Obsidian vs emacs. No "one off spell checker" like aspell that I can run from within Obsidian.

I suspect this is a trade off related to Obsidian's "heavier weight" plugins. it is easier to get a plugin released in emacs. Also emacs has the weight of history. Also emacs can use shell commands easier

So writing ellipsis like this in your documentation is how you make documentation pepole can't understand. Concrete examples that run are what I want...

This is what I'm trying to do in my ffmpeg beginner's cookbook.

Using certain websites and my phone in black and white is quite interesting. I feel like colour does attract one's attention is a different way... and perhaps that there is a little bit of joy attention / dopamine from colourful things.

Seems kind of cool. I have this philosophy where I like my tools to do one thing well and as much of something else as possible - so being able to access obsidian notes from the command-line seems kind of cool.
Do you use Obsidian for taking notes? You will like this 🖤

More ricing posts. I got bored of using the KDE gui to create shortcuts so worked out how to do create keyboard shortcuts from the command line.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

A problem I found with the "collect / review" pattern that is suggested in GTD is that the reviewing tends not to get done. Instead, I've found a pattern of creating reminders for a future date and then "pushing back these reminders" if you are busy is a better approach.

I used to stubbornly call X twitter. Now I'm considering starting call it X since between morally bluesky is "twitter".

Thoughts of why javascript sucks. Typescript (transpilation is a good way of getting bugs, and the "platforms" that you support are complicated); loads of old browsers to support; rapid (ish) change; non-unixy philosophy in tools; tight couple of vscode and typescript. package.json.
