humble bundle at one point sold a bundle with the works of U K Le Guin, and since i’ve been meaning to read those, i bought it

all were under amazon DRM

i’m a big fan of being able to do whatever the hell i want with the things i buy so naturally, i got mad and looked for a way to un-DRM them, and i’m happy to say there’s a calibre plugin for that. i’m currently enjoying Wizard of Earthsea on my reMarkable

it is fantastic for both lil notes and grand projects! and you can even link to those little notes and slowly evolve them into a grand projects

you can basically create a personalised Wikipedia! and Obsidian will help you with it, as it can detect when you write in plain text a word or phrase that also is another note’s title, then you just click and bam, it’s linked. And if you change a note’s title, all mentions will update too!

you can also make conspiracy boards with the canvas note type, all usual formatting works within them

it’s a great tool to keep a lot of information organised and linked together, without having to open a billion files and cross reference them (you can also open notes in split screen).

learning how to use it will only take an hour or so, and then you’ll be zooming

i’ve recently been using it to collect and organise information for a big project i’m working on, and being able to link mentions of things to bigger topics and themes as i’m doing the data collection is just wonderful, no more “(IMPORTANT LOOK HERE!!!)”

working really hard on shaking people by the shoulders through the internet

people will already ignore half the questions you ask in an e-mail even if you make them into bullet points

ahh, neat!

??? they had 2 tours that were supposed to be “the last one” already

there’s also the problem of techbros and companies everywhere thinking that AI is omniscient and can replace every other profession. who needs a human journalist when you can train an AI on their work (because they work for you and their work is your property ofc) and then just fire them all because you have a perfect AI that you can just set to run forever without checkig its work and make infinite money :)

where “/s”

put a triple the height column right there - luck to get an interview in the first place. You’re lucky if an actual human reads your CV nowadays, instead of an AI fishing for keywords

guess they realised Instagram isn’t ohio skibidi amongst younger generations and decided to rizz the kids with a thing that looks new but is the same

ah, nevermind

yeah exactly, maybe he’ll find something useful along the way. At least the rich have (hopefully) stopped their usual “youth restoring” rituals like bathing in infant blood

a game can be good and have predatory gambling mechanics inside of it. in fact making a game people want to play more of, enables those mechanics to work on a larger number of people

it’s fascinating how the “top selling” that is measured by “gross revenue” has so many “free to play” games on the top. ahhh the aggressive gambling tactics

chances are they’d scam children if they had any money. Scum like that target easy victims

it’s like a special category of words idk, grammar theory is my weakest point

data can be one point of data, and data can be many points of data

yeah don’t worry, i’m not either, everyone learns at some point! :)

data is already a plural word friend! “datas” is confusing to read

honestly maybe when we portray it to the billionaires that Earth is the only place where we can make children they’ll stop fantasising about terraforming Mars and perhaps helps with the mess already here

this is not about wanting this is about companies taking advantage of vulnerable people who should be grieving. This can cause lasting psychological harm

you might as well be saying, if someone came to a drug maker, and wanted some heroine, and provided ingredients for heroine, and agreed to whatever costs were involved, isn’t that entirely their business?
