There will not be a worth while competitor because the only way you can overcome the network effect is billion dollar marketing campaigns. And you don’t get those without being on the same enshitification pipeline as discord.

Well that’s a rediculous mischaracterization. All my problems are capitalism and how it influences the government’s fault.

The difference is they gave solid sound advice on opsec, and your comment seemed more in line with distrusting signal’s tech. One of these comments makes sense, the other doesn’t.

In case that link didn’t work of anyone else.

The quest runs on a variant of Android correct? Like everything else that isn’t desktop, Linux is already the industry stander in facetop computing 😎

The Economist, a journal that speaks for the British millionaires, is pursuing a very instructive line in relation to the war.

For all his problems??

Well I don’t speak British do I??

Yeah, it’s called performance art. You’re not wrong in disliking it as slop, but the barrier for what is art is empirically low.

Jokes on you, putting up bullshit in an art gallery is a classic art move.

Well Windows sales might, but that’s why you gotta pay for pro mode that removes all the ad shit. Otherwise they would lose out on the additional 2/5 or whatever that comes from their ad-ware

I am less sympathetic about it. He says it’s a love letter wrapped in a complaint, essentially saying ‘Windows is shitty because of all the enshitification they’ve done’, yeah bud, we know.

The engineer assumes far too much good faith by Microsoft. He focuses on the idea that Windows was built for casual users and the online vocal power users that want to stretch the normal use of the system don’t like how their strange choices are handled and yell online setting the narrative. His advice boils down to, 'give a power user mode that lets you control the telemetry, turns off ads and searches in your start menu, lets you boot without an online account, bundle all OEM installed apps in one bundle, respecting changing defaults like web browser." Like, sweetheart, I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this, Microsoft didn’t stumble backwards into including ads and locking out offline accounts, they are incentivized to be shit like this.

He suggests in addition to buying windows it having a monthly fee for this pro mode to allow for such freedoms, “because they can’t just give windows away forever hoping to make it up on OneDrive fees.” Cool, I’d rather stick to linux, thanks.

Anything ever come of this creep and his “favorite magic tricks” usb drive?

Honestly I think if there is a hope for greater detach from “The Cloud” more broadly, it’s a testament to nextcloud that folks that don’t even know enough to know what DB they are running are able to run a server, and host things well enough to consider themselves users.

I really like Obsidian for campaign notes and stuff while running ttrpgs. I’m sure the uses are possible to recreate in other ways, but it makes it simple and easy enough for me to actually use it.

It seems like there is more to it, but even if it was just open source Obsidian, that’s a valid enough reason to exist in my mind.

Incredible! Even more excited now!

Looks super cool, I will have to check it out!

I know it’s definitely a massive ask, but has there been any consideration on collaboration tools in the future? Even if it’s not full multi-user editing, obsidian is really lacking in it’s ability to share with others, and those might be a huge add.
