Not a bad idea. It could be distributed, with innocent components assembled in any of his many factories, and then final mix in the nursery.

LogSeq has other note types; it's just the default is bullets.

LogSeq is about as future proof as you can get. Notes are stored in a directory tree as markdown files.

And, billions of dollars to have lackeys find you drugs. And private fucking jets to fly to countries with drugs, and bring you back drugs. And a bestie you bought a Presidency for, to keep the DEA from seeing your plane.

Motive, means, and opportunity.

Maven and later gradle, groovy and spring boot really made it more fun to use.

There is no better example of "to each their own."

I started programming Java professionally when it was still called "Oak." I was working at a University doing distance learning stuff and applets were incredible. They were also the thin end of the wedge, although I didn't know it at the time.

I watched over the years as a nice, concise, core library of a dozen packages swelled like a bloated corpse. The last core library book I contributed to was larger than War & Peace, a veritable tome just to describe the standard library.

And then tooling like Maven and Gradle came along, and frameworks like Spring Boot became unavoidable, and I found more of my time was spent not programming but trying to detangle some horrible maven build config. In XML. That's about the time I jumped ship.

My philosophy is: tooling is fine, but if it takes over the project so that it's impossible to build the project without it it's not tooling anymore, it's a framework - a platform - that you're locked into. You get to spend your time debugging issues with the framework, over which you have no real control, where your best hope is work-arounds and crossing your fingers that upstream fixes their shit before your work-around becomes permanently engraved into the build.

It's funny to me that what I saw as bloated distraction, a hateful corruption of simplicity onto layers of obfuscation that themselves became platforms needing maintenance and debugging, would have been a pleasant and even fun addition to the ecosystem.

Oh, yeah. This doesn't surprise me. There's barely any nod to accessibility, and all of that's in desktop functionality. A braille terminal sounds like an utter nightmare, especially with more recent, "modern" tooling that insists on colorizing output, or self-managing paging. Libraries like Bubbletea make for some pretty output, but it's downright hostile for screen readers.

This is an old problem, too. I can't count the number of times I've furiously wasted time cleaning up output from a program that insisted on using terminal color codes. And I'm fully sighted.

This is the candidate AIPAC bought. Hope they're happy.

Try it, it's good. There's a mobile app, for Android, at least. It's free; it only takes a little time investment, so low barrier for entry.

LogSeq is nice.

For this who don't know, it's well designed, in that it doesn't add bloat and obfuscation like a DB would; it keeps everything in a filesystem structure in markdown files. What's really nice is that this makes it something you can use with a plain editor, or with the application, or with the app on mobile; the app(s) add a lot of convenience functionality to the basic storage design.

It's a well-thought-out system, and I appreciate how clean it is, and how independent of the application the data is. I haven't looked at the code base, but I have a lot of respect for the developer must based on the design & architecture decisions.

And Chimera Linux (not to be confused with ChimeraOS, the GNUish gaming distro).

Ironically, Stallman himself is probably a prime motivation for Alpine and Chimera Linux, in a sort of "I'm sick of hearing this crap" way. Although it does say something about GNU that Alpine was also shooting for a distribution with as little bloat as possible, and it largely succeeded. For a long time, it was one of the most lightweight distributions around, leading to its popularity as a container base.

I have a feeling you're looking for something different, but: mine is a big todo.txt document that I open with fzf. I just add lines to it and tack on @keywords.

If your needs are more hierarchical and structured, I'd still try to stick with a plain-text and fuzzy-search based solution, and split stuff up into different files.

IMHO, you're starting from a good place (plain text files). Maybe you just need a little tooling for searching and keyword filtering.

Doesn't look like she's watching, so much as watching out. Maybe keeping an eye out for the beach cops, or sharks, or just guarding those sandals.

And because white leather just looks awful.

I think... it took me a second... you're speaking as a religious scholar, not at all about how countries implement the rules, right? You're talking about your interpretation of the Quran, not what the Iranian government dictates, yeah?

She's choosing to not be murdered by cops or angry mob!

My first thought is to add a foreboding scythe.

Oh. Oh, this would have been delicious. It's not too late!

Their problem was using stereotypical Arabic names instead of a slur. They should have just been true to their bigotry and said "ragheads."

If you're going to be racist, don't be a coward and pussyfoot around it: go full Himmler.

It didn't have uBlock origin installed by default on Android. But, regardless, it seems fine so far!

I just started using it myself. I can't see a difference between it and Firefox, which is a good thing because it means sites aren't breaking. But it also makes me wonder just how much more private it is.

I've been trained by experience that privacy is strongly correlated to web sites not working properly.

Well, GL iNet 's router software is based on OpenWRT, so all of their's. The UI of nicer, so I just leave their version on there; go through the "advanced settings" menu item to get the LuCI interface.

Hmm. We don't see much Vulcan romance in any earlier series, except for the gratuitous "sauna scene" with T'Pol in Enterprise. It's not just Spock.
