You might want to highlight what differentiates it from Obsidian, except being open source. Just from looking at the page, I don't know what it means to have organization capabilities from Notion?

Out of all the lifestyle changes we can make, this is so unbelievably minor it is not worth mentioning, let alone make a campaign for.

Until the government and corporations take climate change seriously, making changes on an individual level won't make a meaningful difference. Doesn't mean we should do nothing.. but come on, this is just stupid.

We need to do better in supporting independent journalism, and journalism in general. Replacing perhaps slightly biased newspapers with influencers is not a good solution.. just makes it a million times worse. False information can spread so easily nowadays because influencers don't even bother checking anything, let alone asking experts. A lot of influencers also blatantly pander to their audience.

Ah yes, selling me something that is already available but is just locked behind software. And then trying to frame that as somehow a good thing for customers. Just insulting.

Wenn man bedenkt, dass Einsamkeit immer mehr zunimmt, ist es dann kein Wunder wenn auch Drogenkonsum zunimmt. 😕

True, I may not have given SNW the chance it deserved. I've watched all 3 seasons of Picard though and almost 2 seasons of Discovery

For me, Star Trek was mostly about a possible brighter future. Humanity overcame the issues on earth, no longer relies on money/capitalism, etc. When your watch the crew on TNG, they are acting professionally and with a code of ethics.

Discovery is so miserable. Everyone is angry all the time, there's racism, lots of unnecessary drama, people acting extremely unprofessionally. Same with Picard. Especially sour about how they made one of the best characters - Q - also very serious and miserable. He could've been the comedic relief the series needed, without undermining the rest of the story. The "Picard speeches" are just badly written too, so whimsical and empty.

We have a million dystopian Sci-fi series already, why do we need more? I feel writers are no longer able to tell compelling stories without fake drama. It's possible to engage with modern day issues in a different way, especially by showing how to be better.

I've watched the first couple episodes with no expectations, didn't hate them, didn't love them.. I don't really know why - just didn't click with me. Might give it another shot!

Honestly, after Picard and Discovery I'm pretty much done with "New Trek", I've lost my interest. For this I'm not even the target audience - this seems aimed at teens / young adults. And it's once again produced by Alex Kurzman. So... yeah, I'm gonna give it a pass.

I cancelled it when they started to crack down on family plans with separate households. It just wasn't worth the money to me anymore. I wonder how much more price hikes the remaining customers are going to tolerate. At some point it becomes cheaper to just outright buy music..

Irrsinn das sowas überhaupt verkauft wird. Akkus sollten immer tauschbar sein - was da an Ressourcen verbraucht werden, von weit her (vermutlich China) geliefert wird, nur um nach kurzer Zeit auf der Müllhalde zu landen.

I think it's best to find a local instructor. When you do it online, you have no one to correct your posture. Also if you really want to practice it as a martial art and not just a health exercise, you need partners to practice with. I use online material only as a complementary resource.

It's also really easy to get lost in esoteric nonsense online to be honest, Tai Chi is associated with Taoism and TCM, and if you go down that rabbit hole, suddenly you find people claiming they can energy heal without even touching others. Just something to be wary of.
