  • So now I get to decide if Xtwit is worth $1/year. And my answer is "No."

    And my first thought was "NOW he has principles?"

  • Am I the only one old enough to remember when "Brand X" was the obviously substandard brand that all the name brands compared themselves to?

  • @0uterzenith I have spent the last couple of days banging on this in anticipation of moving from Evernote. Both Obsidian and Joplin look like they would work for you. I've decided on Joplin for a number of reasons that are important to me.

    1. It syncs natively through Dropbox.
    2. It has clients for Windows, Linux, and iOS so all my devices can access it through Dropbox. Obsidian requires a subscription to support iOS.
    3. It imports the Evernote .ENEX folder export files natively and pretty cleanly.

    I found a web browser extension called "MarkdownLoad" that lets you capture all or part of a web page and save it to a markdown file (.MD) that you can then import into either. Solves the one issue I was really worried about in moving from Evernote.

    • 2 authors say OpenAI 'ingested' their books to train ChatGPT. Now they're suing, and a 'wave' of similar court cases may follow.

  • If I read a book to inform myself, put my notes in a database, and then write articles, it is called "research". If I write a computer program to read a book to put the notes in my database, it is called "copyright infringement". Is the problem that there just isn't a meatware component? Or is it that the OpenAI computer isn't going a good enough job of following the "three references" rule to avoid plagiarism?
