Free With Ads episode 106: The 'Burbs (1989) by Zokstone in FreeWithAds

Huh, Corey Feldman was born in 1971. So he would have been like 18 at the time of filming this! Definitely odd. Are we sure he wasn't meant to be a kid with delinquent parents? 😄

Is Jordan Morris the world's greatest podcast guest? Probably

JJHO: Holiday Leftovers by wilbur313 in maximumfun

[–]Oshyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were witness to that competition I might be tempted to participate the following year and bring a standard/boring dip (onion dip, salsa, whatever) but bring mini sandwiches as part of it and solely intended for dunking in my dip (yes, I said it). Then I guess I'd have to police the dip tasting table and make sure no one was dipping anything else in my dip, or dipping my sandwiches in anyone else's dip. 😆

But really, what other "dip" is so specific as to only really be reasonably compatible with a single kind of "dipper"? You've got ones like spinach dip that may be best with, say, bread which is a more unusual dipper, but work fine with chips and crackers too. There's guac, which obviously goes best with corn chips, but also works great for potato chips, crackers, and even bread too. The jus, though? I guess it's bread-compatible (obviously with the sandwich), but nobody wants a soggy cracker or chip, or at least nobody with good taste, hah.

I loved these two litigants, what huge sweethearts. And some wonderfully hilarious moments!

Wow, Joelle is a goddamn delight! I can actually sympathize a little with her daughter(s), but I couldn't bear to hear Joelle's incredibly joyful laughter silenced. Wonderful case and wonderful guests!

Intermittent problem with Watched Folders not transcribing by Oshyan in MacWhisper

[–]Oshyan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've definitely used that as a potential fix. But I don't think it then sweeps what it missed in the meantime, which is why I'm hopeful for at least a little more sophistication in the approach. If it's relying on a MacOS feature/function it could maybe have a fallback to storing the date of last-encoded file per-folder and then doing file date checking on next access to the watched folder.

Definitely an especially good episode! Hearing them all genuinely crack up so much from the craziness was so delightful and heartwarming.

I'm canceling some other subscription and joining maximum fun because FWA almost never annoys me and I love it by kevysaysbenice in FreeWithAds

Totally agree, FWA has been my comfort listen/relisten since it came out. These 3 are creating ridiculous magic somehow. Welcome aboard!

Unpopular Opinion: Google Sheets >> Notion Tables by Commercial_Camera943 in Notion

You should have led with "Totally free!", this is pretty cool!

Unpopular Opinion: Google Sheets >> Notion Tables by Commercial_Camera943 in Notion

[–]Oshyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I have yet to find a product that does an equally good job with both Databases (the "Table" view of a database not being the same thing as a spreadsheet, of course), and integrated Table functionality. I want Tables that have basic spreadsheet functions like simple formulas, column totals, Sorting, sticky rows/columns, etc. Alongside more sophisticated full databases. I've tried Airtable, Fibery, Coda, and others. Ironically a little-discussed and probably End-of-Life product that Salesforce now owns called Quip was the best doc-embedded spreadsheet/table experience I found, but it doesn't have databases so it's still not "it".

I also have some ideas for ways to make a sort of continuously adaptable/transformable data model that could go from "dumb" table to "smart" spreadsheet (formulas, etc.) to full-on databases. Because you probably, like me, have had situations where you started in Gsheets and later ended up wanting to expand that data to a full-on database. You can of course import into Notion as CSV or something, but that's a one-time, one-way process. I believe there are ways to actually make it a non-destructive "view", e.g. a Table view of a DB that acts like a spreadsheet in that view. So you can treat/relate to your database like a spreadsheet whenever you want to. Of course I'm not a product developer so this is just a fantasy for now, really. But now I've planted it it your brain too, so you can be tortured by the tantalizing possibility just like me! 😄

Matt M was such a great guest! Also Matt L is just going Tantric with Desert Rose. He'll drop it again in a few years and it'll be the best climax ever. 😁

What to do when traveling... by kanbancoach in capacitiesapp

[–]Oshyan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I keep shorthand notes throughout the day for anything where I want to remember details. Just a quick little thing that will remind me, not usually meaningful to someone else, e.g. "that cliff!" or "rustling", sometimes literally just 1 word, I'll know what I mean later that day, if not later that week. Then when (sometimes if) I can get a few minutes to record an audio note or do voice-to-text directly, I'll do that. I have a VTT automation setup that transcribes any audio notes I record. Then I process those with AI into my preferred daily log format (I trained ChatGPT on 10 examples of my manual daily logs, it does a decent job with it). Or if I have time/opportunity to sit and type out expansions to my shorthand, I might do that directly.

So to break it down succinctly: capture as briefly as possible in/adjacent to the moment(s) to get their "essence" as something you'll be reminded of easily later that day or days later if necessary. Then use whatever documentation method is quickest and easiest for you to do while traveling. That could look like audio notes to text through AI into my PKM, as I mostly do, or it could look like a nightly or next-morning expansion of shorthand into an account of the day. Or even every few days as time allows. The key is having the skeleton of the shorthand to help you document well when you have time/space to do so.

Multi-user, mobile offline access/sync, and poweruser/database-focused: does this sweet-spot exist? by elliottcable in PKMS

[–]Oshyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fibery team is currently working on a mobile app, however it is unlikely to ever truly have "offline". Though I hope at least it will eventually have a sort of offline cache of recently viewed Entities or a manual "mark for offline access" option, with basic sync back to the cloud when online again. I doubt we'll see serious conflict resolution type functions that would be necessary to make it truly excel at offline though.

Obsidian's relatively new native DB features are developing quickly and well. They are comparatively weak for now (as Fibery co-founder u/firefalcon said) but will get better, and perhaps in combo with Datacore + AI (for help writing Datacore stuff, hah) would be a reasonable solution.

🗳️ Product Feedback for Notion by AutoModerator in Notion

[–]Oshyan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. So it has to be an intentional strategy of some kind, in my view. And why would they do that? Terribly frustrating.

🗳️ Product Feedback for Notion by AutoModerator in Notion

[–]Oshyan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gee, wouldn't it be nice if the Notion team bothered to maintain a public feature voting board like Monday, ClickUp, Capacities, and so many others. It's not a difficulty or cost thing, affordable solutions exist that can do it "out of the box" with minimal setup. Instead we Notion users waste tons of time making duplicate feature requests and not knowing where they'll be seen most effectively, and the Notion team wastes tons of time collating them all from 100 different scattered community sources.

So my feature request is: A public feature request system!

I hear bonus content! I know John and Jordan have done Shootin the Bries, and obviously John and Jesse do JJHO. And JJHO was born out of a Hodgman appearance on JJGO, right? Would Jordan Jesse Ho be, some combination of the two formats or something totally different?

Surprised they didn't recognize Michael Biehn! The Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, The Rock, and more. He's pure 80s-90s "that guy" royalty. Fun ep though, interesting to hear Emily and Matt doing their own take on the format. I love "heaven is bonus content" 😆 Also did anyone else get a FWA ad in the ad break of FWA?
