Whoops, should have noticed your endorsement of syncthing before posting a comment mentioning this.

While Obsidian does save to individual files, the Markdown they use seems to be a superset of everyday Markdown. Eg, being able to use callouts (eg, Note, Warning, Info, etc) and embedded linking of notes.

The automatic backlinks are fantastic. And I've discovered that if I rename a note, all links to that note get updated as well. So no need to worry about orphaning pages.

I've added a handful of plugins as well. Off the top of my head, one is a dynamic table of contents (for that page), another helps to compose/edit Markdown tables.

Also a big fan of Obsidian!

For syncing, one option is to use syncthing.

I know someone (whose geek creds are admittedly well beyond mine) who is also a fan. He uses GitHub to sync his notes.

You piqued my curiosity. Has to go check into these.

It might depends on the AI.

I can't speak for Bard, but ChatGPT's data isn't any more recent than 2021. As it often reminds me.

It absolutely is.

If you recall from 9/11, many people made the decision to jump from those buildings, rather that get burned to death. And by "decision", I mean something fundamentally primal, and not a rational human being weighing the odds.

The drive to survive is strong in us. Fire is I believe at the top of the hierarchy of motivators deeply woven into our brain to avoid.

As another poster said regarding this particular thread, those people very likely succumbed to smoke inhalation before being burned. Not a great comfort, but it sounds preferable to being conscious and aware when the fire closes in.

... I think it's time to go look at videos of kittens and puppies now.

Random thought that's totally pointless here:

If he took all of his weapons and all of his ammo to a shooting range, and if he prepped to the best of his ability before beginning, how long would it take for him to shoot off all 26,000 rounds, if he tried as hard as he could to fire them off as quickly as possible? By himself, with nobody else helping, just to be clear.

Feel free to throw out best case scenarios.

Classic :D

Downloaded for future reference, thanks

OT, but I die a little inside when I see some writing in a book. I'm sure in this case it was probably a student wanting to highlight, but still.

TBH for many years it's felt like most accounts (or at least the ones that bubbled up into my feed) were angry people venting about whatever. Like, the angrier they were, the more engagement they were hoping for. That was a surefire way for me to at least move on to someone else, or to just close the app. Don't need anyone harshing my mellow. The shouty people can go find a wall to yell at.

I barely get on these days. And I don't doubt that it's gotten worse.

Through the marketplace, where there are watermelon stands, chickens in crates, and 2 men carrying a large pane of glass back and forth.
