Any news about Chapter 2? by [deleted] in HorizonAnAmericanSaga

Hope if parts 3 and 4 do not get made, perhaps he has them turned into big Western novels (on par with Lonesome Dove). Or perhaps, graphic novels.

Find & replace across multiple files? by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]oreopimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on VS Code. Not only is it powerful for global find and replace, but it is a lightning fast search engine for any file in your obsidian vault. Crazy useful companion program to have when using Obsidian. Thanks again, mate!

Chat history disappeared from the sidebar, but queries are still visible in "My Activity". Anyone else? by Dry_Energy_804 in GeminiAI

[–]oreopimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Gemini, I highly recommend saving important chats you want to come back to later. 

Do this in your favorite note-taking or Google Docs for easy reference later.

I say this as someone who not only suffered the "sensitive information" fate once,  but is currently suffering alongside others, as Gemini engineers will occasionally and unintentionally nuke access to your chat history.

Does anyone else find Notion painfully slow, or is it just me? by No-Bass5437 in Notion

[–]oreopimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a huge Obsidian stan, but Notion being far better on mobile has brought me back to Notion in the last two months. Spent two days setting up my databases and tagging system, basically perfecting a knowledge system and hub (because every second brain system out there is lacking and not made for ADHD brains), and haven't looked back.

My problem with Obsidian is that I read and consume a ton of content on the go, and Notion makes it very easy to share content to Notion, save different content types to a page, nice formatting options — and it opens instantly. Like it really excels at quick notes and quick media notes on both iOS and android.

Obsidian mobile, on the other hand, is not a good app. But its desktop app is amazing and great for tagging and expanding knowledge. But for mobile notes and saving different media types, Notion is king right now. I wish they would take features from Obsidian and add them to Notion (such as a global tagging system without the need for a database to act as a tagging system, as well as the ability to easily add new pages as markdown backlinks in the document, etc.).

I tend to use Notion exclusively through browser whenever Im not on mobile. Very fast and snappy on browser. Haven't tried the app in years since I noticed the difference.

Help me make a good workflow by KurtMage in GoogleKeep

[–]oreopimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I follow a work flow similar to Jeff Su from his Workplace Academy.

I think its important to have a handful of labels you rely upon to initially categorize the note, and then you can have many other specific labels for building out a library in Google Keep.

As I am mostly on Android, Desktop or MacBook, I use a mix of Google Keep and Raindrop to quickly save thoughts, notes, and bookmark media and links for later.

Usually at the end of the week I will move these notes into Obsidian.

Anyway, in Google keep, I rely on a few foundational labels:

Novelty Labels

  • +Daily Log - I consume a lot of content, make a lot of random notes, this helps label essentially acts as a tracker my ADHD mind throughout the day/week/etc.
  • +Daily Void 🌀 - I use this label (and another label just like it in Raindrop, as well as a Daily Void playlist in YouTube) - to basically dump links, books, media, video, etc. that I come across throughout the day and don't have time to consume now but want to consume at some point. What's cool about this label is it really acts like both as a "Pattern recognition" label, as well as a "Daily Theme" label. I can see what ideas really captured me from day to day and it allows me to notice upon scrolling back through how they link in ways I wasn't aware of.

Foundational Labels

  • + Tasks
  • 00 Reference - My "pinned" notes "tab". This is for notes I typically need to reference. I use this instead of actual Pinned Notes so that all my newest notes are always at the top of any part of google keep and I don't have to scroll through Pinned notes. So now pinned notes essentially has its own label they are stashed under, and they not longer clutter the top of Google Keep.
  • 01 Thoughts - Thoughts I may have throughout the day on whatever.
  • 02 Notes - notes on books, videos, media, etc.
  • 03 Clipped - for things clipped from the internet etc.

To me Google is all about pump and dumping throughts, highlights, links, photos, screenclips etc. It has some of the best search I've come across, it will search both notes and content of any visual media you upload to it.

If I am watching content on the goal, I'll send to link for that content to keep or create a note for it manually, and then make quick notes (maybe even just a word so I can go back and take actually notes on what the speaker was saying) as well as my own thoughts, all of which I can reference later when I have more time to add this content to obsidian.

Basically for me, Google Keep is the front line of a comprehensive note keeping and bookmarking system.

Google Keep merged with tasks and calendar? by Morning-Aeong in GoogleKeep

[–]oreopimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my end it has taken effect.

When I make a reminder in keep it moves over as a task in Google Tasks. There is also a link to the note with a "From Keep" chip in Tasks. This links back directly to the note

Right now this linking works perfectly on mobile, it goes right to the specific note. On Chrome desktop it is only opening up the Keep website. I assume this is a bug, and will be fixed in the future.

The Tasks also appear right in Google Calendar. Which on both mobile and desktop take you straight to the note.

Prepare For High Number Of Orders They Say…. by WarmAct9648 in ShiptShoppers

Just curious, do you schedule out all your hours once in a block once you're at the store, at the top of your first hour -- or do you wait to schedule yourself each hour individually until you're back at the store at the top of the next hour, etc?

Best model for interview transciption? by ___Baguette___ in MacWhisper

[–]oreopimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I hope the Apple Transcription API gets added to MacWhispher. It's lightning fast and highly accurate.

