I've recently migrated to using Obsidian as my software (in fact, I use Obsidian for everything! [...]
I use #Obsidian as well--taking notes on a variety of things such as projects, ideas, problems, interests, reminders, etc.
I've tried some different note-taking methods but those work for some aspects, but not all aspects of what I need to remember.
I agree, different things will require different solutions. There isn't a perfect method for note-taking, otherwise everyone would probably be using it by now. To further highlight this issue, I believe looking at the considerable number of plugins and note-taking apps illustrates this. Regarding some things, I'm still trying to figure out what works for me. I doubt I'll ever find a perfect solution either, but I'm okay with that because perfection is overrated IMO.
The way I use Obsidian is by having the daily note set up with a template which is timestamped and asks loaded questions, with tags, to help me find what subject I want to look back on in certain dates.
I do something similar, but I've revised how I approach my notes. In its current form, my daily notes are only filled with pages for the notes I make that day. I use tags very sparingly, only to highlight key ideas. In the first iteration of my vault, I realized that I had a tendency to overpopulate my notes with unnecessary tags. Currently, I use a hierarchical system to label my notes. While this works for me, this may not work for you, and that's okay. It's just something I've become accustomed to after switching from #Windows to #Linux. Organizing my notes in this manner allows me to navigate through my notes more quickly and effectively than rummaging through a folder-based/GUI-based methodology. Utilizing header markdown was also useful for dividing some pages into different sections which could be referenced by various other pages.
So I have tried writing EVERYTHING down.
[...]These tags can be relating to work, emotions, relationships, interactions, and ways to improve any of those.
I respect the hustle, but the mental overhead for this project sounds a bit excessive. It seems unrealistic to remember and process the information as you're doing. This obsession with does certainly sound like ADHD, and I'm speaking from personal experience. I've embarked on something similar, but realized how time consuming a project like this would be. However, if this truly is important to you, don't let me stop you. My own vault of notes is very important to me as well.
I think - and please correct me if I'm wrong - that if you add items to the keyword box when creating a post/adding a link, your item shows up to mastadon users who follow that hashtag. I know that mastodon users occasionally interact with my links, and AFAIK that doesn't happen with Lemmy posts.
I appreciate the suggestion, however, I generally do as you suggested for other posts that I want to increase discoverability for. I also have issues when trying to bring in content from the rest of the fediverse into a particular magazine via tags. That said, I don't want to make this a troubleshooting thread as this isn't the intended magazine for that.
I'm a reddit refugee and as a non technical person I actually prefer kbin to reddit. It's nice and simple and I get all the content I need easily. The only thing I wish was 1 click less is viewing images/videos. At the moment I seem to have to click on a post to go to that posts page and then click on the image/video in that post to see it full size. I wish I could just go through my feed expanding and dismissing images and videos with 1 click without having to load a separate page. Kbin is awesome though and definitely my home for the foreseeable :)
The only thing I wish was 1 click less is viewing images/videos.
When you want to check out an image/video post, there's a little icon to the left of the comments underneath the title of the post. You can click on that to view the image/video without needing to open the thread. :)
I've found it a little tricky to find an instance that has a dedicated, transparent instance owner who doesn't disappear while making sure the instance doesn't throw 500 errors when you view certain pages. I started on Fedia which had tons of 500 errors when I tried to view my own profile or subscriptions, which seems to have gotten better, but still has intermittent issues.
Then I came to kbin.cafe, but it seems like the instance owner went poof, and I get 500 errors if I try to change my profile picture. I think most of this is because the software is still relatively early in development.
Otherwise it does feel as if Kbin is handling every other facet well, it's just early on and buggy and hard for instance owners to keep up.
Among all Fediverse softwares, Kbin is the one I like the most - from the clean interface to the local community, which I really like - just the right balance between serious topics and memes, and decent comment quality.
Even if I'm most active on some federated communities, I don't plan to switch anytime soon.
The only headscratcher that - more than "not like", just puzzled me a bit - is the different naming convention (magazines, microblogs, etc.), but again it's a small thing.
I like that Kbin has microblog, tags feature. With that I can browse mastodon content easily.
Another one is filter posts by type, for example If I want only Threads (text only).
The things I doesn't like are mirror but:
no third party apps (yet?)
search function could be better (no advanced search, and different buttons for magazine/posts search)
For apps, Artemis exists, but only works on artemis.camp until the API is official, but you can grab it and check it out. Pretty sweet already.
Upvote means "I like what you said and want you to know it".
Boost means "I like what you said and want others to see it too!". Think of it like a re-tweet or whatever it's called on Mastodon (re-toot?).
ETA: I believe the dev of Artemis is also planning on open sourcing their KBIN<->lemmy translation layer once everything is confirmed to make it easier for others to add support to their apps too
Overall I like the culture that's developing on Kbin - things feels kinder and more personal here than on Reddit. The integration with Mastodon is a great feature too.
There are still some UI things that need sorting. It still irritates me how many clicks it takes to get to a simple list of my subscribed magazines, and even then that list is spread over several pages and inexplicably not alphabetical. This should be accessible in one click from the top menu (as it was on Reddit and I know it is on Lemmy).
I feel like pretty much all the ui things like that, including lack of conversation collapsing, the weird ways to get to various settings, sorting by hot being really awful, etc - are all the same as when I first started. It feels like development stopped over a month ago. I haven't seen a post or comment from Ernest in at least that long, either.
He posted on Kbinmeta yesterday. He's been busy with family matters but is still spending all his free time worrying on Kbin and working towards a full release at the end of September.
People turn it off?! Surely it is faster with acceleration rather than without?! I guess I can try, I have now disabled enhance pointer precision in windows. What I can say is, it does actually seem to go faster I expected. I then tried to get back to the checkbox to turn it back on and completely overshot the selection box and then overcorrected my overcorrection. Now I'm curious what most people use.
usually its faster with acceleration. what acceleration does is when u move your mouse quickly it will move the mouse more proportional to how far u moved it. so move your mouse 10cm in 1 second and you get across the whole screen. move it 10cm in 10 seconds and it only moves halfway (pulled the proportions out of my ass but u get the point)
Which I definitely prefer. The chatgpt thing in the OP had me thinking -I- was hallucinating. I've always felt it takes less hand movement to move across the screen with acceleration
Well ChatGPT is wrong. You’d have to look at a particular acceleration curve to determine whether it can be slower or faster. For example if the curve was x^2 (where x is the raw speed) then it would always be faster with acceleration.
Acceleration is very useful on small trackpads because you can move the mouse across the whole screen with one swipe but still position it accurately if you move your finger slowly.
I know that ChatGPT is sometimes wrong, but it gave me a source that seemed legit.
A study by Dr. Levi Harrison, a hand surgeon who specializes in RSI, found that gamers who used high mouse sensitivity and mouse acceleration were more likely to develop RSI. He also found that gamers who used lower mouse sensitivity and no mouse acceleration were less likely to develop
So at the very least is a real person and appears accurate to his claims
In observing high sensitivity play, it is clear that there is more of an isolation of the hand and wrist in regards to movement. These players will flick their wrists aggressively, hence engaging the anatomical structures that are at risk for developing RSI including the carpal tunnel, the wrist, joints, tendons, etc.
Reads as though the shorter, violent action of wrist flicking is claimed to be more damaging than constant, slower movement.
Because I like to be able to span my three monitors and also be able to click buttons. It hasn’t affected video games since most use raw input or have an option to
