A surprisingly ok movie.

I love Obsidian. It blows away every other notes app I've used. I use it seemlessly across Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac devices. It's as customizable as you want it to be, even if that means "not at all".

I've set mine up with all kinds of templates and automation to populate and organize my daily notes, notes on books I've read, notes about people I meet, project notes, the list goes on and on...

And if I ever decide not to use Obsidian any more, all of the notes are stored as markdown files on my device(s). So I don't lose anything. Not even the formatting. Just make sure to back up your vault, in case you lose the device itself.

I like the flavor and texture of an unpeeled carrot.

I was really excited about this. I'd been looking for a reason to try Proton's products, and also a reason to move my family off of LastPass. After signing up for Pass Family, I did find the Proton Pass product to be superior to LastPass in most ways. I appreciate that Proton provides a way for me to request, and vote on, new features. At that point, I couldn't have been happier with the decision, and had started the process of getting the family moved over.

Then I made the mistake of upgrading my Proton Mail plan. While using Proton Mail, I got a lovely offer to upgrade, with a pro-rated price of on $0.99 per month. Nothing on the offer page indicated that it was anything other than an add-on to my existing subscription. Amazing, I thought. Now, in addition to moving off of LastPass, I can move off of Gmail too. And I could transfer my domain over to a privacy focused provider. All for a great price! What the offer didn't say, was that by upgrading my Proton Mail plan to Mail Plus, I would immediately lose access to Pass Family. I only found this out after the fact. No big deal, I thought. I'll just reach out to support and they'll help me get this sorted. I could not have been more wrong.

Support has routed me through a number of account upgrade paths with the promise that these would then allow me to downgrade my Proton Mail account and get back on Pass Family. Instead, it's left me stuck with a Proton Unlimited account that I have no use for, and no way to share my Proton password vault with my family. It seems my only choice is to cancel my Proton subscription entirely, and go back to LastPass. With no option for a refund from Proton, it's basically $50 down the drain. Now, at this point, I could not be more disappointed with the experience.

I see your point. I have no illusions that democracy is healthy in modern times. Perhaps not ever? We don't even live in a democracy any more, we live in a corporatocracy.

But doing nothing will solve nothing.

edited to add: In fact, it's our complacency that our corporate masters depend on. Corporate news is designed to overwhelm you. Advertising is designed to lull you to sleep. Together, they make it seem like there's nothing you can do. But that's not true. You can do something. Maybe not the things I suggested, but something. It will make a difference, even if it only makes a small difference for a few people. Isn't that better than nothing?

Which brings us back to the real, underlying, problems with the prevalent model: greed and the concentration of wealth.

A Kroger spokesperson said in a statement that the company’s business model is built on a “foundation of lowering prices to attract more customers.” “To be clear, Kroger does not and has never engaged in ‘surge pricing,’” the statement said. “Any test of electronic shelf tags is designed to lower prices for more customers where it matters most.”

I know these PR people get paid a lot to tell bald-faced lies, but I just don't understand how they live with themselves.

Well put.

Soon, it won't be this idiotic hype cycle, but it'll be some other idiotic hype cycle. Short term investors love hype cycles.

So you're saying that didnt happen?
