It sounds like you might like Logsec. I use it for general note-keeping, but I think it would work really well as a journal because it defaults to a new time-stamped entry when you open it. These entries are presented chronology like a journal, and you can create links to other pages if you want to dive further into a specific topic.

Also, all entries are saved as standard markdown files, so they would be easy to adapt to another software later if needed. This also makes it really easy to sync data between devices with something like Syncthing.

If you like Obsidian and want open source, check out Logsec.

I miss these simpler times.

Yeah, but alcohol and water are both heavy in volume. Gotta set priorities when hauling out to the wilderness!

Article is paywalled, so thanks for posting the actual study. This section seems in direct conflict with the article’s title:

Given the … clear evidence that the epicenter of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was at one of only four markets in Wuhan that sold live wildlife from plausible intermediate host mammal species, either the closest-inferred ancestor or the direct ancestor of SARS-CoV-2 likely moved from an area in or around Yunnan province, to Hubei province, via the wild and farmed animal trade.

In sum, the study doesn’t challenge that Covid-19 originated in Wuhan; but instead, explores the genetic backgrounds of the bats with the closest links to Covid-19.

To be completely pedantic, neither of those are SI compliant. A quantity-unit combination is not a single word and the two should always be separated by a space.

Andy Yen might not have the same publicity as Bernie Sanders, but the history is there. This article covers actions and statements from Andy and Proton going back about ten years from what I can see in the timestamps. Some of the highlights include Andy personally:

• announcing programs to support girls into tech that may be considered DEI by GOP standards
• announcing fundraising for Ukraine after the Russian invasion
• criticizing the termination of Credit Suisse’s first and only black CEO, Tidjane Thiam, as racism
• praising Biden’s choice for FTC chair, Lina Khan, after she initiated lawsuits against big tech
• collaborating with Lina Khan in an antitrust report submitted by a Democratic party majority in the Subcommittee on Antitrust
• and outlining new privacy concerns resulting from Trump taking control of the NSA on the official Proton blog.

Yet, despite Andy’s history of actions that run contrary to Trump and the GOP platform, I’d charge that the greater false equivalency is equating Andy as Proton. While Bernie can clearly speak for himself, Andy is not alone in controlling Proton. Proton is a non-profit foundation governed by a board of directors and is headquartered in a country with laws against complying with US subpoenas. As as greater entity, Proton has donated to left-leaning organizations such as Fight for the Future in the US, Access Now, and Women Who Code. Reviewing Proton donations, I don’t see any right-leaning contributions. Most of it is toward privacy and freedom-of-press focused organizations that align with my views. You may have made up your mind on Andy, but I refuse to throw out the entire positive history of Proton in response to this one tweet.

Are you aware that Bernie Sanders praised Trump late last year for his proposed credit card interest rate limit? Perhaps it’s time to turn against him too!

For real. Even Bernie Sanders has praised Trump on a single issue before. Are we going to turn against him too?

Donald Trump Gets Unexpected Praise from Bernie Sanders: ‘Good Idea’

Ah, you are right regarding the full dataset. Thank you.

It’s strange that they start off with, and seem to focus on, the under-45 respondents unless they were trying to push a positive-viewpoint message. For that age group, it was 31% positive and 41% negative. However, this group seems like a better fit for the Lemmy/Reddit audience. Furthermore, left-leaning voters appear to be more positive in this poll than their right-leaning counterparts.

With all that in mind, I still think this meme works well and wouldn’t have been improved with Bernie.

Yeah, that link shows 31%, not 18% for the under-45 respondents. Nearly a third of those have a positive approval of Luigi.

Edit: corrected to under-45 group.

In your link below, 18% only includes “strong positive”. Why exclude “somewhat positive”?

Edit (correcting numbers as pointed out): 31% positive, 41% negative for the under-45 respondents. 19% positive, 61% negative overall.

Those are both great questions. Of course, I can’t predict how all that will shake out. However, to bring it back to my original point, I think either hypothetical will increase the legitimatecy of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

You make some interesting parallels. While Bitcoin is not mined from the Earth like oil, it is similarly mined all-around the world and not just in US jurisdictions. If another country tried manipulating Bitcoin to crash or pump-and-dump after the US becomes a major stakeholder it would be interesting to see how the US responds.

Again, I’m not speaking in favor or against Trump, just exploring the facts.

Sure, in regards to Trump, you can criticize that all you want, but it doesn’t detract from cryptocurrencies becoming more legitimate per your own criteria.

Bitcoin is climbing again today because Trump reaffirmed his intention to create a US cryptocurrency reserve. If state currencies have value because they are backed by the military, wouldn’t this give the same source of value to these currencies? I don’t think the US isn’t going to be happy with outside entities messing with the value of their assets.

I’m convinced Prusa and Bambu pricing is very simular; their printers just aren’t always an apples-to-apples comparison. When considering enclosed, metal framed, coreXY printers, the Prusa Core One can be purchased as a kit for $950, but the Bambu X1C is $1150. (I highly recommend the Prusa kit options for new owners so they can get familiar with maintaining their machine.) At the mini end, you have the same $200 difference, but in the other direction. The Prusa Mini+ kit is $430 while the Bambu A1 Mini is $220. However, these Bambu prices are currently shown as discounted and I’m not sure if they ever go up to their higher MSRPs. Therefore, I don’t like how Prusa is the only printer brand in this guide with an “expensive” warning.

Edit: Perhaps it would add more clarity to instead include the MSRP in parentheses beside the individual printers listed below.

Yes, it makes for a nice buying opportunity.

I can’t recall ever seeing a single profile pic on Lemmy. Even when clicking on a username, all I see are posts, no profile. I honestly didn’t even know there was a profile to edit. I’m primarily on Voyager.

No downvotes from me; just adding my experience to the conversation.

I’m not sure what you’re woooshing here. If your saying that you were being sarcastic and you do recognize they were using affordable hardware, then that was understood. That’s exactly what I was responding to.

They used their Prusas and cheap filament to print pipe fittings that exceeded residential plumbing pressure requirements by 4-8x across the different materials. Filament cost was 3-17x cheaper than commercial fittings. Overall this study was a success. I think this price-point of printer hardware is a perfect match for the application. Any quality improvements from a more expensive “professional” printer would be wasted on these kinds of simple, low-precision designs.
