Should've called it the 4th law of robotics.
"A robot is not allowed to use the em dash — ever."

I just started using Obsidian. What is the best way to use Obsidian both on your phone as well as your PC/laptop? I use it within git and google drive. How can I sync it most easily to my phone as well?
I use the Android app DriveSync for syncing files from GDrive. Here's a nice guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/1ktk29p/use_dri...
By the way, you can also collab on a vault/folder over GDrive. DriveSync will be able to choose a "Shared with me" folder directly, but on Windows, first go to the web version (drive.google.com) and make a link to the shared folder in your "My Drive". Back in Windows, the link will be in your G:\My Drive folder. You can then mark that folder/link as "available offline" for the best experience. If you open the link in Windows, you'll get the full path to the folder and can then open it as a vault in Obsidian. You should end up with something like G:\.shortcut-targets-by-id\1-BkkGbtKp2342jSMgR7_HdfshNOAG3mg\OurCoolVault
Slightly old news, but I thought this was one of the more interesting posts this year; a reminder they're still kicking, and there have been some more recent posts too.
May someone please say how this compares to Claude's project view?

It's quite sad that application interoperability requires parsing bitmaps instead of exchanging structured information. Feels like a devastating failure in how we do computing.
The people have chosen apps over protocols.

Regarding the delete feature, can one not just raise in C++ for a deprecated/deleted function?
Why FreeBSD ?
- Well manicured OS, excellent docs. More performant than OpenBSD in every way and approaches Linux performance in some areas (e.g. Networking)
- FreeBSD tends to have fewer features in almost all areas compared to Linux which makes it more approachable and more difficult to mess up.
- Though it has fewer features, it still has a lot of features -- many big companies (Netflix most famously) still use it today for critical functions.
- FreeBSD Kernel and Userland developed together -- it has got that undefined "cohesive" feel
- Has less layers of abstraction than Linux, gets the job done. Because there are fewer layers it's easier to understand what is going on and potentially easier to fix.
- FreeBSD is great if you want to learn pf, zfs, ...
- Worth your while if you are bored of the Linux monoculture and just want to try something a bit different (but not tooo different)
- Changes slowly, so good for setting up on a server that you want to just leave running without too much maintenance
- Will increase your Linux skills because diversity always helps the human brain
- Very simple daemon configuration via /etc/rc.conf
- FreeBSD `bectl` controlled zfs boot environments are just so life changing and amazing. (this is possible via snapper on Linux + btrfs but needs complex installation and is not so integrated).
- FreeBSD will accept (smallish) PRs via GitHub if you find a minor bug. Otherwise it uses the decent Phabricator interface at https://reviews.freebsd.org . This is much better IMHO than the mailing list workflow of Linux. The barriers to contribution are lesser than Linux !!
- FreeBSD still has that warm fuzzy small "community" feel which I like
How does Linux have a monoculture? You'd think it is anything but "mono" with all the distros.
