This has also been my experience. I like that it's a small community but their toxicity is much more towards AI or anything to the right of RMS.

Or at least give us the discord feature of "Mute channel for ..." with some fixed set of durations.

I've made heavy use of emdashes my whole life. It feels like I have to eliminate them now :(

Are you worried about being sherlocked at all? I know "multiplayer" is on their official roadmap.

I think it's a matter of time until we see a notable plugin in the obsidian space get caught exfiltrating data. I imagine then, after significant reputational harm, the team will s…

It's *significantly* worse than vscode. vscode is at least attempting to grapple the problem: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/extensions/exte... .

Will the secure backups also be incremental? I've gotten to the point where the backup takes quite a while to generate.

Also tariffs on cane sugar.

90% of the people here wouldn't pay $3/mo for a browser. Who do you think is going to raise the money?

I don't see what the big deal is - Governments don't change hands or selectively prosecute.

Why not raise it to $50/hr? While we're printing money without side effects we might as well go big.

Interesting. I usually don't complain about prices because I wish more products charged, but I always found the publish pricing to just be too high altogether. I have a blog that's…

Oh god. Didn't they try to do something like this in Mexico City and it resulted in no change? Clever policy is always rife with unintended consequences; prices are good.

It sounds like they're not yet at the stage where they need to worry about it, though I've heard Charlie mention making an easy to host package registry as one offering.

An alternative framing. "This software could be so fast, but it's bogged down by having to support every single workflow it's ever once even accidentally supported."

Don't forget that this emboldens the government to define what is and isn't healthy. Something that's worked out super well in the US.

Why?

But didn't you know that social media is causing all of the problems we have right now? Haven't you seen the graph that shows society with no problems until social media, and now w…
