When you say "navigational queries" do you mean Google Maps?

If so, you may not be aware that the locations represented by square dots on the map are ads.

Wow, there's Obsidian, Kagi, and Apple in a nutshell.

> It’s not even because everyone else's trackpads are fucking garbage (they are). It’s that systems that aren’t macs just weren’t built around using one.

Great news for users depending on accessibility

PSA - A crucial detail about Fastmail's spam filter that should really disclosed more clearly is that your filter is only trained on email you flag from within the web UI. Invoking your email client's "move to spam via IMAP" function does not train the filter.

That's not a trick. It's just how you list files. Same awkwardness as any other disk command.

“When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind, I don’t consider the bloody ROI.”

Well Tim, I suppose the blind do outnumber the handless.

The most infuriating case I've seen within the last few days is the Airbnb CAPTCHA, which relies on the user being able to see content that is blocked at zoom levels over 100%. They have an alternative audio option that they've clearly never tested; it always reports failure, even if the CAPTCHA was solved correctly. Unthinkable for an organization with their resources.

Obsidian is just a shitty wrapper around CodeMirror, which does the actual heavy lifting. How much of the money should Obsidian hand over to the CodeMirror developer?
