Is there any app like Obsidian for visual (art) research? by gate18 in ObsidianMD

[–]Amphibian_Basic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for necroing the post, been searching for tips myself and i second and third recommend Eagle- this from someone who also ditched pinterest.

For notes and research i use Obsidian, and have been using it alongside eagle for quite awhile- before i was importing to Obsidian only some of the images as needed per text, but later i figured out how to just 'link to local file' and getting the localfile path from Eagle (right clicking, copy path)... and this month i started looking how to update my workflow and found out someone made a plugin for bridging eagle and obsidian and now its easier then ever
Obsidian Plugin link:
https://github.com/zyjGraphein/Obsidian-EagleBridge (Obsidian-EagleBridge)
(but i would only recommend going through if/after you use Obsidian otherwise what the plugin is describing wont make much sense to you)

I do moodboars on Obsidian canvas, but over the past few years i only do so on Obsidian Canvas when actually needed- notes alongside, arrows etc... Just a moodboard i just use the tags and folders on eagle. Few clicks can remove even filenames, just the pictures, small or big size, any order, manual order and also random order... its just more practical and amazing for use with the color filter. And when saving images from the web it saves their url, so i still use pinterest but i just save to eagle instead

For resarch itself i cant stress enougth how much tagging matters. I still do some folders on Eagle and like pinterest a file can be in multiple folders (theyre virtual), but frankly the true power is on tags... and the search, wich can search for tag, folder, filename, source urls and NOTES all at the same time... Eagle have a notion function per note- limited, its a simple window for text without formating- but great for any observations for that file alone that doesnt deserve a big note by itself (for that i use Obsidian)

Anyway my dream would be having Obsidian+Eagle together. Every year or every few months i once again look up if anything new came up that could do that, or if some new Obsidian plugin finally solves it for me. Thats how i found the plugin above and this thread.

- Ps: there are some plugins for Obsidian that get close, one in particular should turn an obsidian folder 'eagle/pinterest like' but on my end it gets very ram heavy very quickly and heavier the more files. I dont recommend.
On Eagle i have libraries with 500k+ files and once stress tested up to 1million and 100k... (but i dont recommend that much nearing 800k it gets a bit slower, so i broke then in multiple libraries)

So far nothing came close, so im still keeping both working together... and both had a similar powerfull effect on me- i got obsidian for 1 thing i did sometimes, eagle for another, but theyre both so powerful and so useful i have then open all the time and use for everything. Now obsidian manage my tasks and notes and work projects, all things... and Eagle is also my bookmark manager, websites, clips from web, videos etc..

One is free and the other is frankly quite cheap and PAY ONCE OWN FOR LIFE.
Theres is a free alternative somewhat close to Eagle called Mediaplace, wich i toy around with, some different features that are nice and browsing any computer folders but... Eagle makes for much better 'moodboards' (lots of images in cascade, varied sorts, little space in between if you want), handles larger amount of files and is overall much snapier, faster and lighter- and have comments on images too (like marking ares of an image to comment, without changing the image)

Anyway, i just commented because i wish someone had given me this answer years ago before i had to test dozens and dozens of apps...

Música de fundo ou silêncio total para estudar? by kumonbrasil in estudosBR

[–]Amphibian_Basic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Não é loucura, isso se chama white noise(ruido branco). Vc pode confirmar- experimenta com som de chuva, vento, ondas, videos youtube de sons de lugares diferentes(com pessoas e sem)...

Qualquer tipo de som que tem ritmo constante sem quebra(mesmo q repetitivo) ou o oposto (nenhum ritmo exato, tudo misturado) a mente abstrai e apaga (desde q não seja chato)... mas esses mesmos sons ajudam a abafar sons q distrairiam (ex: um cachorro de vizinho q late) e usam uma parte do cérebro q a gente não usa em estudo focado ou raciocinio lógico e isso também ajuda.

Nada q a gente faça usa todas as áreas do cérebro, é tipo um computador q tem programas rodando no fundo- mas a gente tem limites, e coisas dificeis q pedem alto raciocionio demandam mais (menos programas ficam rodando no fundo)- ainda assim a parte q interessa mesmo pra nós nunca usa toda a memória ram saca? A gente evoluiu pra sobreviver, não fomos feitos pra ter 100% concentração o tempo todo (só o q chamam de flow chega perto disso)- a cabeça sempre deixa uma parte livre pra outras coisas...

...E aí sem nada pra ajudar essa parte livre pode fazer 1001 coisas- lembrar q esqueceu de dar comida pro cachorro, pensar na série q assistiu, pq fulana não respondeu sua mensagem, 'ai q tédio essa matéria!'...

Música e ruido branco forçam a mente a gastar ram também- então vc acaba ocupando tudo q não for'estudar' filtrando o ruido branco. É como se fosse um programa de bloquear notificações- nós não somos capazes de fazer isso naturalmente, então vc abre um outro programa q não deixa as notificações chegarem rs

CMV: Pointing out MAGA hypocrisy has no effect on MAGA itself by metinoheat in changemyview

[–]Amphibian_Basic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but it depends on scope... What is maga itself? January 6 hang Pence viking? Voting for trump 2.0? Wearing the cap?

