Verbing weirds languages, but it's apparently very masculining \s

Does support internal links, md rendering and a useful search over all files without having to configure everything for three weeks? Because those features were what made me switch after a few years of just using vim.

Also having dynamic todo boxes on my daily notes, collected from all my ~1k notes.

Those are actual questions, not sarcasm, btw. I have never used nvim. I was under the impression it was more or less just vim.

It keeps my data in plain text files, integrates well with git and simply does the most things I always wanted a note taking application to do, when compared with anything else I have tried so far.

Yes, I would be happier with an open source application, but the first two are hard requirements for me, which already removes the majority of the alternatives.

On the other hand, I will never understand why anyone would use brave, given how shady the thing is.

"better" can't really be measured on that level, but if we go by success, then, off the top of my head: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhael_Gromov_(mathematician) I admit I had to check, but Gromov is only one year younger. Works in the same field (complex geometry) and created whole subfields essentially by himself. With the exeption of the fields medal, he has won just about every prize you can win, most importantly the Abel prize.

With the possible exception of some small stations, everyone presenting weather predictions around here is a meteorologist. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your source (~4:12) definitely looks like a regular counterbalanced funi. Also, we're not talking about the overhead cable here, right? Because I mean the other one. The one where you can even see wheel-thingy turn as the cavle moves. (No idea what English name for that is)

Edit:

A meaninglessly pedantic distinction in the real world *but in this house we commit to the bit

And that's exactly how it should be 😄

A single portal into all the different rooms might work if you are ok with your continuous room-choosing mechanism having a probability of zero to get you into your chosen room. Not a problem as long as you take everying with you since the probability of hitting some empty room is of course still one.

Yes, since I have hands to feel the door. Hands which, incidentally, are able to help me count things they touch :)
