I had a conversation with a friend about iPads lately related to the „just lacking the OS“. The newer iPads with M-chips have all the computing power an average user could need but it’s crippled by the mobile-ish OS, so all the computing power is for nothing basically. An iPad running MacOS (with some adjustments for the Touchscreen) would be awesome. But we concluded it won’t happen anytime soon, because then basically no one would buy MacBooks anymore

Hey, not fair. It’s one user, ok? I mean, that’s me, but still

TIL „touch“ has other uses than creating a file

I think you can just sync the Obsidian Directory with any cloud service or syncthing and it should work fine.

I never said people shouldn’t have that right, i was just genuinely wondering why it’s important to people. Thanks for the insight, definitely good points you make. :) But somehow I think, if a big company wants to scrape that data (thats still publicly available, whether you make it natively searchable or not) they can do it anyway. So if you’re worried about that, shouldn’t you rather just not post that stuff to the public? (I want to emphasise again that I’m not trying to argue against you, I just want to understand as I’m not that well versed on these topics)

Genuine question: why would people have a problem with making stuff you post publicly searchable?

I do on my work computer, bc I don’t really have another choice there. But as it’s chromium based it’s actually not that big of a pain in the ass to use compared to internet explorer back then. But in my personal life I would still never use it

Oof that’s sad to hear, understandable tho. I wish you all the best!

It’s almost if… you know… memes are often funny if you can relate to them

Thats exactly the answer I was looking for, thank you!

Thanks for your response! It’s a very good explanation of the concept of federation, although that wasn’t what I meant. I get why switching between instances of a certain platform (like Lemmy) can make sense, for the reasons you mentioned. But not what the differences are between having an account on Lemmy vs. Mastodon for example, if they’re interconnected.

As expected: Many words, no substance at all
