Seconding magit, emacs is an awesome ecosystem well worth learning, and magit is fantastic. I recommend doom emacs - the greatness of vim keybinds for editing with the greatness of the emacs ecosystem

What are you even talking about not having a choice? I agree Google is awful, but even on pixel phones you can change most aspects of it - definitely including your browser/search app and engine. Just switch to Firefox and/or use duckduckgo, or any of the other browsers and search engines that are readily available. I haven’t used chrome in years, but if you’re a chromebro I’m pretty sure it supports changing the search engine too.
If your launcher doesn’t support changing your search engine/app in a built-in search bar, throw a different browser widget up on your home screen or get a new launcher with a better app/web search widget, unless you got your phone from work or something with restrictions in place you can easily swap out your launcher for a 3rd party one. I personally use Niagara launcher and like it a lot, if you want a more traditional launcher there’s KISS (It’s also foss), and launchair

Highly recommend getting on the national do not call list https://www.donotcall.gov/ . Doesn’t stop all spam calls, but it shrunk the amount I got at least

Normal phone number + carrion is decent

Only if you’re commenting as much as a bot, probably wouldn’t be any more power usage than opening up a poorly optimized website tbh

Have you tried QOwnNotes? I haven’t used it but I’ve seen it, looks like it ticks everything you want.

I would also highly recommend logseq, org-roam, or vimwiki. For mobile support, definitely use syncthing (logseq has a paid sync feature, but it’s not worth it over self-hosting syncthing imo. It’s easier technically speaking, but syncthing is pretty easy too)

Logseq - I use this now, primarily because the mobile app is as great as the desktop version. Links, tasks, etc are all smooth and I love the workflow. Only reason I don’t think you’d like it is you can’t really have your own defined dir structure.

Org-roam - uses .org files that have their own syntax and such, also foss and non-proprietary though. I used it for a while because the emacs ecosystem is very robust and I use emacs a lot. Primary downside to this system is mobile support hurts, I used OrgNote for a while but just didn’t like it much. (If you go this route, highly recommend using doom emacs instead of just vanilla. Vim keybinds are the best keybinds)

Vimwiki - uses vim keybinds, love it. Same issue as org-roam though, mobile support makes me cry. There are plenty of foss mobile md editors, but none of them feel good. You can use this as a wiki via GitHub and have access to it from any web browser and make edits there as well, but it wasn’t a very pleasant workflow personally.

Great flour, consistent every time, no filler or weird blends like others might have, great recipes, employee owned, etc.

They also have gluten-free flours (both measure for measure and straight up) and good recipes for them. I’m not gluten free but I have a friend that is and the chocolate cake I made them with their flour and recipe was one of the best gluten free cakes there ever had (it’s better than some gluten cakes I’ve had tbh)

There was a post earlier asking for slurs for beginners in a hobby that buy the top of the line stuff for the hobby. Don’t cheap out on starter gear, but don’t go for top of the line right out of the gate either

My MIL likes to pull out the phrase “indoctornated” anytime a doctor/vet/educated professional disagrees with her hardcore plant based diet views for all people and animals

Pickling and canning is better than refrigeration - until opened

My CTO thoroughly believes that within 4-6 years we will no longer need to know how to read or write code, just how to ask an AI to do it. Coincidentally, he also doesn’t code anymore and hasn’t for over 15 years.

Ideal date - the beginning of time. I’m partial to Jan 1st 1970. All my homies love integer dates since the epoch.

Donations and fundraisers are tax deductible, it doesn’t actually cost the rich anything to donate to them

Housing values are extremely artificially inflated right now though. Housing prices have gone up at least 30-50% in a lot of areas since 2019, even non-updated poorly maintained houses are up that amount.

From the book algorithms to live by

I check my work and personal emails once per day. Work ones are usually all just hr spam, sometimes something I need to know about in advance but it’s rare. Personal I would check less often but if I get any emails about attempts to access accounts, job interviews, etc it’s nice to be semi up to date. I also only open physical mail once per month, unless it’s something that is urgent (almost never) l

I also get through my sprint jira tickets in order from fastest to slowest (assuming all have similar priority) to take advantage of something called 2 machine scheduling. It decreases the overall wait time for the tickets. If I do a 2 day task then a 1 day task, the wait on the 2 day task is 2 days and the 1 day task is 3 days, so 5 days of wait total, in the other order 2 day task has 1 day of wait, 2 day task has 3 days for 4 days total. It honestly doesn’t change a whole lot, but it allows whoever needs to QA my tasks to get started faster and have stuff to do while I’m working too rather than extra downtime (normally not an issue because the department I’m doing a lot of work for currently is over 2 weeks behind though)

The theater teacher was caught having sex with a student in the theater, got proof from his phone that he had done it plenty of other times with other kids too.

Also some football players abused Adderall to give them an edge while playing, one died and another got brain damage and will never walk again.

A nearby highschool’s waterpolo coach was caught having sex with students too.

Come to the vim side, we have y for copy (yank) and p for paste. We even have d for cut

He is partially right - there are people making a lot of money from climate change… Or at least from causing it

I like to say enhance before opening the full file from a thumbnail in feh when showing my wife pictures. She hates it and I will not stop

Wait… So, you’re telling me… Raising prices and lowering quality is… Bad for business? But it looked so good on the spreadsheets and our shareholders were happy!
