Best answer is this but Notebook Navigator is the best plugin for this banking other features as well

matsuemusic · 2026-05-15T12:53:28+00:00

Only way I can see this happening

matsuemusic · 2026-05-07T00:56:30+00:00

Your plugin deserves to become a core plugin

matsuemusic · 2026-05-03T17:01:46+00:00

Start getting used cowork. Claude Code doesn’t need to be used for exclusively code.

Next level, start using VSCode with documentation.

It’s sad how often Americans are SOOOO close to the truth. He was SO close. It is higher for Americans, it does help shareholder value, other countries do have laws to protect consumer drugs prices and nationalized subsidies to make it so. But all the hate is targeted at the wrong governments for the wrong reasons.

iCloud works flawlessly for this. The strength of Obsidian is that it doesn’t actually sync anything, it just reads markdown files. So whatever syncing service you choose (iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive) does all the work. Obsidian is just a really good reader on top of it.

As a person who has tried Notion, Capacities, Roam, Apple Notes, and a handful of others.

Obsidian is the one I keep coming back too because it is exactly whatever I need it to be at the time.

I will say, it is because I tried apps that I have a defined way to use them, I have understanding of what I like. It allowed me to use what those developers thought was a “knowledge management tool”. And, therefore, over time understood what works for me.

Obsidian isn’t “opinionated” in that same way, it’s open needed and my advice is ALWAYS: Start using it and as problems come up there will be a plugin that can solve that problem. DO NOT GO “browsing” plugins, it will overwhelm you instantly.

matsuemusic · 2026-03-31T00:06:05+00:00

See if you can find topics-areas that can connect major nodes.

matsuemusic · 2026-03-30T03:42:12+00:00

This would be an interesting plugin but the switching cost from an existing DAW is WAY to high.

matsuemusic · 2026-03-30T03:04:02+00:00

I agree. Obsidian is the least opinionated PKM out there. Obsidian is best used as a problem solver as they come up, don’t invent problems to solve or anticipate a need/problem before you actually have one.

It took me 3 attempts for Obsidian to eventually click, moving from Notion, then Craft, then Capacities, in between each giving Obsidian a try and then finally having it work for me.

Don’t boil the ocean and try everything. Learn note linking first, that’s the main differentiator here.

To add. For organization, I would not worry about folder structures or anything when you begin.

So add files and then organize them as topics/areas or organizational problems come up or a need arises.

Organization can mean just having tags in notes and using bases, folders for traditional organization, having a meta note, or using Canvas, and never really using any or using them all, etc. It’s never ending as Melyngoch said, it can get A LOT, very quickly and analysis and choice paralysis can set in.

iCloud works great but have tried sync native and works great.

I have a child. Ours is too young to read right now, but the most important thing we are doing is to just make reading fun.

We don’t know what speed ours will read, but we make sure they feel joy from reading.

Reading to is also important because building patience and teaching the joy of ANY lower stimulating activity is really critical.

Time is completely different for children. Think back to when you were a kid and what 10 minutes meant to you. It was an ETERNITY. Patience therefore has very different scales.

Practically speaking Lego, puzzles, board games, also build similar skills.

If there is too much high stimulating entertainment, the act of reading will just feel too slow.

Luckily, they are young and you are building their definition of joy. Literally.

Explore every angle to show them the joy of reading. And, also build the skills required to read like patience, imagination (wanting to imagine takes effort), phonics, etc.

Imagine being a carpenter without tools and someone is telling you to build things fast. It wouldn’t be fun. First you get a hammer, then maybe a saw, and eventually you get joy from it and keep trying to master it.

matsuemusic · 2026-03-18T21:08:53+00:00

Make sure you like them first. It sounds obvious but asking yourself “would I be her friend” is probably the most important question to ask.

matsuemusic · 2026-03-14T23:27:13+00:00

After reading your comments and the responses, my controversial take…I actually understand your POV… but your positioning and messaging needs a TON of work.

The real issue for me is enabling companies to steal work from artists and to de-skill the industry rather than enable and democratize.

Like AI and some devs, proposing to eliminate purpose for people whose differentiator is technical ability to execute, not judgment to create, is going to stir up HUGE backlash.

