    I think I am coming from the perspective that incessant trolling forced them to issue an official response and that's "snap enough" for me. You seem to be coming from the point of …

    You meant to say dealing with - indirect consequences such as a very late recovery of economy, social habits changed for ever, - or literally keep dealing with this pandemic (resur…

    I love that there’s no open office anymore which I hated. It had nothing good to offer other than saving rent for my employer. I hate that meetings have already started to spill in…

    Are there there similar but open and private solutions to Garmin/etc for h/w and Strava/RunKeeper/etc for software? Some solution where I can track my runs, swims, cyclings, treks …

    10 hours ago they linked a ridiculous and ridiculously short FAQ in this tweet https://twitter.com/GarminFitness/status/1287101514750754816

    Many would just need, at least me, a decent salary for sustaining comfortably (in my case that would be fine in just 50% of my CTC or even less) but a stellar medical insurance (ye…

    A friend who has always worked in NGOs/charitable trusts shared an interesting observation about all this. She said that people in the top at these NGOs and trusts are usually get …

    FSNotes isn't subscription based. I am not yet paying or Bear and I don't think I'd go for it either.

    I'm afraid this came across as an unfortunate and disingenuous response to someone's comment about privacy. A feeble variation of "I have nothing to hide" I'd say. For the last par…

    Other than a combination of fiddling inside ~/Library and some more SQLite circus there's really no way to make Apple Notes notes portable (across platforms) and even such circuito…