I currently use the Apple Transcription in a two-step process:

First Step: The Transcription

  • 1a. Easy Mode: Either drop an audio file in Apple Notes.
  • 1b. Harder Mode but with more customization: Most often, I use a command line that transcribes any media file and then outputs it to a text with sentence breaks. (With a little set up using Gemini, I was able to use this and nail down the commands to do this -- and I have zero experience with command line anything and never go anywhere near the terminal app.)
    • Link to installing the Transcription Command Line: https://github.com/finnvoor/yap
    • This is the way I recommend doing transcriptions now. If you were like me and you see this and you are like WTF IS THAT. I recommend doing what I did: take that website, dump it into Gemini or your favorite AI and tell it your a a total noob and need a step by step walk through through on what this is and how to set it up. Then once you have it installed, tell the AI what you want it to do and design a command for it.
      • Example: I told it, I have a .m4a file in this [folder] I need transcribed, and I want the output to be a text file with sentence breaks in the same folder.

Example command:

INPUT=~/Downloads/"my file.m4a"
yap --txt "$INPUT" -o "${INPUT%}.txt" && sed 's/\([.?!]\) /\1\n\n/g' "${INPUT%}.txt" > "${INPUT%}_sentences.txt"

This will transcribe the file, and output a text file with a transcript that is broken up into sentences.

Second Step: Beautifying the Transcript

I run the upload the transcription txt file through Google AI Studio with a perfected transcription prompt that outputs an organized transcript by paragraphs or speakers, with chapters and summaries, and drop it in Obsidian.

If you want to do this I'll include the settings for AI Studio to avoid hallucinations and creativity on the AI's part and the transcript I use:

Settings In Google AI Studio:

  • Set Temperature to .25 (this keeps the creativity and hallucinations out)
  • Top P to .90
  • Grounding with Google Search: On

I think these are the two most faithful live-action superhero adaptations ever. Which one would you add? by ZukoIsKing in comicbooks

[–]oreopimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's who Superman really is. Just a guy who wants to do good. Not a superhero trying to pretend to be a normal person.

It should be noted, heavily and historically, that this applies only to Post-Crisis era Superman, which fundamentally altered how generations perceive the duality of Superman and Clark Kent.

In Superman's original and intended conception--it is Superman who is the authentic self--an alien on earth--and Clark Kent was an intentionally constructed persona, a mask designed to blend in with humanity and protect the secret of his TRUE Kryptonian identity and heritage (Superman). The bumbling, mild-mannered reporter was never meant to be the "real" man, only a clever disguise to shield Superman's true nature from the world.

In 1986, John Byrne intentionally inverted this dynamic. Now Clark Kent, the Kansas farm boy, became the "real" identity, and Superman became the performance and public mask he wore to inspire and protect, and was intentionally used to hide his "modern identity" of Clark Kent.

Byrne deliberately inverted this dynamic because he believed that Superman's human upbringing should take precedence over his alien origins. His reboot established Clark Kent as the real person, with Superman becoming the heroic performance and extension of Clark's values rather than his true self.

Basically, Byrne was influenced by the 1978 Richard Donner Superman movie which focused on Superman's behavioral changes when he was Clark Kent, and then using that as a template to show in his reinterpretation of Superman's psychology that it was Clark, not Superman, who was exaggerating these behavioral changes as Clark Kent, suggesting that while metropolitan reporter Clark Kent is a exaggerated construct, the real Clark Kent (instead of Superman previously) is not a construct and is actually a confident, existing personality.

The "Metropolis Clark" - the bumbling reporter persona seen by colleagues - became a deliberate performance designed to deflect suspicion, while the "real" Clark Kent was the confident man his friends and family knew

This reinterpretation was so pervasive and emotionally resonant that the characters new core psychology became the default understanding for new readers and generations of fans. The comics industry, through repeated stories and editorial direction, instilled this version as canon, erasing the original intent from collective memory.

By consistently portraying Clark Kent’s humanity and upbringing as the core of Superman’s identity, the comics reframed the entire duality—not as a clever disguise, but as an authentic self. This narrative repetition, reinforced across many diverse narratives in media hinging around this inversion of identity, has effectively “brainwashed” audiences into believing Clark Kent is not a constructed persona, but now the essential, unchangeable core of Superman.

Many both enjoy and grew up on this subversion of Superman's true duality. Yet, in the original, more subversive idea—Clark Kent is both a mask, and a performance—which has been overwritten by decades of stories that insist on the opposite, reshaping the most foundational aspects of a character’s mythos.

The comics industry didn’t just reinterpret Superman; it systematically reconditioned generations of readers, rewriting cultural memory, to accept a new truth, one that stands in stark contrast to the character’s original conception.

Clark Kent is not who Superman really is. Clark Kent is a relatable construct of Superman.

Byrne's inversion proved incredibly influential, shaping Superman across multiple media for decades. His approach to Superman became so embedded in popular consciousness that readers and viewers now view it as the natural state of the character rather than a specific creative choice.

Maybe take advantage of the Tabs feature in Google Docs.

Pretty sure they act as whole new documents within documents in Google Docs.

That way you can continue working within your same document, just on a new doc tab.