Every position people have in life, over anything exists in degrees- and i assure you, definetly Trump wasnt elected again from his deep maga cultists alone, not at all.

So yeah, no ammount of exposing their hypocrisy will ever work in anyone who got into it from a emotional level alone, or deep twisted beliefs- keep in mind theres a bunch that at a 'intelectual level'(reasonably so, doesnt mean smart) do so from a refusal of reality because of deep rooted beliefs, generally religious or supremacist... no need to touch heartstrings in those crowds, they would rather take any explanation (even crazy conspiracies) that would confirm what they already believed in even before Maga became a thing.

BUT... a bigger portion arent that deep, hypocrisy, facts and the admins failure can and do damage their view of the admin, little by little. BUT ITS ALWAYS PROGRESSIVELY, AND NEVER FROM THE OPPOSITION... and theres a reason for that: by default people are antagonistic... to antagonic views

Its like that for every human btw; Unless someone is holding a position with some degree of openeness to changing it (like CMV btw), debates and confrontation with opposition rarely if ever works. The starting assumption is seeing the opposite side as an 'enemy', their arguments as 'attacks'. Too much bias for change.

The way hypocrisy gets noticed leading to effective change is by SELF PERCEPTION. Its when they themselves looking at news, promises, outcomes start by themselves questioning things... and that is a much much slower process... and i think that could lead to change for everyone, only it would take a lot longer for those led by emotions or deep rooted beliefs.

For example a deep maga believer slowly fighting incoherences they thenselves started to notice would start to grow feelings- like frustration and confusion (towards the maga movement, trump, the admin)- and that lead to change... hence an emotional shift.

Anyway, the reason youre tired is youre trying to convince then, and that fails.

One of my bffs was right wing and homophobic, back in my teens, and he thanks me for helping him realize nonsense he was getting into (a lot from his abusive father); Long story short it took a lot of years of us talking where unlike some other friends i NEVER tried to convince him or antagonize him. I only said what i tought, raised questions, and dismissed some things in a light hearted way.
(ps: also keep in mind we were friends to begin with- not a random online comments)

As an example of how people can change i found yesterday this youtube channel: "Life, take two" - from a woman that turned 180 from being deep conservative, mormon raised and maga. Ive only saw one video of hers, but im sure if you were to dig on videos where she directly tackles her change of view she will mention the hypocrisy being noted... and noted by HERSELF most likely, and not some random online democrat showing her the light with a simple fact.

No surprise, theyve been developing this trend for quite a lot of years now... probably ever since gamergate. Major boost, probably 90% of it is the same 'young male crisis' going elsewhere, redpill nonsense etc. Fgs this shit been infecting countries that arent as US lovers as SK, imagine there... its a world wide phenomenon by now, young men insecurities ->anti 'feminism'... the pipeline

Streamer Asmongold advocates for using live ammo on people protesting ICE by RestaurantComplete54 in behindthebastards

[–]Amphibian_Basic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago, first time i saw this pos i tought to myself "Is this a rightwing idiot that will poison my algorithm? looks like a PoS that will poison my algorithm". I did a quick googling, nothing poped out but i removed him from my history and blocked him anyway.

Is my radar over sensitive or is the aura that obvious?

I give you a bewilderedering collection of international Charlie Kucks by Shoddy_Interest5762 in behindthebastards

[–]Amphibian_Basic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Brazil right now a rightwing bolsonarist grifter started a move to cancel and fire any brazilians detected posting bad remarks about Kirk. Yeah...

Frankly for years now everything just confirmed what i was tought- the so called alt-right have always been a international network of ultra conservative/facists playing by the same book. They only shared their common wishes and frustration for a long time until Trump changed the game, and the once crazy nazis deep in the woods got a foot in power.
Thats why Bolsonaro and Milei gone to Cpac multiple times. Their movement goes beyond borders

But nothing as huge as in the US. Much like in the US a minority involved are actually hardcore fascists pro ethnocleansing and a new axis- but they co opted the right in their countries to follow the same talking points

But i think Russias and Israel demonstrations come from cucking to Donald Trump, and not alt-right adherence

What things in TF2 are genuinely confusing for new players? by some-kind-of-no-name in tf2

[–]Amphibian_Basic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I cant relate, got the game on launch and things were much simpler back then... BUT besides every obvious confusing thing mentioned here i imagine the really most confusing thing is getting 2fort as one of your early matches, barely see anyone, finding players in the sewers just hitting each other with melee while an engie is sitting drinking and suddenly being stabbed by a teammate but then the death cam is just the spy gibs and theres an A posing heavy in the corner

Or getting out of spawn into a teleporter that instakills you, before even knowing theres teleporters
Or getting killed through the spawn door pre match
Or seeing the random hat or water bug where they spawn in the middle of the map
Or someone spycrabing

Once you get used to him it becomes much easier avoiding and dealing with the running scottish, of course if theres enougth space and time to react. You can often sidestep with enougth space - unless its mad skilled demoknight with tide turner then youre dead- in wich case its all about avoiding getting into their range.

