  • IMO, FOSS doesn’t do well with cross platform note taking and task tracking. I find it best to have two separate, but complimentary, workflows for mobile and desktop note taking.

    My mobile notes are things like door combinations or pill counts/dosages/spellings, or travel info for longer/complex trips. Things I need at hand and that I can check quickly. I just use the default android app. Or very often just a piece of paper.

    I use org roam with git for my computers. These are mostly code snippets, articles, journaling, etc. Things that are involved to the point I would rather wait for a keyboard than work on them with a phone. Same is true for writing on a desk rather than a pad.

    I do have a few ways to go between devices:

    • I can read my computer notes on gitlab if needed
    • I use Signal Note to Self to keep or send one offs and images. (SUPER handy!)
    • Firefox syncs tabs

    Probably a few others, but I don’t take pictures of my computer screen because I’m not an animal.

    My workflows are pretty orthogonal, so this works well for me. Your mileage may vary.









  • They are similar in that neither are scientific theories, as they are equally non-falsifiable. We may live in a universe where it is impossible to see the face of god or a glitch in the matrix by construction.

    Given that impossibility, how then could you perform an experiment or make an observation that contradicts the theory? To be reductive, science isn’t about proving. It’s failing to disprove. If there isn’t a set of circumstances in which a theory can be disproven, it isn’t scientific.

    Unless you are a string theorist. Then you just say whatever the hell you want.
