Probably Obsidian. It's popular for this because of the linking ability.

Vueling doesn't even comply with GDPR on their marketing sign up. It's a singularly terrible experience.

I would say then you have chosen the wrong employers. If you're working for someone who doesn't see your value then you're unlikely to be properly recompensed for it. Choosing a co…

Employees are more likely to quit than get made redundant. Therefore it would seem that employers are more disposable than employees. You can't quit a job for another job with a hi…

Emotional maturity, physical maturity and intellectual maturity are definitely different things. I was a year ahead at school but struggled because I wasn't emotional and physicall…

Unless we hit another AI winter. We might get to the point where the hardware just can't give better returns and have to wait another 20 years for the next leap forward. We're stil…

I regularly have video calls from the UK to NZ with no issues at all. Might be your provider.
