybody else affected? Could not find anything with that error message so far. 🤷

More and more #reddit previews stop working these days. Current example: my #RSS #Atom feed aggregator.

I want to emphasize that I've warned about that years ago:

My #filemanagement method using 🏷️ is so much more than just a fine solution for #photomanagement. You'll see that it actually addresses many aspects of working with local files in general:

Did you know that #Windows (with #NTFS) has native file #tagging built-in?

I describe how it's working and why you will not use it on https://karl-voit.at/2019/11/26/Tagging-Files-With-Windows-10/

It's a fun story to read about how #Microsoft fu**ed up this great idea with their weird implementation.

I do write a lot about Personal Information Management (PIM) topics, I did some PIM research about local file management, I love to give lectures on PIM topics.

Therefore, it's quite natural that people start to believe that my personal PIM situation is near perfect.

The truth is far from that:

Watch the 43min video if you're interested in un-learning some patterns we're using for decades although we should use different concepts instead.

Did you know that I developed a local file management method that includes #tags?
https://karl-voit.at/managing-digital-photographs/ including a 45min talk which is worth watching just because I held it while being half ill. 😜

It comes with a set of (Python-)tools that provide great assistance for adding and managing tags, date-stamps, time-stamps, ...

There's a demo as well: https://karl-voit.at/demo-filetags-intro/

I'm using it on a daily basis & I've got great feedback by other people using it as well.

#Microsoft seems to have lost a key that gives attackers access to basically ALL Microsoft #cloud services including "Login with Microsoft".

In other words: it looks like anything from Microsoft clouds including 3rd-party authentication is compromised. And they won't set up their systems from scratch as you'd normally do after a hack.

I've seen the #Microsoft #OneNote 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 #Evernote hype and it happened again.

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

With #reddit basically killing all 3rd-party apps (https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/13wsiks/api_update_enterprise_level_tier_for_large_scale/) I just wanted to remind you of my article that warned about losing all important contributions on large platforms:

https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/

You should think of using alternatives that do not suffer from all these lock-in effects.

I'd strongly suggest a revival of the good old #Usenet (#newsgroups). We've got plenty of awesome clients for that already.

I just saw an amazing video by #TravisAbendshien who told the story behind his #tag-based #filemanager #TagStudio and the journey so far.

If he'd spoken to me a while back, I could have spared him lots of dead ends. 😜

He also evaluated #TagSpaces and he found https://en.eagle.cool/

His preferences are different to mine. I'd never go with sidecar files, one interface only nor with a database.
