@shibaprasad Here are some of them. I don't like to install a lot of them because that could be dangerous, especially if you have sensitive stuff in your vaults, and because having a lot of extensions may slow down Obsidian.

But you can find very good plugins within the app! It all depends on your work flow and what you need. 😁

@liamvhogan It's unfortunate that we cannot write "fuck off" on corporate emails. Some people really deserve this.

@shibaprasad I definitely go for Obsidian, but with some plugins, because I feel now that vanilla Obsidian is not as functional as with plugins...

Well, I don't post my articles with Obsidian, I use Hugo for that. What I use Obsidian for is to gather and process my ideas, and for brainstorming.

Let's get as many people as possible to quit ChatGPT and cancel their subscriptions, delete the app, and pressure companies to switch to a more ethical chatbot competitor like Gemini, Claude, and open-source chatbots.

QuitGPT: quitgpt.org

OpenAI president Greg Brockman was Trump's Super PAC's largest donor in their latest year-end report. He and his wife donated $25 million to MAGA Inc last year, and CEO Sam Altman donated $1M to Trump's 2025 Inaugural Fund. ICE uses OpenAI technology for recruitment. They're cozying up to the White House while ICE is killing Americans and the Department of Justice is threatening to take over elections.

In future when you think I'm being super paranoid and over-exaggerating about this stuff, I'm gonna need you to shut the fuck up.

Trump, ICE set to be handed access to Australians’ biometric data, ID documents

The Albanese government is giving the Trump administration and agencies like ICE access to Australians’ biometric data — and we’re not being told anything about it.

Who really owns Bluesky?

Not some deliberately misleading two year old press release. Who are the owners of the Bluesky PBC corporation? Is there any debt or warrants? To whom? Where is the money coming from?

Why is this a secret?

Seeing reports of algorithmic amplification and suppression over there. Who has their hands on the knobs?

Who owns Bluesky?

Goose chase meme. Goose asks Who owns Bluesky, Jay? Then angrily, Jay, who the hell really owns Bluesky.

You don't use open source software because it's better (it usually isn't).

You don't use open source software because it's freer (it only sometimes is).

You don't use open source software because it's got better politics (it isn't always).

You use open source software because *it is the only option*. In the long run, if it isn't open source, it doesn't exist.

@LorenzoAncora It's unfortunate... NPP is such a masterpiece of software. Back when I was a Windows 10 user, NPP ran very fast, it's wasn't from Microslop and has a decent UI and usability experience. As someone pointed out, now as a long-time Linux user I almost forgot the existence of this piece of software.

@aral I can't tell if it's sarcasm, but that's just a slap in their wrists. They'll continue spying on people anyway, because as I always say that crimes are legal if there's money involved (a.k.a fines).
