Sure, I started using (emacs) org-mode about a decade ago after deciding I wanted to get my notes out of Evernote. Obviously I wanted to avoid migrating again in the future, I wanted something as close as possible to plain text that wasn't in a SaaS.

org-mode happened to tick all the boxes while allowing me to:

* make links to lines from e-books I can click and go straight there

* refer to part of an email

* todo and agenda

* export in a easily to many formats to share with my coworkers or friends

* have some basic spreadsheet functionality (I don't really have need for an office suite)

* inline source code I can eval like a REPL, etc etc.

I probably could have used a handful of tools to get what I wanted, but org-mode offered all that and more. I expect I'll probably use it the rest of my life.

as for this particular project? I'm not a vim user, but it's nice to know that should I decide become one, I've got options.

funnily enough it's something I've been working on for my personal dotfile setup but instead unfortunately decided to go with ansible for now despite being a big fan of both nix and nixos. Nix was just a bit too heavy for some of the small lxc containers etc I wanted to setup.

I also had the benefit of being able to walk away from my stupid early deceptions instead of them being massively successful.

I can't relate to him because I honestly don't know what that does to a person.

Yep, it's close to how I see it.

org-mode is great tool for emacs as an environment. If the idea of having such a tool so close so tied into how you're working then it's the best tool I know of.

If you just want a markdown-ish outliner you can probably get that workflow elsewhere.

following the cigarette example though at some point the trend seems to stop declining and the black market fills the gap

in some sense tax havens are kind of like black market banks

> That's precisely what the government does on sensitive topics. That's why there's no anti-vax and conspiracy theory bs. What "we" want isn't always a good thing for running a country.

That is not at all their role. That conspiracy theories are unverified is what makes them theories, that they take a pro-vax stance is based on the data, research and reaching out to experts in the field.

What you're describing is the propaganda arm of a regime, not a media outlet.

It's a public broadcaster, WE own it. The idea that the government should set the agenda for it either as an organization or via intimidation is insanity.

It should represent the diversity of people that it in itself is there for. It should have diversity of political thought, culture and the ability to report on whatever it can fact check.

but an evil that isn't going away, so now you have two.

I'm not anti-cryptocurrency, but we should be striving to be better than what we're creating an alternative to.

I kind of wish my parents had never been told this.

I think being told I was "gifted" might have blinded them to a much more important problem - that I had severe ADHD.

port blocking is a whole other problem.

I'm referring to the rapidly growing number of people behind CGNAT.

I sure hope not, demand ipv6.
