I think people are making this almost more nefarious than it probably is.

TikTok turned it off because they had to. Trump alluded to not enforcing the law, so I think they decided to shoot their shot and say “we are turning this back on because Donny Boy said we are good. THANK YOU for not coming after us!”

As more of a “forcing function” that basically 1. Gives trump credit for this which strokes his ego 2. Makes trump look bad and somewhat insulates them from him immediately turning it back off.

A couple things: I don’t think trump gives a FUCK about TikTok. Not enforcing this law causes a constitutional issue because congress passed it and the SC upheld it.

Isn’t the “not enforcing the law” stance, the position Republicans took when impeaching Mayorkas?

Exactly. Especially considering half these commenters are using chatbots and AI interchangeably as if there aren’t dozens of other tools that use AI/ML to parse data and do anomaly detection.

I stumbled on vimwiki years ago and I’ve never found anything that meets my needs better. You can use markdown, link to things, etc. I use git to help manage versions and track changes, but I truly treat it like a wiki where it’s constantly updated and live.

You can easily publish to html too if that’s your thing.

As for searching and other stuff, I use telescope (part of neovim) and grep and other coreutils and bash scripts to do the things I need to do with my stuff. For example I have a vim keyboard that calls a script that greps through my diary notes for “to do” items then puts them in one file for me. But they all link back to the file they reference. So I can quickly see my to do items and jump to that specific note to work out it or close it out.

It’s all text files; no databases or special formats.

If you use md it’s interoperable with a myriad of other apps and tools too.

My blog, for example is a Hugo blog so any personal note that I want to make into a blog post is a ‘cp’ away from publishing.

It’s literally all bans on government devices. Which is totally reasonable. Ban it from govt devices.

:) I’m glad the EU did it. Having usb c for all of my devices is awesome.

But they waited so long to do it. I think everything except the iPhone was already usb c (iirc) and given the supply chain lead times, the timing of the reg vs the release of the new usb c phone, I really think they had the usb-c phones in flight for a couple years.

Maybe the looming threat of the reg made it happen. Maybe it made it happen faster. But it seemed like the direction they were headed.

At the end of the day, I’m glad they regulate vs what the US does. Even if their regs aren’t perfect / late, they do something for their constituents.

I gotta say that seemed pretty performative considering apple was obviously already moving that way with usb-c on all their devices.

Haha! That’s what I did. When my aunt tried to friend request me on Facebook, I bailed.

I joined back in college when it was an invite only walled-garden of college kids. Zucks pic was still in the banner when I joined iirc. They hadn’t release “the wall” or much of what Facebook eventually became.

But when parents and coworkers started trying to friend request me I realized it was time to bail.

So 12 years ago? Maybe just 10.

I have never missed it at all.
