It sounds like you could use any markdown app that supports tags or links. You can search for file by tag or create index notes that you link other notes to, letting you view all of them from the backlinks pane.

A lot of Obsidian users do not use folders for organization at all, both of the methods above are common. You could also look at Logseq which has similar features.

Apologies if I’m misunderstanding your requirements, lmk if I did.

I think it comes from the fact that a lot of communities and projects use Discord basically like they would with IRC, with voice chats often not even existing in some servers. I have to assume the people who recommend Matrix are only ever in that kind of server.

I’m in 2 or 3 servers with different friend groups and of course each one is full of friends of friends of friends. Even the smallest is over 30 people, but I only regularly join VC with 3-4. If I had to call all of them to be in a voice call I would literally never do it.

Same goes for chats, in Matrix the closest things to channels and servers is rooms and spaces. The difference is that you don’t join a space, you just view rooms in the space and join them. Most of my servers have a ton of different channels for different things, I want to be able to see what happens in all of them without having to join each one, announcing to them that I’ve joined.

I like Matrix for FOSS project discussions, but I don’t think it’ll ever be the right pick for just hanging out with friends.

This is just a link to the branding repo. There isnt much to maintain in there.

Drop-in voice channels are a requirement for a discord alternative, Matrix does not have them. AFAIK you still need to call an entire channel to start a voice chat.

Ngl I did not think about that at all. There are loads of sites with social in the name, like the flagship mastodon instance.

It seems kinda silly to stop using social as in the name for social websites because of them.

Yeah, there isnt even a merge request upstream yet and it seems like no tests have been added, which I’m sure will be required before merge.

They did release a binary of their fork, and you can always build it yourself as well.

This sub has been full of shitty clickbait headlines from this site.

Yeah, I wasn’t trying to say SQLite is universally better. I shouldn’t have said best option, I really meant best default. I don’t think the majority of users are running a central db, most will just spin-up docker compose files for each service and end up with multiple SQL versions running.

I’ve had a lot of problems in the past from software crashes that left sqlite files in a corrupt state

I have had this issue, but it was always easily recoverable. I haven’t had the same issues with backups, although a lot of the software I use that’s running SQLite has a builtin backup feature, then I just backup that directory to a cloud service.

Besides that SQLite really doesn’t play nice with NFS, which is the basis for quite a few cloud storage providers. Also a good point, I just don’t think the majority of users are using NFS for their DBs.

When an app is using an ORM already, I think they might as well make sure it supports both SQLite and a hosted DB like Postgres

GNOME has plenty of features that are off by default and still exist. The merge request also mentions that redhat would 100% recieve complaints from paying customers if it was removed. Theyre very clearly aware that people still want this feature. You’re just assuming the worst.

They explicitly mention the plan to add a toggle in gnome settings in the merge request.

Idk how you could look at GNOME and say its trying to act more like Windows. They have their own particular idea of what a desktop should be, and that might not include middle mouse pasting. Defaults shouldnt stay the default just because they’ve always been. Devs should be able to have discussions about changing things without people accusing them of trying to destroy Linux.

Edit: I also want to point out that a huge number of Linux users dont even know this is a feature (some of which you can see in this thread). This change will add an entry in the settings for it, which very well might lead to MORE people using it. I think disabled is the correct default for something as potentially dangerous as dumping your most recently highlighted text.

This article is dogshit. Its clearly written to make it sound like theyre completely getting rid of it to get people pissed off at GNOME and Mozilla. The GNOME merge request has “by default” in the title, so its pretty damn obvious they’re not getting rid of it completely.

They are making it an option

Making a feature optional is not taking it away

SQLite doesnt require you to have any service running, the DB is just stored in a file which the program accesses through an SQLite library. I think its the best option for selfhosted software, as its very lightweight and more than performant enough for 99% of these use cases.

Do you know if it will work with SQLite? I’d like to try it but I hate spinning up more postgres instances

It can, but it runs through a tool called Waydroid to run android containers on Linux, so the compatibility might not be as great as running natively

Yeah it’ll definitely still run decent stuff. From what I’ve seen it seems to be able to run a lot of the games that can run on those headsets. The tough part is that a lot of those games only have their ARM version on the Oculus store and are shipped as android software. Hopefully devs will be willing to release a Linux ARM version for the Frame.

The Steam Frame is mainly aimed at displaying games running on your PC, it’s specs won’t be as good as the Steam Deck.

Adding this doesnt mean removing sleep. Linux isnt only used for laptops and desktops.
