Let’s not forget an important distinction here. This man is not making any of these things, and he isn’t capable of making them. But, he is capable of directly and indirectly impacting the people who are capable of making them negatively enough that we get utter failures like the cybertruck.
Don’t give him more credit than he deserves.
Sorry, this isn’t helpful. I migrated the hard way, hah. I just went to each page in OneNote and hit ctrl+a, copied that and pasted without formatting into TriliumNext, then fixed the formatting.
It took some time, but was worth it to me. I figured it would be a good test to help me familiarize myself with TriliumNext a little.
An easier path to help adoption would probably go a long way, but it also might eat up a lot of development time and routinely need work. I’m not sure how often the OneNote export formats change.
Mobile improvements would be huge!
I’ve been using this for a couple weeks now and completely replaced OneNote with it (been wanting to ditch OneNote for awhile). It’s been very smooth, nice work!

Then you wouldn’t notice all the fun and exciting recommendations they have for you! /s
Hmm I haven’t tried this. Thanks for the suggestion.
So, a dark pattern is a design that tries to trick the user into something. But what is the word for “knowing what the user wants, blatantly ignoring it and imposing the companies will anyway”?
Example: I think YouTube shorts are a terrible format, and I find them generally irritating. So I click the X on the element in YouTube that has a bunch of side scrolling cards, where each card is one of these shorts. YouTube informs me it will hide them for 30 days and then they’ll be back.
Another example, Windows Update. I’ve set all the group policy settings so it should never restart and update without me triggering it. But, if I allow it to download the update, then damn my group policy settings, it is going to apply that update and restart whenever it wants.
Ah that makes much more sense. I think I crossed my wires. You mentioned backing up the Minecraft worlds and so I thought “deduplicated backups… so borg.”
I appreciate your explanation.
Is there a link?
Also, how does this compare to something like Borg?
For those who unfortunately have to use Windows laptops for work, there is a workaround. Unplug the laptop before putting it to sleep/hibernate. That’s it. Super irritating they won’t fix it, but not surprising, too busy trying to shove (more) ads into the start menu.
Additionally, instead of actually trying to compete and gain users but making a platform that isn’t trash, they insist on instead trying to trick users with temporary free game offers. And if that doesn’t work, they try to strong arm users into going to their platform by buying exclusive sales rights to games, bringing exclusives to the PC gaming space.
Their CEO is a loud clown who is always spouting nonsense on Twitter. They buy games studios and rip their games off of the platform where users bought them (see Rocket League), and discontinue mac/Linux versions that were fully functional.
Their flagship game preys on children via micro transactions. They lack so many features on their platform that (I believe) they have endorsed using Steams community features for games bought on Epic.
I could probably go on, but I think that’s probably sufficient.
A cryptocurrency miner. It uses your computer to generate currency, which costs you resources (electricity, compute power, etc.).
This isn’t limited to the Reddit app. You can see it on the desktop and mobile website too.
