No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Not at all! I followed this guide to learn about it https://www.labri.fr/perso/nrougier/GTD/index.html Like really went step by step trying to understand it. Really changed the way I go about work notes.
For instance, I used to just commit ideas (fixes, imprivements...) to mind (and forgetting 99% of them ofc), since then I C-c i and write it up, which stores it in a file called "inbox.org" for later processing.
I used to write in a post it at the end of the day whatever I was doing when I left home and stick it to the display memento-style (otherwise I noticed I was completely clueless in the morning). Things like "you are dealing with this one bug". Now I C-c i and write it up along the relevant snippet of code or whatever and from there I C-c w to refile it into the appropiate section of my projects.org file. It takes me less time than the post it and contains 10x the info. It also allows me to go back and know exactly what I was dealing with X months ago.
Like emacs, org mode (and to a lesser degree org-gtd) requires commitment and has a really steep learning curve, but many years down the line I feel really lucky to have put the time into it. Moreover when I see other people struggling to interact with the computer for something that I would do with emacs/org. Have you ever seen someone searching "google" on google? Its that feeling.
