"Not learning from history because the present is the present" is a pretty accurate description of the world in 2026, at least.

Finally someone brings this place the explicit toxicity it had been missing all those years. /s

If you're on HN and you look in the comments and can't tell who the toxic one is, it's you.

I believe the argument is that introducing personal aspects like this friend foe business inherently serves to increase argumentative bias and reduce quality of discussion. personally this seems like a slop project either way , so regardless as to how beneficial it could be, I'm still going to behave toxically towards it - if you really love or hate someone so much , you would have memorized their name already !

yeah it's another game entirely, first there are 2 camps and then more and more... but that has nothing to do with a discussion anymore

I would be more worried charging that huge home built battery pack. I'm sure OP knows what he's doing, but I wouldn't want to bet my house on it.

fwiw, works fine in my Firefox in reader mode

Now we only need tiny drones that locate those glasses, grab them and drop them on the nearby street.

Looks like there is also a shorter essay version that came out before the book https://flugschriften.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/flugsch...

edit: The essay is from 2020

I wish I had that much typing to do that I could rationalize the expense of such a fancy keyboard :D

Also, unfortunately for the high price point it's too hard to actually try those out somewhere. Maybe works if you have friends, but I'm not going to spend hundreds on sth only to find out it doesn't work for me after half an hour. There's probably an option to send sth back, but even that is going to be a nightmare with small vendors.

Obsidian is very flexible, and what a lot of these "how I use Obsidian" tutorials miss is to give a reason why the person is actually using it the way they are using it. Seems like this guy is using it mostly to store meeting notes or journaling. Of the many influencery Obsidian tutorials on Youtube, 99% of them seem to be using it to keep notes for creating Obsidian tutorials.

Would be interesting to have differing perspectives from people with different problems and how they use it for those cases.

I manage project documentation for work + personal projects using it. So I tend to have one folder per project with very little linking across folders. Then I have a personal folder that contains all non work stuff with varying degrees of structure, then a junkyard folder on the root where new notes that dont currently have an obvious category go, and if i come back to them they get sorted.

You don't think those exist? Obsidian forum has a lot of individual use-cases and more than a couple academics. erazlogo's public vault was as influential to me on how I use it as K. Healy's exposition of his use of R in emacs.

It’s great for sheet music and for DnD DMing. I also use it store all things I write. I don’t use links though, I’m a barbarian who uses folders and canvases
