Title is ugly.

I figured "where you live" is basically the same thing as "home" unless you start getting into stuff like some adults living in hotels all the time because they are constantly on the move and rarely at their permanent address, or adults not considering their current residence their home because they know it's just a temporary place and they'll move soon or they do not like where they live and they don't feel welcome.

Data investigates nothing like that. Instead investigates adults specifically within 25–29 years old who live with their parents, which might be the same place as their childhood home.

Pretty image though.

I think I tried this out back in the day when searching for what I would use for PKMS! Don't remember why I didn't settle on it. I like FOSS stuff but the switching cost from Obsidian would be high—even if there was something to auto-move everything over I always like to manually move things so I can strike out unused things, improve existing notes, restructure my notes, etc. but maybe to support FOSS I should just find an auto-import if it exists and do it anyways.

Not sure if this would be considered off-topic for !obsidianmd@lemmy.world but you might want to crosspost there. I would welcome it. !FOSS@beehaw.org and !opensource@programming.dev would also like this.

Also, the name for this community (which I did not create and which I am not a mod of) is

Personal Knowledge Management Systems (PKMS)

Thanks for backing me up :)

I am not the one with an issue with the acronym. I am just a nobody trying to be polite to the person who made the comment, especially since I am really not in a position to fix their problem. It feels really weird to have something as call-out-y as "excuses but no solutions" said to me as if I'm personally responsible for the concept of Personal Knowledge Management. I like it and I post stuff about it on the Fediverse. I'm not some big authority about it.

And finally, my biggest reason not to is that I don't personally believe the acronym needs to change, so I'm not going to begin to make an effort to get it done. I don't have any investment in accomplishing that change. The commenter who pointed it out is welcome to take steps towards making it happen. I said what I said because I thought that would be a better and friendlier reply than a politer version of "lol idc about this", while still being my honest thoughts on the matter.

I definitely did not make this acronym and I am not sure how I'd go about taking your advice besides making an entirely new community that I have to moderate, further splitting this community where people rarely post. Maybe making a separate post asking about better names for it? Unfortunately sometimes acronym name collisions happen, and I bet whatever people choose, inevitably some field will have an acronym with the same letters that has been around for longer.

I appreciate people like you.

Sounds like a fun way to very, very slowly improve my art skills which capped out at "I got a good grade on my report card for art in middle school!"

!knitting@lemmy.world (/c/knitting@lemmy.world)

even sometimes picks up the old sticks as a way to meditate in between dives.

I have never tried to knit with an entirely wet body before (I am assuming the quoted part means he dives off the board, and picks up his knitting until it is time to dive again in a few minutes). Maybe I'll try right after showering and see what happens.

Curious when he started that sweater, because if he started when the Olympics started this year he is really fast.

Is that still good? I heard about some old music piracy sites now being flooded with viruses and the like. I don't feel like having to be careful with what I download so I'll probably resort to a YouTube to mp3 downloader since most of what I have is probably posted on YouTube, and I am not one of those people who can detect a difference in audio quality with different file types. I appreciate the help!

Younger person in my 20s. Most of my friends use Spotify. I grew up buying music on iTunes and will continue to do that. I also have little interest in discovering new music and a preference for straight-up owning instead of streaming something I do not own. (Yes, I am aware I should probably go reread the TOS to see if I actually own or if Apple can remotely take my "ownership" away and back up the files like mad.) But I know my approach is uncommon amongst my social group.

I do not have CDs and will not buy one. I know of their use for backing things up. I keep external hard drives but otherwise do not really like physical media and want to keep the count of physical things I have down. Another thing to collect dust, to have to try to keep nice because I like things to look nice, and to be heartbroken about when I inevitably spill something on it/scratch it/otherwise break or damage it, whether in a "it will lose functionality" way or just a superficial way. I'll avoid the pain and just go digital.

I am also just not much of a merch person. I might donate money to support musicians but please don't give me a T-shirt I'll never want to wear (they are not my style, I might buy clothing if it actually fits my style but merch clothing almost always doesn't) or a poster I'll never hang up. If I like your music I might buy sheet music to play it myself. Better be accurate though, not a simplification, or I'll turn up my nose and transcribe it myself. Can't guarantee I'll have perfect results, but I will be closer to the original than the simplified piano/vocal/maybe guitar scores that are often put out.

I also don't know what skibidi toilet is, besides a meme that really belongs to people a decade younger than me. I don't care to find out but I am happy to let them have their fun.

The reason I want it to grow is because I want to talk to other people about my interests without having to use Reddit. Not just me being the only poster about it.

I did say that I wondered if I'd accept bots if I was guaranteed the above outcome, with other humans, not with it being overrun with bots. I also don't want to talk to LLMs. The reality is we do not know for sure if botting the place up will help it grow, and botting it makes it unpleasant for users now, so I am against it.

Fake engagement to drive more users here seeking engagement, thinking they are interacting with real people. Not a fan of the deception, but I read somewhere on the Fediverse (do not remember the source, or if this is true!) that Reddit started this way, and eventually got a huge amount of real people. I do not want to talking to an LLM on here, but I wonder if I'd be against LLMs pretending to be people in the comments if I knew the tradeoff would be the Fediverse growing, as itself and not some thing taken over by a corporation, with more actual humans to talk to about my interests with. The thing is, I don't know if that outcome would occur for sure.

Although your comment made me think: bots dropping hot takes do not get upset when people get toxic in the comments :P

I could swear there was a community link fixer bot, which is pretty useful for people reading comments, trying to click a link to a community, and getting an error. Bot has the correct link as a reply.

Community-specific bots can be quite helpful. NameThatSong on Reddit had a bot that would run your post through song recognizer bots if your post had audio, to try to help the poster identify the song. I found it useful. I should probably figure out how to make a similar bot for !NameThatSong@lemmy.wtf someday.

Hey, thanks for the clarification.

Unofficial Lemmy community for https://obsidian.md

It's not the official community, that'd be the forums and maybe the Discord, so I'm confused. Do you mean communities specifically focused on it are likely to have that kind of person too?

Also, the image you posted seems to defend Obsidian from criticism, so I was pretty surprised to get a reply from you talking about shills, about negative reception to criticism because the people in the conversation are paid actors.

Putting all my cards on the table, I am an Obsidian user who enjoys it. I saw this post in PKMS got lots of upvotes, and my motive here is Fediverse engagement, which is why I thought this would make a nice crosspost.
