What’s going on with that drop in the wall by the sidewalk? Did they run out of material? Did they start from the right and realized it won’t line up with the neighbors Wallace raised it from that point onward? Someone make it make sense.

If you don’t care about the Lightroom replacement being open source you could check out the Davinci Resolve beta that was released recently. They added a photo mode with library management. It’s relatively barebones but it might be enough for you.

Yeh people with ADHD could just educate their parents and teachers about how their brains work differently. And how do they not just diagnose themselves and get the meds to function in a society that is clearly not made for them to succeed. Total failure that’s entirely their fault.

When there is official plugin support, like there is for Obsidian, my take is that there isn’t enough resources to implement everything they would want to. Not sure about logseq.

But I get your point. Sometimes one’s own habits and preferences might stand in the way of exploring a different and possibly better approach.

That’s the first thing I thought when I read this post and I don’t understand why you are not upvoted more.

OP wants me to take advice from the person who won the lottery and disregard all the others who sunk stupid amounts of money and got nothing to show for it? I’d rather hear them all and make an informed decision.

It’s not about being nice for me. More about how humanity could grow out of this cycle. Be better prepared when the storm is over.

Do I think this needs to be stopped? Most definitely. Do I think we will learn anything from it? Probably not. Or way too little.

But like I said. This just might not be the time anymore to have the luxury being more nuanced.

I’d buy you one in return.

Yeh I’m with you. We might well be past the point where people can still come together. I also feel quite discouraged that things have escalated to this. But I’m still trying to keep a few of my principles and a bit of my humanity. I don’t believe there’s evil, its a term for scaring children or riling up people against each other in contexts like religion or other groups. It’s just circumstances and humans who are not fit to deal with them in a healthy way.

I‘m sure our opinions don’t differ too much, I’m totally with you on many things.

What I’m trying to get at is that we end up with 2 groups of people who call each other evil. Because that’s what using these labels boils things down to. And whoever is stronger will come out on top and claim they righteously defeated the evil others. There no discourse to be had, there’s no nuance. Only hate. Which as we can see is also very easy to weaponize.

It’s exactly this rhetoric that demonizes and dehumanizes the other that got us here.

Humans can be misguided and become really really shitty people. But labeling anyone evil is just lazy and won’t help make anything better. It just fuels the fire of this downward spiral.

At least that’s my thoughts.
