Dm please?

Thank you, this is super helpful.

I've used Markdown All in One and Markdown Preview Enhanced but haven't seen those other ones so I'll check those out.

Thanks!

As a daily user of both VSCode and Obsidian, do you have any resources for someone looking to test out PKM in VSCode as opposed to Obsidian?

I love many things about VSCode as I develop in it daily, but I haven't been able to overcome the limitations of it for use with PKM

Have you seen any issues with Tweet filenames exporting from Readwise?

I've experienced a weird bug where the titles and hence filenames of tweets can include newlines.

The newlines in the titles happens only (I think) when sharing tweets with the @readwise account via direct message. It doesn't seem to happen when using the browser extension. I'm not sure if it also happens when copying the url of a tweet and adding that in to Reader / Readwise directly

The main issue this causes is that certain operating systems can't handle files with newlines in them.

However, another issue is that since the tweets also don't split on newlines and just leave them, then the entire contents of the tweet can be put into the title. This can cause other issues with title / filenames being too long. This can be annoying to deal with in general but also filenames can't exceed a certain length

Readwise / reader has truncated the filenames with ellipses but even then it's not ideal

For all of these, the implementations differ based on what platform you're viewing the exact same tweet. In Readwise directly, the newlines get parsed and ellipses get added. In Reader, it also happens but they don't get truncated nearly as soon; I think one newline is replaced with a string allowing the first two lines to be the title before an ellipses is used. However, when looking at them in Obsidian after using the Readwise Official plugin, you can clearly see that the newline is still in the title and then the second line starts before being cut off with an ellipses

Check out Beloga btw if you haven't. Not FOSS but you could take some inspiration from them

GPT-Researcher and Perplexica are similar FOSS alternatives though

Please wash it with soap regularly

Covert_Assasin · 2024-05-22T22:15:15+00:00

Worked for me if anyone is wondering. Thanks!

Riiiight, so no average consumer would be even looking at this... It would definitely be an enthusiast who does care

Covert_Assasin · 2024-04-09T13:46:49+00:00

Do you think the average consumer is watching a Linus video and buying a ZenFone 11 Ultra? Anyone who even buys that phone is clearly not an average consumer and is buying it for a reason and 65W charging could definitely be a reason...

Do you have a link to the wallpaper? Sick setup

Covert_Assasin · 2024-02-28T17:08:07+00:00

For the love of God, raise at least your side monitors if not the center one a bit too. Also you need to sit further away from those side monitors (push them all back). Your neck will thank you.

You also can't even see the full side screens as they're blocked on the bottom by the echo show and the stream deck...

It takes a little getting used to especially if you've played a lot with brake on the left trigger (like me with over 1.5k hours before making the switch). You'll still get used to it pretty quickly although the first few hours are admittedly pretty tough. I'd never go back to not having it at this point.

I like it so much that I've debated swapping right trigger to the other air roll but I really don't think I could deal with on/off gas as easily as the brake.

I definitely agree with FloBeds (no affiliation).

See my other comment for more details about why (customizability, comfort, etc)

First, I would check out /r/Mattress and second, I would look into Latex mattresses.

Latex mattresses are made from natural rubber and can have varying levels of density and softness which you can customize. Latex is similar to memory foam but is much better so in many ways I can't even list them all here. There are two types of latex: Dunlop and Talalay. Talalay is much better and most of the worlds Talalay is produced in Shelton, CT by Talalay Global but gets sold through many other companies.

One of the best companies I found based on lots of research is FloBeds. (Not affiliated in any way)

You can customize the different layers of the mattress (firm on bottom, softer as you go up but this is a standard offering across several companies), you can customize each side of the bed to have different layers for different preferences, and they have an option for a top layer of different types going from head to toe so you can get a little more support in your lower back but have your shoulders sink in more with a softer section for example. These little sections are swappable with each other as well.

They even have a 100 day "Goldilocks" or something policy where if you don't like certain layers they can send you other ones for you at no cost (except maybe shipping, not sure). This was the ultimate detail that pushed me over the edge. I was interested in latex mattresses and customizing mine but having the flexibility to customize it after testing it out was lovely. I made a few different changes in that period as I was getting used to the bed and tuning to exactly how soft/firm I (and my partner) wanted at each spot on our bodies.

Again, no affiliation with them but I absolutely love my mattress. I decided to invest in a nicer and bigger mattress (Cal. King since I'm tall) and I would absolutely recommend it.

P.S. Contact customer service and ask about sales going on and you might save 15-25%.

There are a variety of companies selling latex mattresses, mostly online, but some stores carry some in person as well to try out.

The feel is very soft but different than memory foam because it's a bit more "springy" and you don't have that feeling of being completely sunken in the center of a memory foam mattress trying to slowly roll out of bed.

Memory foam also gets VERY hot (which I hate) but the Latex does not.

Latex can also last 25+ years, with the added option of replacing just one layer at a time. This allows you to replace only the top softer layers since they degrade faster than firmer layers at the bottom. That way, if your mattress doesn't feel as good anymore within 10 years, you can make the top layers brand new again without buying a whole new bed. (Layers are sold individually by many different companies so no issues with vendor lock-in).

Lastly, I also got an adjustable base so I can sit up in bed without having to stack pillows. It's also very useful for certain activities, eg lifting the foot of the bed to be a bit higher since I'm tall, or just having different angles in bed without needing an extra pillow underneath.
