I can't dispute that. I'm not a Word person. I live in Excel and often have half a dozen people working in the same file without issue, but that's much more logically structured than a Word document. Google's team sites are also disjointed and janky af compared to Sharepoint.

I like how this implies that France never became independent and is still a vassal state.

Oof. I did not know about that. That's unfortunate!

Is there a problem with your Lemmy client? My comment renders fine on Raccoon.

Maybe Logseq, too.

+FOSS like Joplin and unlike Obsidian
+plaintext markdown files like Obsidian and unlike Joplin's janky database
-less feature-rich than obsidian
-block-based instead of note-based, so a slight paradigm-shift is required

In my country, we can buy pre-paid credit cards in the supermarket using cash. I guess that is still traceable using supermarket security cameras and facial recognition, but if you're attempting this, I'd make it as difficult as possible.

This was not allowed before. Until just recently, the technology didn't exist to place icons anywhere in the grid. They would automatically smoosh up into orderly rows starting at the top-left with no gaps between icons. Apple is continuing to develop cutting edge innovation, though, and now you will be able to leave entire rows and columns empty, or any specific icon space you choose!

Computers have ruled the planet for longer than the Greeks ever did. The history lesson is appreciated, but we're living in the future, now, and the future is digital.

K/M/G/T/P = decimal prefixes. K is 1000. M is 1,000,000. etc.

Ki/Mi/Gi/Ti/Pi = binary prefixes. Ki is 2¹⁰ (1024), Mi is 2²⁰ (1,048,576), etc.

It's a disambiguation of the previous system where we would use KB to interchangeably mean 1000 or 1024 depending on context.

The American way would probably be still using the units you listed but still meaning 1024, just to be confusing.

American here. This is actually the proper way. KB is 1024 bytes. MB is 1024 KB. The terms were invented and used like that for decades.

Moving to 'proper metric' where KB is 1000 bytes was a scam invented by storage manufacturers to pretend to have bigger hard drives.

And then inventing the KiB prefixes was a soft-bellied capitulation by Europeans to those storage manufacturers.

Real hackers still use Kilo/Mega/Giga/Tera prefixes while still thinking in powers of 2. If we accept XiB, we admit that the scummy storage vendors have won.

Note: I'll also accept that I'm an idiot American and therefore my opinion is stupid and invalid, but I stand by it.

Y'all need to get cracking on those incubators that can grow a whole-ass child from a couple of cells outside of a human womb. Otherwise, you're just advocating for modern-day slavery. Poor look, my dude.
