For Europeans wanting to remove their data from , wouldn't a GDPR deletion request do the trick? I wish we had real data privacy laws in my country.

@dansup does stackoverflow really have anything that the other link aggregators / ranked forums like lemmy or kbin don't other than an automod closing functionality if you don't have enough karma and the ability for a thread's OP to pin a reply?

anyone have a working setup with logseq (in orgdown) and playing nice in logseq's folder (orgroam dailies in 'journals', etc)? Currently my vault is a mix of org and md but I'm hoping to at least get the org files recognized while I work on converting the md (or figure out ). I tried playing with org-logseq but even though I'm matching correctly on its grep for the folder and I have title properties I couldn't get it working after a good attempt.

Neblib,

I've heard of org-roam-logseq and logseq-org-roam, maybe one of those will work better?

Edit: accidentally made this a separate post, reposting in thread for context.

@wigol yeah the logseq db announcement was a bit disappointing for sure. Emacs 30 being on Android takes away some of the reasons for a logseq as the mobile end of a org workflow, especially if developer interest refines that mobile experience further.

#askfedi I remember someone posting awhile back about a #Firefox extension that collected #RSS feeds as you browsed, but I can't seem to find it anymore in the mastodon search or in Firefox's extension search. Anyone know of such an extension?

Neblib,
@Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al avatar

@Reshirams_Rad_Slam yeah the one I remember reading about was similar to the add-ons that re-enable the rss link (some also add in previews), but instead of only doing that it added any found feeds to some local storage mechanism, and when you wanted to export it'd give you a OPML file to load into your favorite feedreader.

@Inextinguishable_Ravings definitely possible it was your discussion, and possibly (the only thing matching in my notes vault) I might have mixed that memory with reading about https://streetpass.social/ which does the collecting of opted-in mastodon users as you browse. Bummer you weren't able to find a perfect one, but thanks for the recommendation to look into Sage-Like.

I think there's several different flavors of wealth in the world.

Poverty: People who can barely support themselves.

Stability: People who are self-supporting, but no long-term savings.

Affluence: People who are financially secure well into retirement.

Generational wealth: People who can boost their children/grandchildren into affluence.

Dynastic wealth: People whose descendants will never have to worry about money no matter how much they spend.

Neblib,
@Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al avatar

@Legit_Spaghetti there's probably another large layer in between your stability + affluence levels where long term savings exist, but not yet to the point of security through retirement. I'd say maybe "aspirational" level since these are the folks that want to / likely will eventually be in "affluence" or higher, but are definitely beyond simple emergency savings / stability.

People should really try to understand how voting methods work. Math is hard if you have to think about counting everyone's vote, I guess 🙄 (starvoting.org, it's not that hard)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Israeli_legislative_election "both blocs were neck-and-neck, with the anti-Netanyahu bloc achieving 49.5% but not gaining enough seats due to Meretz and Balad narrowly missing the electoral threshold, as 289,000 anti-Netanyahu votes went wasted in terms of seats share."

@gcvsa @enobacon a free, fair, and representative election is far more likely to get one than any alternative. The counterpoints relate to some failing in making the election truly fair, free, or representative of the populace.

Younger GenX/Elder Millennials and I think much of the Zoomer cohort have natural defenses against this kind of mind pathogen thanks to growing up when the internet was still kinda clunky. Younger kids, though? They're fucking toast.

Young men aren’t being forced to follow toxic masculine icons like Tate and Peterson, they’re choosing to consume their content over healthy masculine icons.

Models for healthy masculinity exist. They’re unpopular, because young men don’t want to be healthy. They are choosing to be toxic.

So let’s all remember who is at fault and who needs to change here - it’s the menfolk, not everyone else. Stay fabulous. Get a cat.

Neblib,
@Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al avatar

@Slyence I never understood the desire to follow masculinity icons of any variety. There are masculine people I follow but they are being masculine in other avenues of life - work, family, spiritually, hobbies, etc. Masculinity icons and media, where they explore life primarily through a hyper gendered lens are weird to me. Genders exist but they are just one facet of life, and it's a really weird thing to tribalise on when humanity can express them in such complex spectrum of possibilities.

Neblib,
@Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al avatar

@Slyence I think like most tribalism it's insecure people looking for easy answers in a complex scary world, but we really should be giving tools to the next generation to navigate things without needing blinding simplifications.

I'm writing a longer (as it seems) article on the lock-in effect of solutions like #Obsidian that are using open formats like #Markdown for storage. The file format is not the only thing that might lock you in.

I did already start with a list of arguments but also want to collect your ideas so that I don't forget a good argument.

Please, no emotions, just facts and objective arguments.

Reply here in this thread and I'll collect ideas from it. 🙇

@publicvoit if you only use things out of the box it's easier to switch out. Proprietary sync and publish can keep in non-technical users, but that's easy enough to replace with open tools. Notes made in Obssidian work can be opened in any md editor, but getting themes, keybindings, and file structure / backlinks the same when possible has cost. Plugins (even open) can be the hardest part of moving, as typically proprietary tools use custom APIs and DSLs and devs don't separate their concerns.

I finally finished my initial pack of German made Van Der Hagen safety razors and instead of just buying another pack of one kind I got a huge multipack of many brands. Going to start with a 5 pack of Egyptian made Shark Super Stainless Blades tomorrow. The Van Der Hagens have been pretty great, long lasting (its taken me months to go through a 5 pack), and easy to use, and are easy to find in the midwest.It'll be interesting to see how they compare.

Neblib, (edited )
@Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al avatar

review 2 - Shark Super Stainless blades, made in Egypt, aren't bad, but they are much thinner. They fit in my Van Der Hagens handle, but I think with the extra gap required more inner rinsing of the blade and handle (2-4 instead of 1-2 like the Van Der Hagens), but using their handle would likely work better. The thinness also resulted in faster degradation, by the end of week one side was pretty bumpy. Overall a much cheaper but still usable build.

While you can use a virtual keyboard with all the keys like Unexpected Keyboard, you can get a quick access to most commands via the search modal.
On android, there is a bar above your virtual keyboard. On the far right is a keyboard button, click that. Press the magnifying glass, commands will be there.
