This makes a lot of sense! I’m going to give it another shot with these insights in mind. I think if I frame it as a future-facing tool like you describe I’ll avoid a lot of my previous mistakes.

Thanks for explaining :)

This is really helpful, thanks!

I think I need more practice with knowing when to create a node. In the past, every single entry would look like this:

I went to [Alice] birthday party and met [Bob]. We talked about [clouds].

And that got very cumbersome. I like your suggestion of using back links to create a better summary document.

Got it, I see what you mean. Thanks for this!

I keep failing to make Zettelkasten and org-roam work for me. Do you use a single knowledge base for your whole life, with millions of tags and pages? Or should I be making separate directories for each project? Is the “daily journal” the best place to put everything, with well tagged entries?

You don’t have to answer all of those!

What a weird situation. I suppose it’s nice those workarounds exist, even if they’re not ideal.

Interesting! I assume it involves a smart plug and an automation script that monitors battery level?

Wow, Graphene really doesn’t have charging limits?

I assume this is the discussion you referred to, and I think it broke my trust in the project.

Edit: As far as I can tell, many of the frustrating parts of that thread are from random posters and not devs. I’m still annoyed that such a basic feature is considered controversial.

Looks way more capable than the PineTime, which is awesome. But there’s no way the blood pressure sensor is reliable, right?

What scanners do people recommend?

Vermillion VR, if it’s available! I’ve been curious about it for a while.

This is really nice of you, thanks!

Edit: Sent a PM.

The homepage makes me think that it’s a translation tool similar to DeepL. Is that the part you’re recommending?

It’s worth pointing out that they’re now a publicly traded company.

I would buy a name card to place in front of it that says “Whimsical Porch Rock” because the name is vital to the experience.

Wow, you weren’t kidding! Makes me think it’s a sketchy add-on, even if it’s not.

Do you find that the mobile Logseq app takes ages to open, or is my phone just too old? I really want to like Logseq, but it wasn’t snappy enough.

I can relate to this so I’ll just add that aligning my diet with my values was the best decision I’ve ever made. Being able to eat without feeling guilty/confused/complicated was life-changing. I didn’t do it all at once, or torture myself.

And we live at this amazing time when you can be lazy AND get amazing not-morally-horrible food! Typing this as I munch on an entire package of addictive store bought animal-free chocolate chip cookies :P
