- If a Linktr.ee fell in a forest in India and nobody knew why, would it make a sound? (Tech Crunch)||
Because it did.
- England has declared war on 4Chan. (Think Broadband)
This seems unwise. 4Chan is a US company so England has less than no authority here.

- Japanese investment company Softbank has invested $2 billion in Intel - about 2% of the company. (WCCFTech)
Chicken feed as such things go but I wouldn't say no.
- How the new CEO of Obsidian went from superfan to, uh, CEO. (The Verge)
What? Oh, different Obsidian. Don't care, didn't ask.

I am a recent convert to that specific Obsidian.
My previous round of experimenting with personal wikis, I excluded it from my list because of some of the software design choices.
I recently realized that I do in fact need dark mode, if I am going to be spending the time I do reading and writing on a computer, because I was starting to notice that I had eyestrain limits. Obsidian has a dark mode.
It also has some slight ease of use thingies compared to Zim. Probably other advantages I do not realize yet, it is very likely that I am limited in my usage due to reasons of personality and organization.
A personal wiki was a potential improvement for me, because my status quo was an unstructured mess of text files saved willy nilly all over the place.

It would be hilarious if the British Isles wind up protected from facist tyrannical rule and from hostile alien invasion by Chan Home and Chan Home Low.

It's not England, or the British Isles (the Republic of Ireland could not be reach foe comment.) It's a Quasi-Non-Governmental Agency of the United Kingdom Government. I no, I don't understand that either. But I bet there's a Scottish puritan behind it somewhere.

Well, besides the few of us who've read Tacitus, who really grasps the subtle differences cleaving England, Britain, the Uk of En Gland Scootland Whales and Nothing Ireland, and whatever else . . . Barmey? Fucking Wales? Watling Way? Offa's Ditch?
