I think it’s only fair the citizens are allowed to record if the government does it en mass

My father was 76 and started to forget things, basic things like what he did yesterday, who we met the week before (family from overseas who we haven’t seen in years)…

This is when I realised it was getting serious. But he’s a Norwegian born in the 40s, so talking about his mental health and opening up to him is near impossible.

I did call him out on these massive lapses in memory, but jokingly though.

However, without formally addressing anything, he started out of no where and never, ever before doing it my entire life: sudoku.

1-2 hours a day, then more, all the time.

He’s now in his mid 80s and as sharp as ever.

I know he went and saw a GP, and they prescribed sodoku.

But the effectiveness of it, taken seriously, is absolutely incredible.

I think you answered my question, although indirectly. I thought there was competing standards (if that's even the right word, I don't know) for note-taking.

YAML is more for configuration and meta-data, so my original question didn't make a lot of sense.

You've helped clear my confusions so for that, thanks so much!

As for Obsidian, I just wasn't super keen having a whole extra app just for my note-taking. I like simple Notepad++ (or Geany, now that I'm moved to nix), as it can work on any files, not just text/MD/note docs.

Not sure what your position is here. “The left is trying to hold people to account, but that makes them less popular.”?

Gold is going off the charts

Has anyone checked out Fox News recently? There is zero, and I mean zero coverage of the implications of the tariffs. W.T.F. At what point do you go “okay, we’re actually on par with North Korea”?

So in short, the trust with tech is already way gone. And should be. For everything else? Well trump just blew that up

I think since the Snowden revelations it’s pretty clear there is no holds barred in terms of intelligence overreach from practically every angle and state.

What’s happening now, with the tariffs, is really wild (but ultra dumb imho) territory…

He bankrupted casinos 6 times. Six. Managed to lose money on a money printing machine.

I do think that’s a massive factor. I hate to generalise as is a massively complex issue but I do feel most young men online are angry that they aren’t getting more interactions with women. Technology hasn’t helped that at all. I’m wondering if there’s a way to try reverse that. Education is obviously key but it popular and accepted is super hard

I shouldn’t have even mentioned woke to be honest. I’m a liberal but there’s loads of things I’m conservative about. What I think can bring everyone together is to teach kids to respect one another. That’s what’s missing online: common decency and respect. Sure that’s something that’s likely never going to be solved, but I’d love some way to combat the spread/reach of misogyny especially among kids who have no idea what they’re wading into

I'm not woke, and personally hate that term. But I have two young boys that are coming to the age where they might be exposed to the online cancer that is Andrew Tate and his ilk.

I have the ability to sponsor/build a project with the goal of improving young male minds so that they can get direction, respect women and hopefully realise their intrinsic morals and ethics.

I think you guys know that most of us have these, but youth are especially susceptible to twisting and ultimately ruining that.

I am keen on hearing some ideas to help combat this and building/sponsoring some ideas.

For me, my outlet is art, but that might not appeal to the broader audience. If anyone has a great idea, I would LOVE to hear it.

Honestly, thank you for giving me the platform to discuss this.
