Logseq isn't abandonware - they're in the process of rebuilding the app from the ground up to be database-driven, rather than house-brand Markdown as the source of truth and a database constructed from the files afterwards.

I'm not saying it's the most likely project to survive, but they've been working in quiet mode for a good while now.


Search for:

from:EFF "twitter files" on X. Zip, zilch, nada. Nothing about a large government censorship campaign that especially targeted conservatives.


Well if you look at board you see that more than one member served in the Obama admin or directly worked for it at some point.

Antiracists are as against racism as North Korea is democratic, and the people's, and as much as the Berlin Wall was an anti-fascist protection rampart and totally not a way to stop people from defecting en masse.

Ostensible names are just that, ostensible. They do not always describe reality and are often chosen to mislead. With woke antiracists, that is exactly the case.

I've seen "antiracist" lecturers say kindly silly little things like "white people are born to not being human", an "antiracist" teacher saying white people are born human, but invariably abused by their parents "into whiteness". The torrent of absolutely blatant anti-white racism from these sorts of people is comical in its proportion, and neverending. Their every campaign is "we'll include sparkles everyone sparkles (NOT YOU), so join us at..."

Somehow, it's hard to take the epithet seriously. I wonder why.


That's the thing: They choose leftist allegiances over their ostensible job. For example, search for "twitter files" on the EFF's Twitter account. Nothing. Blatant government effort to censor people. Zip, zilch, nada.

Now they abandon X that's become more free, and head for Bluesky and Mastodon, which are basically recreations of the stifling atmosphere of pre-Musk Twitter.

Freedom for their favoured people to do what they like, perhaps. But for me and others? Nah, not on the program.


How so? Cat are open borders people, no?


No sense in not trying out Affinity, I think.


Canva's operated on a freemium model for years with their own main product, and they have a lot of stuff on the Canva side they can implement into Affinity as a value add. Very little reason to expect that they'd renege on their commitments. The only real risk for that is the upcoming IPO and becoming publicly traded, IMO. The current ownership seems committed enough.


Sure, but the brits have voted for less immigration please for 30 years straight and only ever gotten more of it.

The SAVE Act the orange dude's admin is trying to pass? Requiring ID to vote is popular among every race (eg. over 70% of blacks are in favour), among both Democrat and Republican voters. Its overall support among people is undeniable, and the ID demand itself commonsense. Somehow Congress can't pass a piece of common sense that's wildly popular among both parties' voters.

Sure, democracy can and does give the ordinary man more influence than in many places, but some things will still simply just happen and people's opinions will have very little sway.


What'd be the effect of Swift be on the possibility of a Windows port? I know anything end user friendly is ages away, but I don't live in Apple land, and neither does most of the world. Apple has a monopoly on iOS and huge market share on Mac, and is still at 20% or something.

The core Swift Lang has is being made more independent of Apple, and can be compiled for an increasing number of platforms thanks to the LLVM-based compiler


You can even build swiftUI apps without opening Xcode at all nowadays (albeit no code signing)

which is great.

I never learned swift but I can add features easily now or create 1-day projects using swiftUI that makes great macOS native UI's.


Easy, Harvard is essentially a training center for their ideological enemies on top of providing an actual education. They're just putting the boot down and saying stick to teaching instead of implementing and advancing a specific ideology. If taxes are the tools, so be it.


Harvard is a private instutution. If they want to teach underwater basket weaving, there's not much you can do to stop that. Anymore than Trump can raid apple and tell them to start making Androids. I thought a billionaire businessman would understand that much; imagine if Clinton back in the day tried to seize Trump Towers.

And while we long forgotten: don't forget that all of this is illegal. to retract congressionally appropriated funds that were already budgeted. The time to yoink this stuff legally was a month ago.
