Yeah they basically say it’s true, just not illegal. Great. I’ve always tested fascism on whether or not they were following the law /s

RE: The biggest problem about this is the API definition. Libraries have APIs. But in a completely different way, webservers have APIs. If I say “we are going to a conference on API’s” what do you hear? That we are going to talk about REST, GraphQL, or gRPC, or web server APIs of some type. This is common phraseology. However, one time I was invited to such a conference, and it ended up being about C# design philosophy.

In that way API is an adjective (REST API, C# API, …) AND a noun (webserver API). That’s a problem.

And as an adverb, there is some justification to replace it with Library and others (REST Endpoint, C# Library)

Because otherwise all public functions are API’s, which doesn’t seem necessary to me. Saying a Library has an API is somewhat redundant. Saying a server hosts an API is not, many servers run jobs or databases. Many websites don’t host APIs. Etc.

That might be worth it. Is bitwarden self hosted FOSS?

They have given me errors when trying to register with a hidden iCloud email.

People have still blocked my iCloud.

If it’s an unknown or less popular service they are less likely to add it to a blacklist IME

That’s impossible, the email aliases are under their domain. You’d have to change all your accounts. I’m not doing that again. Hopefully they just change their tune.

Well since in proton the email alias feature is integrated into the password manager (which is really useful) I don’t see them as that unlinked. It would be like having a password manager without the ability to make random passwords, basically pointless. One compromised service and my email will be spammed across the internet until the end of time.

Every account I have on the internet has a unique randomly generated email that forwards to my real email.

iCloud and Proton are the two big names that support this. It’s invaluable.

Yeah but without email aliases it would not be worth it

I did weeks of work migrating every password and email address to proton. Sucks the stances they are taking but now I’m kinda stuck, and it’s still better than Google.

That’s merely an anchoring effect. Mastadon was the first of those technologies, and activitypub itself was heavily inspired by replicating Twitter so it was also the most straightforward implementation. Lastly, a lot of the far more favorited social media platforms rely on either strong content creators or social network effects to succeed, whereas Twitter creates enough bubbles and is less focused on people you actually know IRL that it doesn’t suffer as much from this problem.

You don’t understand correlation and causation apparently, just pointing at stats and grunting without reasoning about them. The effective number of people using fediverse platforms being almost inverse of the number of people using non fediverse platform corollaries shows if anything that fediverse itself is facing an adoption problem, not that Twitter is the best platform for it to emulate.

I mean publicly available stats of 11million users somehow proves your point? Facebook has 3 billion users. X has 600 million but over half are bots. 1 in 5 of those accounts are American. So that’s about 1/5th of the people in America have a twitter account. How much they post would be much more complicated stat.

Here it is being ranked 12th most popular social media.

So yeah, I’m glad we are now focusing on emulating actually popular social media like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. We can have an X clone but why did we start with one?

Can I just say that personally I don’t know anyone who wants to publicly microblog. Like that’s just such a niche type of social media. People want to participate in anonymous threads like Reddit, or post to friends like Instagram or facebook, but only celebrities and public figures want to microblog.

Embrace zettelkasten as your note taking workflow. It’s more organized 😅

It’s insane obsidian isn’t open source, since it’s just a fancy vscode plugin or fork basically (idk how they developed it obviously but that’s all you’d need to do). That’s why I don’t use it. It’s too simple not to be OSS

Yeah Logseq is actually a much better knowledge management tool than obsidian. It’s literally built for that, whereas obsidian requires you to force structure onto it.

Just because other tools use # in other ways doesn’t mean they aren’t useful the way they are now in Logseq. It’s just a one character shorthand rather than four characters. I find tags as they are in Evernote and Obsidian exceedingly worthless for all but the most strictly organized individuals, not so in Logseq. Call them what you will.

A query is helpful when you need it, but rarely needed.

Well I think the first thing is just simply that documents aren’t notes, so you wouldn’t write those things in Logseq.

What you are writing in Logseq is a zettlekasten, which is just a personal knowledge graph. And in a knowledge graph, everything needs to relate somehow to everything else, that’s why it has to be an outline.

So things can relate to the journal date they were written on, to their parent and children concepts, and to the links that they contain. Every idea has at least a relationship to the date you wrote it, but hopefully you can link that idea to more than just that relationship. You want to organically rediscover that next time you make a cake, that eggs are bad for your allergies, and be able to trace that you discovered that at this doctors appointment on this date.

Otherwise, how would you ever find anything? And more importantly, how would you rediscover it organically when researching other concepts in your graph?

Obsidian purports to help you create organized knowledge graphs, but it makes you plan your organization up front. Logseq lets it evolve naturally and organically, by giving you the necessary tools and constraints.
