@gewalker@WuMargaret In the fine tradition of infodumping: If you like the just-Markdown of Obsidian but not the closed-sourceness or getting lost in plugins, maybe try Zettlr? Any sync or post-processing you do yourself. OTOH it has never broken on me.

@gewalker@WuMargaret (mentioned because I’m thinking a lot about Zettlr’s simplicity while wrestling with Logseq’s tweaky Markdown-ish syntax)

Backlinks can wait until I handle Logseq’s syntax extras, or at least the ones I care about.
Being invited to an event via text chat is nice because I don’t have to worry about masking. I can have the immediate “WTF no” reaction, look directly at it, and evaluate whether that’s how I really feel — it isn’t always — before answering.

Me: “But I’m working on a thing!”
Also me: Is that an important thing or just the shiny target of this afternoon’s hyperfocus?
Zellij, Helix, Nushell, zk, basically completely rewriting my terminal workflow.

Hm. Zellij a) grabs common app bindings like C-q and C-s for its own session management; and b) does not yet understand the concept of a leader key, which means I’d have to redefine every last binding?

Think I might go back to the experiment multiplexing with WezTerm rather than mucking about more with Zellij.
Also, poor Pop OS didn’t even last a full day before I got annoyed. Little fiddly device issues that work fine in EndeavourOS, so the hard drive belongs to Endeavour now.

@gewalker all the annoyances of GNOME with a few extras. I hope their custom desktop works out. Meanwhile, KDE on a rolling release is my relatively happy place.
Talking with a recruiter about an interesting job possibility:
“That’s a great service and there’s a gap [where the target of that service is not being addressed]. I don’t know if it’s a money-making gap, but there’s a gap! That intrigues me!”
#ADHD overshare isn’t the same as brutal honesty but there’s a lot of overlap.
