It isn't "concern trolling" or "white knighting" to call out racism or bigotry, and expect some decency in the discussion. If it is "exhausting" for you to be propagating unfair stereotypes, perhaps stop your bad behavior?

Let's not generalize, even if you feel like you can say that because you're a member of a group you're generalizing. It's unfair to most of the people in any group being generalized.

Smart documents for teams. Fast, Open, and Self-Hostable.

Basically a much faster Notion.

Thanks for checking it out. Pricing for self-hosted option is the same as hosted. But I'm happy to offer a discount on top of that for larger teams.

I built it because Notion is way too slow. I loved Obsidian, but I wanted it to be multi-player so my whole team could use it. It is fast, open, and self-hostable.

It meets all the criteria you listed except the mobile app. Mobile app will be out next week. I'd happy to build any other features you need. Just let me know at k@hyperclast.com :-)

“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

> Nadella had OpenAI by the short and curlies early on

Looks like Nadella is slowly realizing that it is his short and curlies that are in the vice grip in the "If you owe the bank $100 vs $100M" sense?

By that logic, we shouldn't be fighting malaria in Africa either.

Are there any benefits to toxoplasmosis besides some people finding the vector cute? The alternative isn't living in a sterile bubble.

Well you wrote "Hyperbole and toxoplasmosis go well together". It's not "hyperbole" to care about others, however few they are, even though you yourself might not be at risk, right?

But I don't mean to be confrontational. I understand that it is probably annoying to hear toxoplasmosis talked about like it is black death.
