After a while using duckduckgo for everything, my work browser was hooked to Google, and when I went to use it the results were shit, and the ads were just overwhelming. Reconfigured it to duckduckgo.

Life is better.

What did you do about email?

If its going away now, it isn’t quite long enough…

The eye is the fucking whole argument for the stupid creationism. The most complex piece of machinery in the human body and shit.

That man thinks he’s god, to create similar functionality.

Has he fucking tried to keep his eyes open in fucking cold weather?

Why not just use humans eyes outside of earth’s atmosphere?!

He’s just so fucking stupid. Rich and stupid. The shit he spends his “hard earned” money would be so much better and efficient if spent controlled by mostly anyone else.

Paying customers attention is so fucking valuable. People pay for something, maybe if we add ads they will pay for more things!

And most people are surprisingly not bothered by ads. So… Just criminalise the people that are, and there you go, infinite money making machine.

Should wealthy people be allowed to buy education to differentiate themselves from everyone else?

There’s a reasonable argument for not allowing a market of education. And apparently that example is creating reasonably good education at scale 5 times bigger than the US.

By whose authority, though?

I mean. There’s governments out there committing genocide despite the overwhelming population of the world being against it.

What does authoritarianism even mean, in that world we live in?

Look at how Chinese are approaching education and you can get an idea on how to do things at scale.

I wish.

Left is very counter intuitive. That’s why you get leftists writing walls of text and everyone else writing “duh, invisible hand of the markets”.

Your link doesn’t work for me. Is this the same?

It sells itself as an “outliner”. Which is bullet pointing everything. That’s actually how I take notes.

I though about other ways to parse it, but I couldn’t come up with anything.

It would be nice to have another mode for non full outliner documents, if you just want a markdown file, instead of an indexable list of blocks.

I like the diary format, and how the links between notes work. And the filtering and querying features. But mostly, I just keep notes for the days, and use checklists to capture future tasks, and then filter by “tasks only”.

I also write drafts for work documents, but didn’t figure how to tag them, or use much of the linking functionality there.

I migrated from obsidian to logseq and it’s “alright”.

I miss the clean md files from obsidian, but other than that, logseq is pretty powerful.

I also like notion, except its cloud based.

Keep paddling, and don’t look at the people controlling the steering wheel and engine room.

Unfortunately, “society” doesn’t control most of the value of anything. The monopolists do.

So the only really valuable kind of art is the art that can be used for speculation and money laundering.

It sparked from me wondering who’s this “they” OP was referencing to. Pretty much impossible to pinpoint.

And then, I associated that with “us vs them” rhetoric lines. I didn’t even accuse OP of anything.

I just wrote what that shower though made me think about. Maybe it was just another shower thought.

I agree wholeheartedly. :)

My commentary was an observation about “us vs them” way of reasoning, only.

I’m happy for your lemmy karma success!

I definitely do. Wikipedia is amazing.

But. Unfortunately, everything is political: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-wikipedia-idUSN1642896020070816

My point wasn’t even judging Wikipedia. I just think “us vs them” is a horrible framework for reasoning.

You got 1000 upvotes. At that scale everything is a political statement. 🎉
