Interesting variant to the common outliner format used by Logseq, Athens Research, Roam Research, Dynalist, WorkFlowy, Tana, etc. I'm happy with Logseq for now but love to see new alternatives.

> Are you suggesting you'd force social media platforms to carry all voices, no matter what they're saying? How would you achieve that? Would community & content quality guidelines become illegal?

No, my OP and this thread's link is about government intervention, which then lead to social media action.

Whilst I do think social media platforms should have additional regulation once they are big enough to become the new public square, there's no need to go that far yet and I'm uncertain of the appropriate balance.

However when it comes to the government's own response, they should have higher bar for taking action due to the oppressive influence it can have backed by it's monopoly on force. And again I state that this should be serious scientific study as the minimum prerequisite for this bar.

> in times when there's a national crisis occurring & you have people continually posting about how to take off-label drugs causing shortages for people who actually need it & injury to those taking it incorrectly, you run into misinformation causing real tangible harm to people. You cannot just ignore that.

Just like you cannot ignore the horror of slipping into a tyrannical police state like China.

Instead of shadowbanning and actual banning I was previously in favour of fact checking and warning labels under legitimately harmful information. Unfortunately even this tool has been abused by being misapplied to factual information, as well as non-harmful opinions. I have yet to see an intervention method since COVID that hasn't been corrupted to oppress the population, so I'm inclined to think that some harm is an inevitable tradeoff for living in a free society.

> You think we should just allow every crackpot theory or idea until scientifically proven inaccurate?

Yes, otherwise what happens when the ruling party is no longer your team?

What if everything becomes inverted, so if you tried to say Bill Gates isn't one of the biggest beneficiaries of COVID then you get "visibility filtered" AKA shadowbanned?

Then you make a detailed explanation about how the story of the Wuhan lab having had a virus leak was all just a hoax, but oops that is a final strike and now you're banned?

The bar for censorship shouldn't be so low and arbitrary. Social media platforms should exist to help us change our minds by discussing and debating with others (like we are doing right here), not be all echo chambers and filter bubbles.

> Misinformation is spread on platforms such as Twitter, so it made sense for the government to communicate with Twitter and let them know what it considered to be a good course of action

This part I disagree with, because what is misinformation is unknownable before serious scientific study is done. It just makes the government look untrustworthy if they flip-flop from "masks are pointless" to "masks are essential" and back simply all because these policies were not based on any real science.

Similarly debate of other aspects like COVID origin, vaccine health effects etc was stifled when the real answers were unknown to science, and by steering the conversation in any particular direction before that it's done irreparable harm to the reputation of government, science and tech.

You can launch Zoom with a flag to make your desktop environment appear to be GNOME and it'll work.

> if Standford didn't have the equivalent of this

A few days ago Stanford published some guide on words you can't say like "American" and "grandfather", so it seems the universities are total opposites in their stances now.

As a non-white Londoner I'd say it's far more likely they didn't like the way you dressed or your first impression rather than the colour of your skin, given that the city is one of the most diverse in the world.

Thanks for your great work creating this protocol. Hope more app developers add support for it, especially for privacy focused apps like Signal which by relying on Google servers are leaking metadata.

Whilst blockchain-based domains like Namecoin are great for security they don't go far enough in my opinion. Certificate authorities and DNS infrastructure are heavily centralised at the root level, so something like the Handshake Protocol[1] is a necessary decentralised alternative.

So instead it's better to stunt children's development with lockdowns and give them early heart attacks with jabs? Regardless of yours or my position however, this debate shouldn't have been censored in the first place.

I'm not sure where to even start with this clearly agitated post. If you genuinely think all disinformation comes from "right wing kooks" you might be in an information bubble.

I would have thought at least the Hunter Biden laptop story pierced that bubble for most people recently by demonstrating these "right wing kooks' were the only ones NOT spreading misinformation.

Self-hosting a F-Droid repo means users can easily get automatic updates, which is important for security.

Built in but I don't find it reliable, I instead opt for yt-dlp.

+1 on this as long as you're not importing a decades worth of existing notes. It scales really poorly when your graph is huge.

Borg/Vorta for encrypted incremental backups to several cloud providers as well as a local NAS. Some files I don't backup with this because they might get changed too frequently.

Rclone (with Crypt command for encryption) for encrypted cloud sync to a single cloud provider. This is for files less suited to incremental backups e.g. large binary files that may get modified like games, movies, phone app backups etc.

Why's it being rewritten? Looks like it's still PHP as well.

There was an Adam Ruins Everything episode about car dealerships in the US, from what I remember US lawmakers have made it so it's not a free market compared to the EU. I think it's similar to how US ISPs maintain monopolies in certain areas.

Have you tried comparing vanilla JavaScript + HTML compared to JSX? React makes your code more concise if you're trying to do any amount of interactivity on your site. You can learn the former in any basic web development tutorial but personally I don't think I'll ever touch it again after learning React.

Imagine if Facebook hadn't forced logins to see peoples profiles and using real names, they might have had a competitor years ago.

Depends the style of notetaking you prefer - document or outliner. I prefer outliner because it allows me to slap everything all nicely organised into one massive file.

Another big difference is open-source - Logseq is, Obsidian isn't.

Same, and the plugin ecosystem is quite big too.

It's a human right to have privacy. If you want to opt in to sharing everything about yourself to Big Tech and everyone else they sell data to then be my guest, but don't try to make it out to be a "fetish" to avoid this totally unnecessary data collection.

+1 with Vorta as the GUI frontend. Much more reliable and performant than Duplicati and Duplicacy which I used to use.

Like Discord they say that 3rd-party clients are against their Terms and Conditions.

Source available

I too had huge problems with Duplicati restoring. Switched to Borg, using Vorta as the GUI and am much happier.

If you take criticism of any activity you partake in as being "damned rude" and a violation of site T&C, then there'd never be any discussion at all.

You are not your job, and prepare yourself for listening to honest criticism of the things you base your identity around or you will find it very difficult to learn and grow.
