  • Sorry, this isn’t helpful. I migrated the hard way, hah. I just went to each page in OneNote and hit ctrl+a, copied that and pasted without formatting into TriliumNext, then fixed the formatting.

    It took some time, but was worth it to me. I figured it would be a good test to help me familiarize myself with TriliumNext a little.

    An easier path to help adoption would probably go a long way, but it also might eat up a lot of development time and routinely need work. I’m not sure how often the OneNote export formats change.

  • I’ve found that alternative reddit frontends bypass this. That and I believe changing the URL to old reddit.

    Of course, this will only work until (if?) Reddit is successful in removing old reddit and preventing third party front-end.

  • This is only tangentially related to improving your code directly as you have asked. However, in a similar vein as using source control (git), when using Python learn to manage your environments. Venv, poetry, conda/mamba, etc are tools to look into.

    I used to work with mostly scientists, and a good number of them knew some Python, but none of them knew how to properly manage their environments and it was a huge problem. They would often come to me and say “I ran this script a week ago and it worked, I tried it today without making any changes and it’s throwing this error now that I don’t understand.” Every time it was because they accidentally changed their dependencies, using their global python install. It also made it a nightmare to try to revive old code for them, since there was almost no way to know what version of various libraries were used.

  • Some of that seems unnecessary (device boot time). But it’s not all scary spooky tracking. Some permissions/information is required for certain features.

    For example, you can’t rotate your app UI if you’re not allowed to know screen orientation. Or maybe they do a low power mode if device battery is low, or a warning that the app might not function well if the OS or device is old.

    Not saying you’re wrong or that Discord is right. Just pointing out that a long list of permissions isn’t on its own a bad thing, if those permissions are required for specific features, and not just for the sake of data harvesting.