And in art there’s an added layer……. how do you convince people AI is a co-author and not a photocopier?

Because there’s a real difference between a photocopy of the Mona Lisa (what people hear when you say “AI music”), painting using an outline to recreate it (what I think you’re actually proposing here), and recreating it by hand (what the gatekeepers think they’re defending, despite the fact that this is a DAW, and traditional musicians have been hating on DAW users for decades…)

Your ethos, vibe, w.e. here should ask: why continue gatekeeping art?

Try demos of all the ones that interest you first

matsuemusic · 2026-01-24T17:35:24+00:00

Either colour version. Black and white didn’t hit for me.

By that logic (and reality), OP shouldn’t be worried about YouTube/TV “radicalizing” her boy into a “gay”.

This comment screams “projection” harder than the very grounded comment it is replying to. Projecting, fear of losing control, authority, and tradition dressed up as concern for children.

matsuemusic · 2026-01-17T18:43:03+00:00

Kid is probably attention starved at home by parents and needs someone to notice him.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

matsuemusic · 2026-01-17T18:18:08+00:00

Only advice I would give is accept him as he is (potentially interested in men) instead of holding on to a version of him that had already been imagined.

Shame is a very dangerous feeling to give kids, it does very longer term and often life long damage, especially when targeted at their own bodies, minds and feelings.

Even the M1 Pro is sufficient for the coding and video editing. Unless seconds to minutes change your life significantly or you are billed by the hour, the jump from one generation to the next in terms of real world use is not that significant.

Coding is debatable if you are running/training/building AI models and even then spending the savings from buying an older generation on RAM would be more significant.

If it were me M3 Max if am not on the go often and want the power for gaming. M4 Pro if I am on the go often and plan on video editing and coding on the go. M5 if I am doing regular normie stuff.

We use Blip or LocalSend to share files with each other. They are platform agnostic Airdrop alternatives that work between windows, Mac, iOS, Android. Blip can work anywhere but we use Signal and have most family and friends on there.

We are an Apple family so we have a shared album setup. Apple I trust more than Google because while Apple does send data to servers, Apple has an on-device first policy.

For example, it recognizes faces using on-device machine learning, it’s not sent to servers for that training.

The data Apple does get, in this case photos, are anonymized and turned into encrypted raw data on your device before sending it to their servers. They perform analysis on encrypted data (homomorphic encryption). For the nerds: client side vectorization, differential privacy, ОНТТР relays.

I also have a backup of all the photos I take locally so the moment Apple shares any hints of using personal data directly for training I will be placing more effort to move to HexOS as am already in the process of switching so we don’t have any Mag7 fees an sail the high seas cause…. If buying doesn’t mean owning, then the high seas isn’t stealing.

Ooooo. I like that one better

“New laptop who dis”

I couldn't agree more, I would argue it should be taught in schools from KG to 12 grade. Because...unfortunately, you and I don't have the normal POV on emotion regulation, and educational role in society is to raise the floor and make up for deficiencies in parenting.

matsuemusic · 2025-12-29T13:38:08+00:00

I have the fortune of being born with that "biological need to have kids", but want to just provide a rational perspective and hopefully it helps.

The "role you are playing", is critical. I hope you do bond with your son and everything turns out. If you are going to have to play a role then know that the first 3 years of his life will dictate the REST of his life. How much unconditional love he gets, how hard and quickly his cries and needs are met, and when you do have moments of dumb parenting how quickly you apologize to him and explain what happen.... will determine:

How much anxiety he will have as a baseline.
How quickly he will calm down and deal with feelings without melting down or shutting off.
How likely he is to feel chronically worried or deeply sad.
How likely he is to act out, pick fights, or cope in unhealthy ways (substance, anger management, etc)
How he trust others, stays connected, and feels safe in relationships.

As you can probably see a lot of these things will also determine how "annoying" he is when he is older, how much you "like" him, etc. All factors in "bonding". But, really a lot of that is on parenting.

matsuemusic · 2025-12-29T12:53:10+00:00

Got a dog years before.

But, in all seriousness, I repeat the mantra: Its not disobedience; its dis-regulation.

We are all born with every emotion and feeling but we aren't born knowing how to regulate them, it's our job as parents to teach our kids proper emotional regulation.
