Logseq is a great alternative. It's very much not a clone, though. It has a different paradigm on how it views notes and the functionality isn't exactly 1:1.
It's tricky for sure. The plain text is great, and all the functionality is built off of plain text (even the canvas!), but replicating the functionality isn't trivial by any stretch of the imagination. Migration is easier because of the text files, but will it be as easy to see the links between notes? Or query all the notes I need more detail in? Or map it all out visually?
I think reimplementing the core obsidian functionality in a FOSS clone would be fun... except I already have a queue of projects and not a lot of time, so here I am complaining instead 🤷
It's a good philosophy, to be sure. It doesn't take many migrations to realize that keeping your files in open, easy to read formats is preferable.
I also use obsidian, but I do sometimes worry that the linking and metadata will be difficult to work with in the future when the software goes away. It's all there in the files, but my vault is slowly linking together in interesting ways that rely on obsidian functionality.
Uh, I kind of assume you're trolling at this point since a) you got notably more unpleasant in a hurry, and b) if you think exes work the same way every time you have lived a weirdly blessed life.
I hope you sort out your package management problems sometime but this has clearly gotten unproductive. Cheers!
The discover store comes with KDE nowadays. GNOME has a similar store. Most recommended distros will preinstall one of those two. Ubuntu has a similar snap store, I think.
I guess the steam flatpak is unofficial. Works, though. Very simple, lazy solution. Could have gone through the fedora repos, too, where they've gone through the effort of repacking the deb for their users.
Dunno what your package manager problem is. Don't even know what you're running. Mine works fine, and certainly better than the windows store 🤷
Appimages sure aren't recognized as system apps. They're basically like an exe on windows. I'd rather manually add my rare appimage to the menu than go through the installer hell windows has.
Your point seems a little silly because, honestly, my experience is that developers have largely made the Linux desktop experience so simple and stable that it works better than any windows machine I've used in the past decade. I'm sorry this hasn't been your experience, but in the last couple of years I've pretty much only needed to open the terminal because I want to, not because I need to.
I installed steam by going into my discover app, searching for steam, and clicking install. This is how I get most things, excepting a few appimages I downloaded that just work. I change my settings via GUIs that came with KDE. The only extra configuration GUIs I installed were pavucontrol (just like it for some reason) and protontricks (for doing weird stuff with games most people never need to do).
I don't know what distro/de/wm you're using right now but what you're saying doesn't need to be the case. Linux desktop is honestly working better than windows for me lately.
It's basically that, but with what sounds like some functionality to make them easier to create and find for users of their app/server/API.
The couple I've seen boost my posts in the wild seemed more like bot accounts that just boosted what they saw in the hashtags I used, but it sounds like some of them are probably a bit more curated.
I've happily paid $70 CAD for games significantly shorter and smaller in scope than Shadow of the Erdtree looks. Plus I'm wanting to jump back into Elden Ring anyways and I more than felt like I got my money's worth the first couple of times. So $56.16 CAD (what my receipt says it cost me) is pretty much fine for that.
This might be a weird take, but I don't really care whether I'm paying for a new game, a DLC, a microtransaction, or even a gacha pull. If it seems like it's somehow worthwhile, whether that's by fun or hours played or novelty or whatever, I don't really worry that much about what form it takes. This usually means I just buy new games (how often is a microtransaction at all reasonable to pay for?) but I don't really worry about DLC pricing if it looks good.
Honestly? I just let the hype train roll me into the steam store. Not gonna pretend it was a smart decision, certainly not gonna advise anyone else do it.
What were the serious technical flaws at launch? I remember some performance issues but nothing super serious.
SMTV nailed the general gameplay for me better than any other SMT or Persona game, so I'm interested in better performance on PC and what looks like a semi-functional story. Despite all its flaws I've been wanting to play through again, this would make that feel less wasteful.
... But I do wish I didn't need to rebuy the whole game.
Every time I spend four hours figuring out how to get one tiny little thing working better in vim I find another even smaller issue that I desperately need to dig in to, and thus my actual personal projects never get worked on. I should just give up and call "tweaking my vimrc" a hobby.
I finished playing through with a friend a few weeks ago. Act 3 wasn't notably more buggy than the rest of the game for us, and most bugs we came across were fixed by a quick restart anyways.
Great game, highly recommend even if it's probably overhyped to some extent. We clocked over 100 hours in our playthrough and still want to keep playing.
This is true every year, but this year is especially bad because it's been warm and dry for most of the winter. There's usually a few holdovers, not dozens, and especially not so many that actually need some type of response.
Man, OSRS dodging most of the scummy monetization has been fantastic and has contributed greatly to it being relatively lively for so long. I can't imagine a new owner won't want to extract every possible drop of value from it, especially an investment firm.
I think this article starts with an interesting premise (basically: RSS works to support podcast content creators, how can we make it work for written content creators?) and... misses the point.
Podcasts can make a lot of money off of sponsors and advertising that listeners are less likely to skip over. Maybe you're busy doing something else when the ad comes on, maybe you don't clue in that it's an ad right away, maybe you just don't know how long it is so as you skip around you hear enough anyways. Advertising works in an audio format.
Text content can't advertise as effectively. Your eyes can just skip over to the next part you care about. Adblockers work pretty well. A reader is way less likely to engage with advertisement, so it's going to pay less, so written content creators are going to make less. Usually to the point that they can't support themselves with it.
None of the author's points really address that. The problem isn't with the RSS standard, it's with the format and how it can make money.
Since release I've been playing BG3 every week with a friend and we finally beat the game on Saturday. Great game, but man we've been playing it for a long time.
Picked up Viewfinder yesterday. Fun little indie puzzler. Very cool concept, don't know how much I care about the plot or anything but it's got some of the same trippy fun as Superliminal.
Oh, and I played a couple hours of Against the Storm and have been hesitant to pick it up again because I'm pretty sure it's going to be problematic for my already busy schedule.
