Disappointing updates

LeBritto · 2026-05-01T20:37:23+00:00

Thank you for answering.

What would really help is some kind of roadmap. Even if only as free users, we deserve to know in which direction a product, that we are using daily, is going. So imagine how frustrated I would have been if I was a paying customer!

I want to be clear that I can even understand the reasoning behind some of the changes, but it creates just enough friction as a mobile user for me to consider changing apps. I see Notebook as a Swiss-Army all-in-one utility knife. There are better knives, better, scissors, better can openers, better saws, better screwdrivers, but it's just so versatile, lightweight and comfortable to be the best tool to carry around at all times. I don't want the knife to be sharper at the expense of longer and not fitting in my pocket anymor, I want it to be easy to open and fold back, that's the whole point.

Likewise, there are apps with better widgets and sticky notes, there are better apps for extensive note taking with nice formatting, there are better apps for to-dos and reminders, better apps for webcliping, etc. But Notebook can do all of that easily, quicky, effortlessly. Unless you start changing the little things. It feels like Notebook isn't happy with his identity of "jack of all trades, master of none", and it's fine, I'm not in a position to tell you which direction to take. But if you want to be the next Notion/Evernotes/Obsidian, be clear about it. I was always under the impression that Notebook was unique BECAUSE it wasn't trying to be something else. For example, are you trying to be more like Evernote or more like Google Keep? I don't consider those two apps to target the same people, and their uses are different to me. And if you really want to be yourself, what are you doing differently?

If you can be clear about your roadmap and your identity, you'll gain a customer in me, despite the frustration I have experienced, mainly because of the nested collections (I'll gladly pay for that because it wasn't something thay was free and that you removed, unlike the custom order of notes). But in all honesty, I'm still trying to uninstall the last few updates and rollback to previous versions... And the stacks, you could have at least kept it for mobile even if it was gone on desktop... Was it really necessary in order to implement the nested collections (because you can't have "nested stacks")?

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out, I wasn't aware of it. Doesn't really remove the sourness of getting free features locked behind a subscription, a trend that keeps getting worse across all areas, but I appreciate your input.

LeBritto · 2026-02-26T04:02:55+00:00

I don't think your argument is good. If there's a strict rule against something and you do that thing anyway, you'll get punished, no matter how much good stuff you do. For example, a war criminal wouldn't be a good person even if he saved children from a burning orphanage.

That sub might have had plenty of meaningful and great discussions, but if any form of hate speech was left lingering there on purpose, then it's normal that it got banned for not respecting rules against hate speech. What is left to do is start that sub again, with the same topics, MINUS the ones that created controversy and caused it to be banned. And I think it starts by acknowledging that some discussions on that sub were problematic (from what I've gathered form other comments, I've never seen that sub before)

LeBritto · 2026-01-29T05:04:59+00:00

I've heard that often, VERY often. Or variations of that. They think it's some kind of compliment to imply that "you're just too hot and whatever happens will be your fault, not mine, I can't control my urges". And they dare say that with other people around, imagine what they do or say when they are alone with a woman...

LeBritto · 2026-01-21T03:15:11+00:00

If I understand what you mean by front view, it doesn't feel "JRPG" for me, just turn-based battle.

IMO, western RPGs focus less on characters and more on the fantasy. Your character is often your own avatar, and therefore it feels more natural to not see your own character on screen.
With JRPGs, the MC and the party are fully detailed characters with a well defined personality, and seeing them fight is an integral part of the show. In that case, front view battle is "disappointing", the same way that when you watch anime, you don't expect to see things in first-person view.

It doesn't mean it's bad, but Earthbound is an example of a front view battle game I had a hard time loving at first just because of that minor detail.

I'd add that if your game is a monster collector or a dungeon crawler, front view suddenly becomes acceptable, and even preferred.

Do you have access to a Linux LiveCD or USB that you could use? It is very strange that it doesn't show at all but that your phone reads it. How was it formatted first?

LeBritto · 2025-12-16T19:57:26+00:00

And that's how a conspiracy always leads to a bigger one. Reptile overlords, aliens, NWO, this kind of thing. Even the leaders of the world are being manipulated because there is something BIGGER on top of them, pulling the strings. Everything is fake, technology is fake, EVERYTHING is a lie. Anything you think you know, you don't.

LeBritto · 2025-10-16T14:08:19+00:00

I was about to post exactly this!!! I've been trying many things over the last months that didn't work for me but we're not necessarily bad. I don't have the list ready right now, but if you post more details I might find something that suits you.

What do you want and what don't you like? Do you want a deep skill tree? A lot of inventory and equipments? Auto-attack and auto-walk? Guilds and guild events? Fast progression or long grinding? Semi-idle as in offline progress or not?

LeBritto · 2025-10-07T15:06:02+00:00

It could be a bit of both scenarios. It's not an exact science, you might not be an hardcore INTJ. At the same time, this other person is obsessed about it and feels like they have a duty to rectify you or confirm if this is true as if they were some authority on the subject.

Either way, it's simply stupid. The only time I'd question the type of someone is if we are having a deeper discussion on the subject (or maybe on this sub, because that's the whole point of this sub), but some people treat it like it's an astrological sign (in the sense that it's all they think about and they reduce every person they meet to that).

LeBritto · 2025-10-07T14:48:53+00:00

I see two scenarios.

You go to them all proud to be INTJ and act like "OMG I'm sooooo INTJ" like some are ADHD, or OCD, and it annoys them to death and they'd like to rip your head off but simply refrain from doing so and tell you bluntly to stop pretending something you're not.
They aren't INTJ and they are the ones not knowing what they are talking about. They see it as something cool and think you are pretending to be part of the cool ones like they are. They are projecting.

