Still tickled that someone on HackerNews called Confluence "Satan's Wiki"

It's funny how I wanted be my everything at first. I used it as a task manager, project manager etc. Now I've moved work-related stuff out of my vault. Now use my co's Confluence to store project & meeting notes for my knowledge base, and my tasks in Todoist.
My vault can now focus on what Obsidian does best - a note taking app for my passions rather than a productivity tool.

Reading comments about documentation on Hacker News is generally depressing, especially when the only answer is bringing up the same framework all the time. Diataxis has become the "have you tried turning it off and on again" of docs.

@remoquete I read up on it and thought ... Wow they sure gave a fancy name to content structure lol

Sunrise on the River review

A very interesting take on environmental protection. But, maybe the drama took itself a little too seriously.

I think the scariest thing is I often use this particular monorail line. Usually on Wednesdays. If it had been tomorrow...
Unfortunately one person died in this incident ๐Ÿ˜”

One of the tenets of building language vocabulary is to learn vocab that interests you. I notice I remember the words so much easier because of it. Here's a list of some words that my brain just ๐Ÿ‘€ when it heard them๏ผš
ๆ˜่ฟทไธ้†’ in a coma
ๆณ•้ฆ† judge
ๅŽปไธ– died
ๆ–นๅ‰‚ prescription

Feel like there's a theme in here somehow ๐Ÿ˜…

@remoquete haha! I didn't expect that you'd be interested in my fluffy dramas, but do enjoy!
Btw am enjoying your posts on tech docs as always. Was wondering if I can drop you a message about technical videos and tools used. Currently we are using Camtasia but it doesn't seem enough ๐Ÿ˜… Do you do any videos at work?

I've gone to the dark side. I got my first ever cloud storage/all-in-one subscription service - OneDrive and all it entails.
They should give @chungliwen commission money cos he convinced me lol. Next, Kagi!

@monsoonrains It really helps that a subscription comes with a whole suite, so it feels "worth it" ๐Ÿ˜ @chungliwen

@seanbala Yea. It would be nice to have a cheaper bundle @chungliwen

Lol I am still using a pre-ban Huawei phone. That thing must belong in a museum or something.

If you are concerned about me being spied on, I am already being spied on by American corporations so I gotta be fair on the Chinese too ๐Ÿ˜†

@skribe all I know is I had the phone already before the hullabaloo with Huawei

@skribe apparently mine's a 2019 model? I guess right before its troubles with Google because I still have Google apps on this phone.

I remember the days when I had to travel abroad often, and often dreading the money changing, and worrying that my cards will not work abroad. So I had to bring far too much cash sometimes. This is kinda cool and I wonder if other regions have this. Would be cool if this system extends to China and South Korea. They are currently working on one with Japan now.

"Tourists to Japan from Singapore and seven other Asian countries will soon find it easier to pay for their purchases using their local QR code wallets under a new joint payment scheme.

The countries are Singapore (SGQR), Malaysia (DuitNow QR), Indonesia (QRIS), the Philippines (QRPh), Thailand (Thai QR Payment), Cambodia (KHQR), Vietnam (VietQR) and India (BharatQR)."
