I believe you, It think I'm also the same; however for me at least, I feel like I can "think" of what something looks like. This is hard to explain since its very "personal" way its easier to say "i can see a square" nope I can't see anything but I can "think" of a square.

The whole imagine a ball in your mind. Now tell me what colour it is. No idea you tell me :D I can pretend and make up a color or go with what my gut tells me which is the most common color my brain was probably trained on.(red). but in reality I don't see any ball.

I found the labeling "potato" "mid-range" and "High-End" very clear.

I'll 2nd this; Obsidian has a new core feature being beta tested called "base" it allows for filtering on properties and other attributes of notes into a table type view, allowing display and editing of those properties in the "base" view. This is a huge step forward for a lot of users wanting to make the jump off of Notion.

I wish we could go back; A lot of googles UI/UX is based on the next billion users experiences. I'm unsure how much influence this has on a day to day design choices they make. My experience right now on a 1440p monitor is 5 visible videos, 2 video ads, a ton of tags that I can't turn off for finding videos.

There are a ton of great UI/UX choices they've done over the years too; I just wish we had more options as a users.

I've done this around the same time and agree. Now google is used as a service (Firebase for example). The only thing I haven't been able to effectively shake off is their Calendar. I know lots of other options are available the issue is connectivity with others.

I'll just leave this idea out there, but https://obsidian.md/ now allows for in app, opening of links, which lets you have your notes + apps all in one place. Depending on what you're doing that workflow can be a huge boost.

The "Web Viewer" was added in this release: https://obsidian.md/changelog/2024-12-18-desktop-v1.8.0/

New comment by jessyco in "Firefox removes "do not track" feature support"

jessyco — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 00:49:18 +0000

My feelings initially was frustration but after some time I lean more towards the general comments here, where its better to remove something that miss-represented the "action" of the request.

I have never noticed any kind of acknowledgement from any website I've visited in years with Firefox and this option on.

I want to do something to help signal "No thank you, I don't want this" messaging so the "harms user agency" feels relevant but if its not respected on the other end whats the point.

Where is this information about respecting come from? What tools or metrics do we have out there to observe it was being respected or not? Is it your feeling or do you have anything to back up what you're saying?

~ genuinely curious about statics on the subject.

I've enjoyed building with SveltKit reading markdown files and processing them with it, into a static hosted site.

Not a chance. The body has to adapt and start producing chemicals naturally again which it hasn't. You'll also have to go through the addiction side effects of the habit which can be hard for your mental health. In my experience it's taken about 2 weeks for my body to adjust and get rid of the side effects... but then again sips coffee I've not stopped for to long.

Regardless of how people are feeling about Apples products, any news is better than no news so I'm sure their not to hurt by the media having mixed reviews. They operate their own way regardless of media. I'm sure if the demand for the products slowed down they may stop producing yearly incremental changes but enough people are out there upgrading from older models (I have an 11 pro and this years 16 looks very tempting to me for example). Perspective.

This line of questioning doesn't invite any kind of positive conversation. Why not ask more politely or even just change your question so it invokes thoughtful answers.

New comment by jessyco in "Developers experience burnout, but 70% of them code on weekends"

jessyco — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 18:19:52 +0000

I don't feel that burnt out is coming from the coding, it's coming from the business side of things. When you're not aligned with the same goals or expected quality of work it'll slowly chip away at your mental fortitude.

Finding balance isn't something that is taught in school, in courses or in the professional setting. At least it hasn't been in my experiences.

It's taken me burning out and slowly and still recovering to find a balance I'm comfortable with. I code on weekends for fun sometimes but the project has to light that fire of inspiration otherwise it's just not worth it anymore.

That has been my experience post burnout anyway. If you're becoming cynical of your job role, or people you work with take a step back and check yourself for signs of burnout.. Change jobs and effort levels and find something you align with more.
