  • I used TiddlyWiki (self hosted) extensively for like three years but now as I changed jobs I want to get start using just a bunch of markdown files. Editing with VS code on desktop and Markor on mobile.

    Unfortunately no syncing yet because I keep my work documents in my work account’s onedrive and can’t sync it with my phone. I think there are apps that do it but I’d have to go through IT to get permission etc so haven’t done that yet

    Now all I need to find is a good method for searching throughmy markdown files. The search on vs code is alright but I’d like some thing that I can quickly pull up with global shortcut like ctrl alt s or something. Maybe I’ll just make a python program to do it for me or try to find something ready-made.














  • Good breakdown on this in arstechnica:

    In a statement emailed to Ars Technica, Cox Media Group said that its advertising tools include “third-party vendor products powered by data sets sourced from users by various social media and other applications then packaged and resold to data servicers.” The statement continues:

    Advertising data based on voice and other data is collected by these platforms and devices under the terms and conditions provided by those apps and accepted by their users, and can then be sold to third-party companies and converted into anonymized information for advertisers. This anonymized data then is resold by numerous advertising companies.

    The company added that it does not “listen to any conversations or have access to anything beyond a third-party aggregated, anonymized and fully encrypted data set that can be used for ad placement” and “regret[s] any confusion.”




  • Sure, but you could have a setting which allows sexualised content to be accessed or showed. Or just a popup when entering the stream like it already does with mature streams or whatever they’re called. You can have the streams only visible to people logged in, have people put their age on the account when making it (not sure if already a thing) and not show this stuff to people under 18. Yes you can just say you’re 18 but in that case the kids do it deliberately and won’t just stumble upon it. Have the parents do an underage account for them. Lots of options, and yes, the parents do have responsibility as well.
