The table along with the tableware resembles a face with a hint of dread.

It is subjective, I like the old eBay logo more, but dislike the old Airbnb one.

Interesting. I still get the original response.

Transparent marketing.

Doing the job of developers and managers; AI is truly replacing us all.

I too am a horse denier.

I always deny a horse.

I upvoted your comment just because it had links to the reference you made.

Also, the sketches were funny; thanks for sharing them.

Love it when software behaves in a non-deterministic manner.

I am glad that I never had to use it, but I have heard many complaints in my circle. The most common one being that it changes one core UI or workflow every fortnight.

Imagine the plight of people who just want to get their work done and go home, only for them to see a tool critical to their work has automatically decided to update and now has a reshuffled UI.

Cannot help but feel that there are too many product managers trying to make their mark on the product.

Context?

I used to watch Derek Taylor’s videos when I started using Emacs, and it has been a while since I checked his channel.

Unless I misunderstood “cloud service functionality”, an Obsidian vault can be placed almost anywhere on the file system. For instance, a remote/WebDAV drive or even the Dropbox/iCloud Drive/Google Drive directory.

Migrating is as easy as moving the vault directory from one location to another, and pointing Obsidian to it.

As always, on iOS, there are some caveats as it lacks a traditional file system. So, the Obsidian app cannot access the vault directory on, say your Dropbox. But there are workarounds for it, like hosting the vault on a remote Git repository - which is what I ended up doing. Of course, this is a non-issue on Android.

Obsidian has a help page that goes in detail about what I just said.

As for the Git repository workaround, I referred to this article to arrive at my current workflow.

As an aside, I would like to touch upon my experience with using the inbuilt sync on apps like Agenda and Joplin - both offering syncing using iCloud and Dropbox while the latter offering a whole lot more. It is a flaky experience at best, wherein a significant number of notes never really sync between the devices. This forces me to use my phone to view a particular note while my computer for another. This is where the plain text file foundation for apps like Obsidian and Logseq wins me over.

I too was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon the app a few years back. The licence model was a major factor in choosing the app over the rest.

Indeed, it is very reasonable.

It strikes a balance between subscriptions and perpetual licences.

Beside mentions of Jetbrains license model, I would like to mention the license model of a note taking app called Agenda[1].

It has a subscription wherein the customer retains the software and all of its functionality even after the subscription expires. One may resume the subscription down the line if they see a new feature worth having.

The creators of the app liken it to a magazine subscription wherein the customer retains the magazines even after the subscription lapses.

From my own experience of using it, I purchased the license for a year back in 2021 and let it lapse as I did not find the any of the new features to be worthwhile. I still keep an eye on their updates as it is my daily driver.

That is a very astute observation, and I would not worry about the temporary decline for this very reason.

Also, looking at your username… ”can somebody please find Margot Robbie so that I can make sense of all this”

OP has used Ask the Audience lifeline, which has been anecdotally quite accurate.

Going by the comments, this is one of those instances where the audience is unable to arrive on a consensus. :D

This meme is from an older time when all of this was true.

For all the people here commenting here about macOS updates being free forever, I guess they haven’t really used the OS long enough.

Should the meme be updated before it is eventually reposted? Yes. But should it misinform people? No.

Ah! Okay. Thanks for answering as well as for the context. :-)

May I know what game is being discussed in this post? The game screen within the post is too pixelated to make out what is being shown

I went through the entirety of the comments, and still don’t know what the game is.
