Wow! That’s really cool! Good for the devs at TreeStyleTab!!!

It’s a pretty popular writing software, though you mainly hear about it in writing circles so that might be why you never heard of it.

That’s fair. I feel like bloat would be the wrong term to use in regards to a search engine though 😅

That’s…really bad 😭 Even Mastodon allows you to search by hashtags (I know it supports full-text search but most instances turn that off because it’s pricey)

His apology “for the pain his donation in support of prop 8 caused” was also kind of undercut by following up by calling criticism of his views as a “political litmus test”.

He’s shocked that his support of a political organization makes people think that he agrees with their movement and he gets criticized for holding those views?

Wait why would the search engine be the bloat part?

Threads had no discovery features?! Jesus Christ…

Fwiw this is about Brave Search, not the Brave Browser

It’s pretty shitty for a company to force someone to use a phone app or go to something as vital as a bank just because they won’t let the customer access the website. And there are plenty of reasons why someone wouldn’t be able to go to the bank in person every time they needed to, or at least it’d be extremely inconvenient to (especially for small things like checking your balance or transactions). Not everyone has a phone either.

Change your email provider? Run your own email like people should?

I’ve never deleted my email before but I’m pretty sure that means losing access to your entire inbox that you’ve likely had for years and having to update your contacts, the emails for all the accounts you have under it, etc. And being blocked from the website means you won’t be able to do any of those things through the official website. Does device atteststion prevent you from accessing your email through third party clients?

Also, it’s not exactly easy or practical to host your own email. And for many people that would mean spending money on servers. I read a blog post last year of someone who gave up hosting their own email after 23 years doing so.

Isn’t that a common symbol for all medical related things?

Apple stopped giving their new products the"i" prefix because they weren’t able to trademark it because “you can’t trademark a letter.”

I doubt that they’ll allow Elon Musk to trademark the letter “x”

yt-dlp. I’ve been using it for a couple of years and I’ve never had a problem. I’ve used it to go through and download videos from my very large playlists. Also the devs are awesome and were very quick to help me with bugs/issues.

It does use the terminal though. I think there’s a GUI someone made for it?

I was curious about Calckey/Firefish, I’m even more curious now haha.

It’s completely local unless you specifically opt into cloud options. There is Obsidian Sync but that’s completely optional, and your files are still on the computer. I know some people make their vaults Google Drive folders, which, again, is something you have to deliberately do.

Already??? Windows 11 just came out

I highly recommend checking out the Obsidian Discord server and Eleanor Konik’s Obsidian Roundup. The community around Obsidian is insane and they’re so dedicated.

God I love Obsidian. Especially the community around it.

Obsidian honestly spoiled me with the fact that my vault is literally just a folder of markdown files.

I’m using it right now and it’s really cool!

…Why isn’t the bookmark button working though?
