      IMO there is a difference in productivity tools and entertainment. With entertainment products they’re usually consumed and then replaced. Productivity tools you’re stuck with and vendor lock in is a real problem.

        Better not look at the microcode running on your CPU at a higher privilege level than the kernel, then.

          Ok, I won’t.

          I do what I realistically can. None of those programs mentioned are important to me. I can’t replace micro codes and I can’t downgrade to 486. But it’s fine. I’m not Stallman, I can live with that. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t use more free equipment if I would have a chance.

      Logseq is better than obsidian and it’s not even at version 1 yet

        I was so impressed by logseq……until I realized my files are all managed in a database. Obsidian just saves your notes as basic markdown files. That ended up being a big enough reason to go back.

        If that’s not a big deal to you, absolutely logseq 100%.

          It was the same for me. I stopped looking at Logseq the second I saw that it didn’t simply save text files. It shouldn’t really be an issue since Logseq is open source so you won’t lose access to your files but for notes I like the simplicity of plain text files for backup in git, for sharing and for searchability.

            Yep same reason here. I use git for backup and sync, if my notes are in a db I can’t easily do that.

            In addition to those benefits, I’d like for my information to outlive the tool I’m using to manage it, which is less likely when using something db-centric.

          Same. I don’t like Joplin for the same reason. I mean, the encryption feature is super good and all, but if I can’t edit my notes in any app I want whenever I want, then it’s a no-go for me.

            You can export all your already enctypted notes to the plain markdown files without encryption, so Joplin can be very easy switched to another app

              Yes, that’s true. But my issue is that I need to export my notes before opening them in another app. With Obsidian, I can just edit any of my notes in GNOME Text Editor, or vim, or Windows Notepad, or TextEdit, whenever I want, and when I return to Obsidian, all my edits are there, without that whole export/import process.

                But still, you can do it with Obsidian because of lack of encryption.

                If you turn off encryption in Joplin, you can edit any of your markdown notes in any another app without export - like Obsidian.
