I hate soyjak memes but if you use Obsidian please stop using proprietary software and install GNU Emacs (for org-mode).

@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest You clearly don't understand the editor wars. Do you think this about being sensible? Wrong, it's about dogmatic my program > your program in every way.

If I'm wrong, please explain how.
Telling people "Don't use X, use Y instead" when Y is not a valid replacement just drives people further away from free software, I believe it's very important to say why one shouldn't use X, than Y can get close but not quite there but respects users.snacks repeated this. -

@mischievoustomato @SuperDicq literally .md files, with some extra syntax like [[Another document]] for an internal link. some people install a lot of fancy addons and make some unholy contraptions on top of that but it's pretty much just markdown with links snacks and Johnny Peligro like this. -

@SuperDicq org mode is a configuration nightmare and nobody can seem to wrap their head around the fact that if I have to write fucking custom elisp to accomplish what I want to do (which is very basic btw) its not fucking worth your time and that the PROPRIETARY alternative is BETTER outright -

@SuperDicq @a1ba then you need 40 lines of config because nothing actually works. examples include using clipboard (1 line in vimscript, a package import in emacs), p then does what P does with clipboard contents not from emacs, scrolling is not smooth, and even in doom emacs which solved most problems folds behave really weirdly In conversation permalink Johnny Peligro likes this. -

@phnt@fluffytail.org @grips@cawfee.club @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love Yes, that's true. Maybe if I had learned Emacs initially and didn't have decades of vim muscle memory then maybe I wouldn't need evil-mode.
