I agree with this, but in open source there’s an extra layer of complexity: the “I don’t care about market share” dev attitude that’s sometimes admirable and sometimes frustrating.
Agreed, it’s such a poor summary of the article that I can’t tell if it’s an intentional strawman argument.
Be so bold.

Creative use of search engines and possible lyrics have helped chip away at most of my list over the years. But two tough ones have been bouncing around my head since the early 90s.
One was a rap song I remembered from the radio with a really catchy hook. Then a few years ago during a birthday party the hook was suddenly just there blaring from the speakers, so I grabbed for my phone to search the audio. People yelled at me to put it away and keep dancing, but only I knew what was at stake! The song that was playing was Wilfredo Vargas - Abusadora, although clearly that’s not even remotely rap. But knowing that title, it wasn’t long before I found the song from my memory, which had sampled it. It turns out the original song is much better.
The second one was even more elusive, but it kind of nagged at me because even as a kid I had a sense of how massively popular this Spanish-language song was, so it felt like this one should be easy to find. But just a year or two ago I heard it blaring from the speakers while walking past a restaurant! Again with the audio search, I managed to identify it as Kaoma - Lambada and, whoops, my memory was wrong and it wasn’t even Spanish! But I was right about it being massively popular — plus the song has been widely covered, remixed and sampled (and even that popular version was itself a cover). Except none of this would have helped because the part of the song I thought was catchy was clearly not the iconic hook melody that everyone knows, so humming it for people never helped anyone get close to the answer.
Blasphabulous!
A little bit of salt makes just about anything tastier.
As a longtime olive hater, this is where I ended up too.
Oh, I’m well aware. But the criticism I’m describing is that Joplin doesn’t write and read the notes as plain .md files on-disk as its storage backend. As I said, the lock-in component to the criticism is overblown (due to, yes, the ease of export), but people also tout the Obsidian approach to storage as allowing more flexibility to also access and edit your notes collection outside of the application, not to mention the flexibility to roll your own two-way syncing solution to other devices that don’t run Joplin, edit notes there and have changed synced back to notes in the application. I use and enjoy Joplin, and wish they would add something like that.
I brought this up because of what OP mentioned re: “view and modify” notes in something like jq
. I’m sure they’d want their external changes synced back to their notes.
A surprising number of people will tell you that the reason they prefer the closed-source Obsidian to Joplin is that Joplin doesn’t use Markdown files as its backend format to store its notes, but rather a database file. (They are formatted with Markdown, though.) I think the concerns they often express around lock-in are overblown, but this may mean it’s not what OP is looking for. I agree that the Joplin app is pretty nice, though more polished and featureful on desktop.
EPs are Safety, The Blue Room and Brothers and Sisters, while the B-sides come from the better-known Parachutes singles Trouble, Yellow and Shiver. Some specific track picks I’d point to are “Easy to Please,” “Bigger Stronger” and “Only Superstition.”
If you want more chill, brooding, melancholy stuff — songs that sound about right for a band that named itself “Coldplay” — there are two EPs and a handful of B-sides from before Parachutes that are relatively unknown and have the same vibe.
Absolutely. I saw it for the first time maybe a year ago and went in not knowing anything about it, not even the synopsis, and that was the perfect way to experience it. What a ride.

They said “generic images” so it sounds like it’s not photos.
This door is already open, as GPS location is easily faked. Android, for example, has an easily-accessed developer setting for manually specifying a device location.
For the most part, nothing. There are some edge cases where TVs get naggy if left offline, or do something sketchy to gain internet access, but this can pretty much be avoided by reading reviews and/or returning a misbehaving device to the retailer.
