There are a lot of knee jerk reactions in the comments. I hope few of those commenters have read the article or, at the least, your comment.

Ah! That really does make things easy for migrating emails. Unfortunately I don’t have my own domain yet.
How are you approaching de-googling? I am unable to think of a graceful solution to migrate my emails and photos while preserving their metadata.
Seems like Apple’s convoluted guidelines around external payment systems is working out for them.
E: added link to said guidelines.
True. Hopefully, the community helps maintain/extend the longevity of the phone.
Thanks for the list. While there are some that I read about previously, a few of the other patterns are something that I only experienced.
It is nice to know that these have been identified and labelled by others in the industry. :D
Adobe … spam … Windows
That sounds about right.
… without customers realising their watches offers nothing more than the competition, and the primary reason their watches were successful was the lack of such competition within their walled garden.
Good bot.
Interesting. May I know where you are viewing this post?
This is how it looks like on Voyager:

For those in the unknown, this comment is in reference to an article on The Daily WTF, which ThePrimeagen “reacted” to.
As I have frequently found myself not knowing a quip/quote/reference from popular (or worse, obscure) media, I am doing my bit to add context to this rather plain comment disguised as an in-joke.
For people who derive pleasure from posting such references, please annotate your reference with some context for others to take part in/appreciate the media you liked enough to remember and make a reference of.
Unless I misunderstood “cloud service functionality”, an Obsidian vault can be placed almost anywhere on the file system. For instance, a remote/WebDAV drive or even the Dropbox/iCloud Drive/Google Drive directory.
Migrating is as easy as moving the vault directory from one location to another, and pointing Obsidian to it.
As always, on iOS, there are some caveats as it lacks a traditional file system. So, the Obsidian app cannot access the vault directory on, say your Dropbox. But there are workarounds for it, like hosting the vault on a remote Git repository - which is what I ended up doing. Of course, this is a non-issue on Android.
Obsidian has a help page that goes in detail about what I just said.
As for the Git repository workaround, I referred to this article to arrive at my current workflow.
As an aside, I would like to touch upon my experience with using the inbuilt sync on apps like Agenda and Joplin - both offering syncing using iCloud and Dropbox while the latter offering a whole lot more. It is a flaky experience at best, wherein a significant number of notes never really sync between the devices. This forces me to use my phone to view a particular note while my computer for another. This is where the plain text file foundation for apps like Obsidian and Logseq wins me over.
I too was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon the app a few years back. The licence model was a major factor in choosing the app over the rest.
Indeed, it is very reasonable.
It strikes a balance between subscriptions and perpetual licences.
Beside mentions of Jetbrains license model, I would like to mention the license model of a note taking app called Agenda[1].
It has a subscription wherein the customer retains the software and all of its functionality even after the subscription expires. One may resume the subscription down the line if they see a new feature worth having.
The creators of the app liken it to a magazine subscription wherein the customer retains the magazines even after the subscription lapses.
From my own experience of using it, I purchased the license for a year back in 2021 and let it lapse as I did not find the any of the new features to be worthwhile. I still keep an eye on their updates as it is my daily driver.
I’m already about to ditch Voyager for putting emoji’s on my app interface.
Is this about the new account highlightenator thingy that shows a 👶 next to new accounts?
If so, it is actually a good QoL feature, and it can be disabled under Settings -> General.
Yes. The !bangs in DDG are for convenience and not for privacy. The convenience of not opening the intended website, and typing/pasting the query to perform the search.
This is incorrect.
DDG just just performs a simple redirect to Google with the query, where the latter has access to cookies, past usage (especially if one is logged in to Google), etc.
Thanks for the pointer. It looks like the community is not active. I too plan to install it in the spirit of experimentation and not daily drive it.
E: Voyager is bugging out and showing just one post In that community.
I do not agree with @FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today’s take. LLMs as these are used today, at the very least, reduces the number of steps required to consume any previously documented information. So these are solving at least one problem, especially with today’s Internet where one has to navigate a cruft of irrelevant paragraphs and annoying pop ups to reach the actual nugget of information.
Having said that, since you have shared an anecdote, I would like to share a counter(?) anecdote.
Ever since our workplace allowed the use of LLM-based chatbots, I have never seen those actually help debug any undocumented error or non-traditional environments/configurations. It has always hallucinated incorrectly while I used it to debug such errors.
In fact, I am now so sceptical about the responses, that I just avoid these chatbots entirely, and debug errors using the “old school” way involving traditional search engines.
Similarly, while using it to learn new programming languages or technologies, I always got incorrect responses to indirect questions. I learn that it has incorrectly hallucinated only after verifying the response through implementation. This makes the entire purpose futile.
I do try out the latest launches and improvements as I know the responses will eventually become better. Most recently, I tried out GPT-4o when it got announced. But I still don’t find them useful for the mentioned purposes.