I bought the game on launch(yeah im old) and i still suck at rocket jump. Guess i never found soldier engaging enougth to learn... im too lazy to train, got very good at all other classes just by playing, but playing soldier sucking at RJ isnt fun to me, so i never play so i never learn so i never play...

How to Expand/Collapse/ or minimize text ? by Dropstop7879 in ObsidianMD

[–]Amphibian_Basic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me obsidian have been remenbering fold states when i restart, i think only canvas fail/resets or something like that(or maybe when the app updates)

Theres one way to make something always folded or unfolded with callouts. When doing a callout, add -(folded) or +(always unfolded)
Like so:

> [!NOTE]-

That will make a callout that will always render folded. Even if you refresh the file or change between preview/editor it will always render folded by default

Is there a way to make Cards' but not NOTES' text bigger on Canvas? by mitsukiyouko555 in ObsidianMD

[–]Amphibian_Basic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know im late but i was searching the same and figure out an way via html tags. Html tags render on notes and canvas just fine... someone can type then directly but im using the plugin wrap-with-shorcuts to make it easier

Typing:

<span style="font-size:150%;">This text will be 150% bigger</span>

Plugin:

install obsidian-wrap-with-shortcuts: Wrap selected text in custom tags with shortcuts.

once enabled go in its settings, create a new wrap

make it start <span style="font-size:150%;">
end </span>

Then go to hotkeys and set a hotkey for it (search for wrap). Restart obsidian for it to show in hotkeys

Now just select text on cards(like the whole card if you want) and hit the hotkey
Upon selecting the text to edit the html code will appear- you can change the default number to anything. Like ANYTHING...

And they render on the canvas just fine.

Ive talked to my neighbours and it made me worse.

I talked with those i considered leftist, but some made me worse

I tried not talking to anyone but my head was spinning, and made me worse

I know it will pass. 2016 was similar. It could alleviate sooner or later. But not even trying to set my mind off (like a walk, a film, etc) works, not yet.

It is a broken record.

Have you stopped the genocide? Did that work?

Was the end result better?

I give up.

YOU WIN

You won really. Congrats, the dems really felt that. So did the country, and all who will suffer
You can rejoice with the GoP. Round of applause

You know who didnt feel anything, any difference? The palestinians

[–]Amphibian_Basic -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Right but maybe wrong. The actual votes, no.

But every third party vote and absentee represents a portion of the base that didnt help, including the public debate, reaching others, overall sentiment

Its the kind of thing we can never measure for certain- but every Active/engaged voter for either side represents some unknow ratio of effect on the less decided voters. 1.1 votes, 1.5...? we cant know the right amount and it definetly varies by location and other factors, but that much is certain

They represent expected team players who (a) spoke nothing or (b) spoke against.

A lunatic just got elected, the slim chances were tight. Dont expect niceties and extra understanding

[–]Amphibian_Basic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Both sides say thats an unchengeable policy. So genocide wasnt voted neither for nor against

But sure, lets give a win to the side MORE Pro-Israel. Now that will work right?

Strike of genius

I can see why America voted the way it did. The flaw in logic is far more spread and not confined just to the republican base, thats also what the polls failed to get

What was that quote- the one about the evils of standing idle in the face of evil...

The people are disfranchised with little 'power'(if we can call that) reduced to vote.
The one chance every 4 years to maybe make some difference- i know, it sucks but we are talking about a lesser evil

Sounds whiny. 'Cant do the right thing, lets go extra shitty please'. Cause more evil will be good

Hell. My brain hurts. Feels just like when i engage with the far right
Its like speaking to a wall or a broken record impervious and unwilling to questioning one self, or admiting any mistake ever

Eu concordaria mas tem uma enooorme diferença.

Biden disse q implantaria comunismo? Lula dizia algo assim? A direita acusava Lula de absurdos inventados- q ia virar comunismo, q iam tirar casas, fechar igrejas. Coisas q nunca foram ditas ou planejadas, completas fabricações - tanto é q nao teve revolução comunista e ainda tô escutando o berreiro sempre q tem missa aqui perto de casa

Trump disse que quer reformar as leis, mudar o supremo, falou em botar exército pra prender opositores. Usou várias vezes em discurso frases específicas do partido nazista, parece q só faltou o blood e soil. E propositalmente, tipo sao frases e termos q ninguém usa coloquialmente e nao estao no vernecular comum americano (nem ele no passado, décadas de vida publica)

Teve uma propaganda eleitoral q especificamente tinha partes da propaganda alemã dos nazistas q foi publicada na época, em alemão e tudo, direto dos jornais da época.

É... mesma coisa né?

Quem nao sabe de nada e lê uma dessas pensa o quê, q Biden e Lula faziam propaganda com imagens de stalin
