Exactly.

On the surface. You might want to look a little closer.

The whole of London especially the East end, was a cesspool supported by the aristocracy. Jack the Ripper is still believed by many to have been a prince or someone of similar breeding.

Still a few communist/socialist places to move. North Vietnam is pretty nice.

There is a truism. Will have to come back and give the original quotation author, but it’s

“Only poor people pay taxes.”

Rich people have the resources to evade and skirt around any tax legislation which they are supposed to be captured within. Most of them use the corporation as holders of wealth of which they have control.

Corporate taxes are almost always lower than personal taxes for that reason.

Banning billionaires is as likely to succeed as veganism.

Niagara.

My bad. Can imagine that too.

I don’t think that you can. Downloads is ‘protected’ location these days too.

If you’re using something like Syncthing, you can’t connect a Syncthing folder to it.

Didn’t realise it used Bing too, thought it was just Google.

The weird thing is that people still believe in the trickle-down effect.

Musk is due to become the world’s first recognised trillionaire. Putin was probably the first.

Very rich people are not philanthropic in any way that is noticeable.

Mean reversion.

If you’re using Obsidian for free then maybe try the built-in link which you’ll find in the built-in options I think. It’s a cost option but cheap. I think it eliminates the problems I’m having (below). I’m stubborn.

I’m not having problem with Syncthing, bar dealing with the stupid attempts to deal with deleted files that Android leaves laying around. I have .stignore files with .trashed-* and .trash/ entries on the Linux machine. Still having problems with _ed directories though and Syncthing conflict files when the sync isn’t fast enough when I switch between the two.

Sometimes it takes Syncthing a while to work out the best route between the two nodes. Sometimes days. It used to send my packets to the internet before letting them back into the local network. Eventually it found a more direct route between them. I’m not sure but I think it has something to do with local IPv6; I’m talking out of my ass though.

I’m not affiliated to Syncthing or Obsidian besides being a happy user.

I have decent battery life on my Pixel 7 Pro. I have the respect battery save setting on so syncing stops at 20% or so I think.

Deezer. They’re actually starting to fix stuff.

Thank you for thinking forward. That’s much appreciated.

I’m surprised to find there isn’t much of a delay to loading the data from Oz. I’m sure I remember it being horrific not so long ago.

I don’t know, I’m not familiar with kbin at all. Good to know I’m not alone in that thinking, though.

It would have helped me. My instance isn’t in the same hemisphere as me!

This. Make sure it’s a laser, and I from what I hear, never an HP (and I say that as an HP diehard).

Came to Obsidian from Logseq without prior knowledge. Logseq was my first note-taking of any use. I had Keep but I didn’t really use it, cos my data is in Google’s clutches. I’m trying to degoogle.

Logseq doesn’t feel together like Obsidian does. I’m in my first month of use and I had to spend ages trying to understand how to take notes properly before I could even feel confidence about using it.

Templates are a revelation. Dataview supreme. Front-matter a delight. If they exist in logseq they’re hidden. The learning curve for Obsidian is brutal.

I have around a thousand pages of mixed tags and links because it’s not discouraged in Logseq and I have to undo that huge mess. The discord forums are not a good place to Google for help and there’s nothing like obsidian.rocks or innumerable posts helping. There are lots of logseq YouTube fans and that’s where I ended up looking, but I prefer the written word.

Logseq was my learning phase but Obsidian is where I’ll stay. I think Logseq needs the level of financial input that Obsidian gets. I’ll have to live with the fact that it is not open source.

I had disabled the non-open source packages in Fedora software so i didn’t see Obsidian and only saw Logseq. It was a good experience and given my time again I would probably do Logseq then Obsidian, again. I wish I had seen the articles on how to take notes on Obsidian.rockd before I started Logseq.