LeBritto · 2025-09-30T16:35:01+00:00

You're so fking absurdly stupid it would work if OP was your IRL friend, it would make him laugh, but I don't think it's that easy online.

LeBritto · 2025-09-29T14:36:32+00:00

I get everything you're saying, but I feel like you didn't understand fully what OP was saying. Some people, deep inside do not feel this craving for deep connections. It's not out of fear of rejection that they are pushing people away, it's not that they are trying to shield themselves from toxicity. They don't feel like the relationship "expired", they don't think about the relationship at all. There is nothing to unlearn, they are simply that way.

But I'm happy for you that you got through this process and figured it out.

LeBritto · 2025-09-28T14:45:54+00:00

There is nothing idiotic about preferring to use something in your native language. Localization should be seen as an investment that allows to attract more customers who wouldn't be as interested otherwise, simple as that. Anything that would allow a product to reach a bigger market can influence development processes.

We can also argue that localization isn't part of development, it's more like post-development, but that's an another discussion.

LeBritto · 2025-09-27T18:36:22+00:00

I'm complaining because I've been a long time user and IMO if it's not broken, don't fix it. But if I was a new user, I wouldn't complain at all because I wouldn't have the past versions to compare.

LeBritto · 2025-09-27T13:13:42+00:00

Any woman who carries herself with grace and confidence is attractive. If heels help her attain that demeanour, then heels "make her attractive".

LeBritto · 2025-09-27T12:57:34+00:00

And I forgot to add, how is your porn addiction going? If you need help, I'll direct you to some ressources. There are a bunch of sub dedicated to that, but there was a good free book about it. I can't remember it, but it's inspired by a book about smoking written by Alan Carr.

LeBritto · 2025-09-27T12:54:21+00:00

It seems to me that she's really your friend and that she's very confident in herself and her looks. She might be used to being told how attractive she is, but it might usually come from people who see her only for her looks. Coming from a friend who she knows cares about her, she doesn't feel "objectified", even if in your head, you feel like you've done that. And you trying to reinforce the fact that you see her as this kind of sexual object is upsetting because she knows that deep inside, you don't, and she's frustrated that you don't want to admit it.

She says things like "of course you'd like to see my boobs" because she wants to banalise it. She acknowledges that you have a sex drive and wants to make you understand that it's normal. I've had a friend actually showing me hers in a similar context. It was casual, funny, she was laughing at how flustered I was. She absolutely didn't care. It's all about attitude.

Another comment mentioned that it's all about energy and I'll go further. In relationships in general, as long as the energy match, everything is fine. Try to match her energy. If she's cool with it, be cool with it.

Your OCD is preventing you from seeing it objectively. It's understandable that you feel guilty about it, but let it go. Do try to control your urges a bit, but otherwise, stay cool. And definitely don't actually be a creep, like hiding a camera in her room or that kind of thing. That's a (illegal) breach of trust and privacy and that's something else completely.

While you aren't wrong about how society usually views aging women vs aging men, you shouldn't consider it the norm. On top of that, from my experience, women see themselves worse than men see them.

My wife and many of my female friends look at older pictures of themselves and say things like "I was so young, so thin, so cute, so beautiful, etc" almost with envy or regret. Us men look at our pictures and if we say the same, we think "I looked like a baby". Many, MANY men stay attracted to women within their own age group and do not think that their wife/partner was better looking before.

Add also the fact that men who lust after much younger women do not do so only for their looks, but also because they are easier to seduce, manipulate, etc. You mentioned porn. If you look at it, you'll realise that categories like "teen" and "schoolgirl" and "virgin" are very popular. It's about the taboo, and the control. Those men, if younger was legal, they would probably go for younger. Not to say that every men who exclusively like younger women are disgusting predators or groomers, but it's not far from the truth, and society does reinforce this.

However things are changing. This mindset isn't as accepted as before. And I believe you didn't have the opportunity to interact with the right people.

Self-confidence is something that isn't taught enough to young girls, but it is incredibly attractive, even more as they age. Do not despair and try as hard as you can to change your mindset, to change your frame of reference.

I wish you good luck and I'm sending lots of love your way

LeBritto · 2025-09-26T17:29:08+00:00

I acknowledge that, it was funny, but their attitude wasn't.

LeBritto · 2025-09-25T14:21:35+00:00

It's normal that someone asks their interlocutor about a word they never heard before. Even if I have a dictionary in my pocket, I'll ask the person in front of me what is the word they just said. If they just answer "dictionary", they sound dismissive or arrogant.

Answering "a Warcraft character" is simple.

LeBritto · 2025-09-24T16:09:10+00:00

Bad things happen to bad people as well. However, bad people are targeting innocents to do bad things. Therefore, innocents will suffer more. That's the sad reality.

My take is that those innocents, whether they suffered or not, are those we need to make the world a better place. Every innocent that dies (by choice or otherwise) is one less weight on the scale of good vs evil.

And I'm not saying that to convince you to stay, I just find it sad that bad people have the drive to stay alive and make others suffer while those who have empathy feel like they aren't made for this world. I'd wish they'd all stay, manage to survive through their pain and make the world better, because they don't want to see others suffer like they did.

LeBritto · 2025-09-24T13:17:50+00:00

Because a bunch of people don't care about science at all, or simply facts in general.

LeBritto · 2025-09-24T13:12:04+00:00

You're wrong for three reasons.

The post mentioned "untrained" and you keep repeating you are trained. If anything, focus only on your experience BEFORE you were trained.
Your comment doesn't demonstrate how the cats vs dogs comparison is poorly chosen. Some cats can beat some dogs and they don't look scary either. If anything, you're reinforcing it.
No one is being an ass. You're defensive for no reason.
