An eclectic #nerdy #weirdo.

In addition to tech, #Linux, and other things #FLOSS, I’m also into #travel, jam bands (mostly Grateful Dead), music festivals, and anything related to exploring the #cosmos.

All puns are intended.

  • I used to use Joplin, I liked that it integrated with my Nextcloud, and the markdown format. However, the way that it handles the markdown files was too black-boxey to me, with the way it split them up in a weird scheme.

    Now I use Ghostwriter with straight markdown files inside my Nextcloud folder. So I still get the syncing functionality, but a more flexible setup that doesn’t require a specific app to access all of my notes.



  • My thinking is, if the normies weren’t motivated enough to move to Mastodon after Musk’s shenanigans, this isn’t going to move the needle very much, either.

    To them, they see it as “hey, they’re making something that’s kind of like Twitter, but I don’t have to create a new login, GREAT,” and not look into it any further. I can see a very marginal percentage that could be curious, but not enough to be that noticeable.

    If more normies actually cared at all about protecting their data, it’d be a different story.



  • This doesn’t surprise me. Most people don’t have the time or desire to keep up with tech news, and they just want to feed their addiction. It’ll be interesting to see what happens 1~2 weeks after the new API rules are active, and people realize the app they use no longer works.

    I never created a Reddit account, and only visited under duress, so I’m not really affected by this. So I’m just cooking up popcorn & watching the show.
