I just switched to Lawnchair thanks for the recommendation. Seems to do everything I wanted from Nova anyway.

Vagility is a great word- it has a good sound and rhythm and the added bonus of sounding like it is probably something rude. Might be limited opportunities to work it into a conversation but I am willing to wait Thank you.

I think he is talking education as in school/college/university rather than learning?

I too am finding AI incredibly useful for learning, I use it for high level overviews and to help guide me to resources (online formats and books) deeper dives. Claude has so far proven to be an excellent learning partner, no doubt other models are similarly good.

Felt sure that this thread would reference Terry Pratchett, he was a man who understood the danger of librarians.

Further to your point the Scots and Irish aren't even Anglo-Saxon. You could make the argument for calling them Anglo-Celtic now but not so much at the time of the settlement of the US.

Same in Australia. But my Dad was a Scotsman so I had it well emphasised

Also the first real programming language I learned, on an early version of DOS (3.?). I wrote a utility to encode data which was burnt to Eeproms for VHF radio's (fixed base units) I don't remember the details but it was cool to write a tool to solve a problem. Fun times.

Trees are good. Everything I have read suggests soil (hummus) is better. Requires change to farming practices though which is traditionally difficult to do and has rich lobby groups arrayed against it.

> In the right conditions it has a half life of a few days and will be completely inert in a couple of weeks.

As far as I can tell this is not accurate- glyphosate breaks down to AMPA which is not inert.

Joplin has served me well as an Evernote replacement. If by integration with the browser you mean snipping content then I think it meets your requirements.

They are on YouTube. Thoroughly recommended. Some swearing.

See my other reply re training, employers here in WA generally want a Cert III minimum. There are jobs available but the pay is pretty poor. There are plenty of industries paying better for equally physical work (albeit not in a garden environment) and not requiring certification.

I did a 6 months Cert III in horticulture, a Permaculture Design Certificate and read and watched as much as I could. Every day is a school day and I am still learning. Not sure about where you are but here in Western Australia the paid jobs in horticulture are very low paying (my 2 day forklift licence is worth more in the work place) but one of those jobs could be worth considering for the learning opportunity - I have been working part time in a nursery whilst I build up clients for my own garden maintenance business.

Retrained last year as a horticulturalist after 30+ years in IT and communications. I am fitter and healthier than I have been in decades. Pay rates in the industry are low but I am building up my own business and enjoying the lifestyle benefits. Thoroughly recommend it.
