100% agree. I personally haven’t got a use case that fits very well with it (maybe someday when I build a Zettelkasten), but I can see why the community loves it so much. Open source and a great library of plugins.

Edit: Turns out it isn’t open source and their terrible misunderstanding of open source doesn’t help.

I’ve never understood why anyone uses Evernote. Just use a folder with Markdown files. Or Obsidian. Or VS Code with plugins. Or EMacs org mode. So many good FOSS options out there (yes, I know VS Code isn’t FOSS but VSCodium is) that don’t lock you in. Hypocritical of me to say as an Apple user, but I hate when companies’ business models are to lock in consumers. Just make a better product that’s worth paying for.

I like Aptos more than Calibri, but I wish they also had a better Serif typeface than Cambria.

CMU Serif is always a good choice imo.

Times, which I think NeurIPS uses, is pretty solid.

Latin Modern Roman is another good one, used by TMLR.

IBM Plex just looks so nice too.

Does this include Apple Silicon Macs? That would be a bold move.

Yeah donating is a lot easier to understand when wages are (low) 6 figures instead of 8 or 9.

A good step, but seems like spilled milk after the previous news.

Yeah I worked at a place like that, but it made sense because we were also expected to keep PRs small, so a good commit message for several squashed ones was perfectly fine.

This is the second time this month some overzealous moron decided to add these because they can be used for burner accounts, as if other services cannot. People like this are why we as a species haven’t advanced more.

Huh, that’s neat. From their docs it does seem like aside from some scaffolding, I shouldn’t need to write much Rust.

Oh god I feel so called out. I wish I paid more attention to my commit messages but I’m usually too busy fixing the directory structure and refactoring. Sigh.

How much Rust do I need to know to use Tauri?

Without a good export feature, this is completely useless. I don’t want my journal to be another reason to be locked in to Apple’s ecosystem.

Same. It would just feel unnatural to use for me.

That’s why I use Bard more now. I’ll ask something and it’ll also answer stuff I would’ve asked as follow-up questions. It’s great and I’m excited for their Ultra model.

It’s always been a mess. This is imo at least a bit better. Crazy that a company of this size does UI so horribly.

Yes, it finally makes some goddamn sense. It’s still awful, but I find it genuinely easier to find the things I want.

I’m pretty excited, honestly. From my limited testing, its answers are typically more elaborate when I ask it to explain a concept to me, and it also has some level of fact checking via Google Search.

Here is their technical report. I’m yet to read it, though.

Please don’t ever have kids.
