> Although Sales and Marketing would have us believe that we should upgrade our devices on a regular basis
Who would actually even believe that in the first place? Maybe it's an American thing, but with our French spending power, I know of absolutely no one in my family or friend group who has a set schedule for upgrading their devices. It's either "use until it breaks, then replace" or "use until I absolutely need a replacement because it's too slow", the latter of which usually being after 3 years or so.
As for downsizing, once again everyone I know isn't really "downsizing", but buying refurbished devices a few generations old, as the price for brand new devices, even refurbished ones, has gotten pretty crazy.
> now from a first glance it would have the more senior copyright claim.
So what? What matters is authorship, not the date at which it was published on this or that website. Even if a website copies your text, no matter the date, that is still your text and still copyright infringement no matter what if you didn't license this text to them.
I'll switch to Firefox when they get proper vertical tabs like Edge's. I know Microsoft Edge has a really bad reputation, but damn it I can't live without its vertical tabs, and I can disable most of the idiotic AI crap. I know there are plugins, but they all feel quite hacky and are simply not as good.
I finally got sick of a lot of the crap that was getting added to edge (like the stupid button on the right that opens the right toolbar), plus I didn’t like MS stealing my data.
Not a day goes by that I don’t strongly miss vertical tabs though.
Weirdly enough, I've heard good things about Dacia's reliability specifically because they use old parts that are known to be reliable. I don't have first-hand experience though so maybe that's not true.
Logseq is great, but I definitely agree that everything around it (docs, website, ...) is terrible. They really need to rework their marketing pitch and give proper docs. Right now you have docs scattered across 3 websites, and the only useful one is made in Logseq itself, which isn't a good system for scaling documentation.
The sad part is that the tool is really underrated.
You don't need to even think where to put notes.
All that overwhelm that all the folks are speaking about, just start writing in your daily page, when you look back -> you have a clear link.
It actually kills ambiguity without having folders and having too much un-needed structure (obviously use-case varies).
Logseq doesn't need plugins because a lot of it is already in-built (tasks, block-references, in-built queries).
It reminds me of the discussion when people praise Next.js for all the packages, and ecosystem but its not a feature, there is a reason people building these.
I think an application's usefulness depends on how much you align with its design and mindset it brings to the table.
For some people, stuffing pages into a notebook (a-la Evernote/Joplin) is fine. I use Evernote, and it's fine for most things.
However when things start to get crowded, this model breaks down. I also don't like shoving things into an application and meta-sort it with tags and whatnot. I like structured work, because I can put clutter aside in the structure and focus on what I'm working on.
Also, having the files as plain Markdown files is a plus for me, even if it doesn't have the block references. As I already said, I need Obsidian for document and knowhow management, and glorified text files are what I exactly want.
Pretty sure socialblade is unmaintained, if the state of their blog is of any indication. There's been no updates there since 2020, with the last subject relating to COPPA enforcement on YouTube.
Given that specific subject did have a few follow-ups with no relevant notes published, my guess is that the site is mostly in maintenance mode/runs until it breaks with no active features being developed.
Please, Firefox, for the love of everything, add a good, easy, natively integrated, one-click-to-enable vertical tab list like Edge's. That's the only thing keeping me on Microsoft Edge and it's a dealbreaker for me. The extensions that add ones are just not as good.
Vertical tabs are The Reason why I stick to Edge despite the constant annoyances Microsoft throws my way. That, and the fact I can still hide most annoying things (like the tools sidebar and bing chat and stuff.
Has has also gotten split screen tabs which is awesome, though I keep forgetting about it and don't use it.
Vertical tabs aren't a good reason to stick with Edge. Vivaldi is better and supports vertical tabs, but is still Chromium. If you want a Firefox based browser with vertical tabs there is Floorp.
I tried to switch to switch to Floorp and while it is pretty good, there are things like tab pinning and tiling that work so much better in Vivaldi (compared to every other browser I've tried) that keeps me there.
