Another win for Canada!

Because the crypto currency industry spent an absolutely ungodly amount of money helping Trump get elected.

The government buying and holding Bitcoin pumps up the price of Bitcoin. This is just the other side of the quid pro quo. They got him elected, now he has to make them richer.

I'm not sure what would make you think the "customers" for an enormous DNA database were the people providing the DNA.

Those people were just paying to be the product.

So yes, I did, and yes, their docs suck (better documentation is on their roadmap).

There's a really good guide here on Lemmy that I recommend instead. https://lemmy.ml/post/25006407

Following this I had it up and running in no time. Check the comments as well, I added some notes on getting attachments working. If you're still having issues shoot me a message and I'll try to help.

Look, I wish I could give you an ironclad guarantee of how things will shake out, but that ain't how this shit works.

The NDP as they are now are incapable of rising to this moment. They need to be replaced by something that is. Maybe that works out, maybe it doesn't. Playing it safe has gotten us fucking nowhere. I'd rather take the swing.

I think being afraid of scaring people off got them where they are.

Voters were overwhelmingly willing to vote for Pollievre, a man everyone detests, simply because he was a fuck you to Ottawa and the status quo.

That 'burn it down' energy has been tamped down by the threats from the south, but sooner or later it will be back (or we'll no longer be talking about Canadian elections), and when it does the NDP needs to be ready to point the molotovs at where the real blame is.

If you can, take a moment to upvote Drawing Support in their suggested features section; https://notesnook.com/roadmap/

I did find that with a very large OneNote account the importer struggled, specifically because OneNote was timing out and rejecting the requests after a while.

My solution was to backup (in onenote) and then delete the notebooks that had been moved already and then run the importer again.

Not even once. The syncing has been incredibly robust for me. It also has a really nice flow for handling conflicts.

Of course, it's worth keeping in mind that it can new self-hosted, so experiences will vary.

I'm using the self hosted version. Take from that what you will.

An NDP minority would keep Singh and the other softly softly types in charge, and continue to offer weak, incremental improvements instead of real, meaningful change. We need a radical, socialist left that offers real solutions if we're going to avert the rise of fascism here in Canada, and the NDP needs new faces and new ideas if they're ever going to win people over again.

Yes, it's all open source and can be self-hosted. They run a paid plan, but if you self host then you get all the paid features free.

Yeah, the potential for real hazard to life and limb is very high here. This isn't like fucking around with your IOT lightbulbs. This could kill somebody.

Yeah, the NDP kind of need to get crushed in this election so we can clear out the dead wood. We need a reborn and revitalized NDP to meet the current moment.

Yes and no. It would be better to say that about half of our Conservatives sit slightly to the right of the Dems. The other half - the former Reform party of which Pollievre is one - are an actively regressive, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic party who want to destroy abortion access, collapse our education system and sell off our healthcare, and would get along very well with the GOP (hence why Trump spoke so favourably of Pollievre and why Pollievre refuses to ever say anything bad about Trump).

And here's the thing; the half of our Conservatives who aren't openly fascist have no problem allying with the half who are. Which just makes them fascists too. We shouldn't kid ourselves about this. Canadian Conservatives want to do everything the GOP is doing, they're just not there yet.

The big difference between Canada and the US, isn't in the quality of our Conservatives, its in the fact that our Conservatives have to mask their more horrific tendencies to get the average person to vote for them.

This is a good time to switch to Notesnook, which has a OneNote importer.

Why am I about to shill so hard for this particular app? Simple, because after Evernote enshittified over a decade ago, I switched to OneNote as the least terrible alternative, and then spent the next ten years trying to find an actually good, open source notes app.

Call me Ahab because this motherfucker has been my white whale for a not-insignificant portion of my life.

Notesnook, finally, hit everything I wanted;

• You can self host it (but you don't have to)
• Self hosters get everything on the paid plan for free
• It has a web app, a desktop app, and a healthy ecosystem of phone apps, with - very importantly - 1:1 feature parity. Everything you want to do you can do from any of the interfaces and for the most part they're even laid out identically.
• It has a proper rich text WYSIWYG editor. It does not demand you learn FUCKING MARKDOWN. JESUS H CHRIST I DO NOT WANT TO LEARN A FUCKING SYNTAX TO MAKE NOTES, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
• But for those who care about that stuff, it is built on markdown, and all your notes can be exported in markdown, so there's no lock in. And you can use markdown in the editor (without even having to switch modes like a lot of other editors).
• Everything is encrypted by default. Notes can also be individually password protected.
• You can share copies of notes with optional password protection and self-destruction.
• It has a really slick UI. Everything works, everything is intuitive, there are tonnes of keyboard shortcuts. I find I actually have an easier time writing long form text content (such as a novella I'm working on) in Notesnook than I did in Word or LibreOffice.
• It builds a TOC for notes automatically. You can link notes to each other, and links are bidirectional so you can track which notes link to a particular note.
• You have sorting by both tags, and notebooks. Notebooks are infinitely nestable, and - this is really cool - notes can exist in multiple notebooks simultaneously.
• It has robust web clipper for Firefox and Chrome.
• Very robust attachment support.
• God so much more, I'm having to deliberately stop here.

What it's currently lacking is drawing support. If that's a must have for you, check out Joplin instead (at least for now, I've seen some talk about Notesnook integrating Excalibur for digital canvas, which would be a superb solution).

Anyway, please check out Notesnook. It's excellent, and I like sharing excellent things. https://notesnook.com/downloads/

But if you don't insist then you've willingly given them your complicitly, which is what they want, because they fear your resistance. If they didn't fear you, they wouldn't need to silence you or shout you down.

So keep insisting. Keep shouting these facts from the rooftop. Force them to actually work to cover it up, and know that the truth will leak through.

There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.

For the record, I use a mouse with my non-dominant hand and I can play even fast paced FPS games like Titanfall competently enough. I actually used to dominate on Splitgate for a while. It's a skill that can be learned. I have the advantage of having done it my whole life and I fully acknowledge that's hard to replicate, but I think that with some practice anyone should be able to get to the point where they can play slower, primarily mouse driven games like turn based RPGs. Real time with pause might also be doable if you bind the pause button to the mouse (a mouse with some extra bindable keys would really help here). Anyway, just a thought.

If those options don't work, maybe look into games like Vampire Survivor, or Realm of The Mad God (though I think the latter does need some rapid mouse inputs when looting, so maybe not so good).

If we're in the business of fact checking Trump's insane delusions, it should be pointed out that the US is not, in fact, spending any amount to "subsidize" Canada. That's not how trade deficits work.

They spend money to buy goods and services from us. We spend money to buy goods and services from them. They buy slightly more from us than we buy from them. That's it, that's all the trade deficit is. No one is losing money in this arrangement, because there are things of value being exchanged for that money.

You have a trade deficit with your local grocery store. Your workplace has a trade deficit with you. The idea that we would ever live in a world without trade deficits is insane. To paraphrase Mark Blyth, if we all run surpluses then who the fuck are we selling to?

Yeah, this should scare the shit out of any investor.

Calibre can also be a server. And you can still put DRM free books on your Kobo device.
