How many files do you have? At what scale did you see this being a problem?

I'm a fan of Obsidian, not affiliated with them, but my experience with basic file syncing like syncthing or git is that you should be able to easily get up into the ten's of thousands of files without an issue.

I don't want to manage that many files. I'll fully admit that I'll hit my limits before the computer cares.

Is there a way in Obsidian to have a virtual file separator like `---` in yaml documents?

For bases to work I need to split my stuff up into tiny documents but I'd prefer to have one big document with separate sections. For example I keep one document `book-recommendations.md` with many small sections for books I'd like to read. I can't search through that with bases unless I split those out into many small files in with one recommendation each.

This is my main complaint for Bases. It forces you to split your data into many many small files.

I don't need entire files for each individual book/movie/task I want to manage.

They'll have maybe 4-5 properties at most with not much content in them.

File system, and syncing operations will take a massive hit if I have to manage that many files.

Google is the closest with Android. They were even able to get Adobe to port photoshop which other Linux operating systems have failed to have happen.

Despite Android's success the rest of the consumer Linux distributions chose to ignore it and continue on with what they were already doing. Trying to have them coordinate around what is succeeding is seemingly impossible.

Android is the most Pervasive yes, but I would consider it too focused on a specific type of platform, and one that is becoming more and more closed off. ChromeOS might be a better example, but much like android, it is also very closed off from the rest of the ecosystem.

This feels very right. The problem is there are few entities invested enough in Linux as a consumer platform, that have the motivation to push things forward. To make the decisions on what their "Reference" system is.

Valve is maybe the closest?

If anyone is interested in a privacy focused tracking app that stores all your data locally, I make an app called Reflect [0] whose sole purpose is this, plus on-device analysis.

We’re working on a menstrual tracking feature right now and it’s pretty far along. We’ve just released an anomaly detection feature as well.

The Path will reveal itself to you as you play. There is usually only one and it is correct.

Memorizing levels in Beatsaber isn't required to do VERY well. I very rarely ever play a level more than once in a session. And actually tend to struggle with highly repetitive "memory intense" sections of songs where it DOES become a rhythm game.

But if you follow the blocks they will lead you to where the next block will be.

Ooof, no hardware schematics? Also missing datasheets? This projects seems like a very tall task to me without these fundamental missing pieces. Will Google release them soon or am I looking the the wrong place?

If I remember correctly (and I could be wrong) Fitbit only ever bought the software side of Pebble (and the developers effectively), gutting the company and leaving Eric with the Hardware side of things...

Yeas! I moved over to the Garmin 265 since it felt like the most pebble-like watch. But the controls aren't nearly as immediately intuitive. Pebble nailed the OS and nothing has ever matched it.

Grew in San Antonio as well and one of the best parts about the Riverwalk is that it offers a fantastic pedestrian corridor across almost the entirety of downtown San Antonio and connects a lot of really interesting places, The missions down south, Pearl Brewery and it's shopping district, downtown mall and Convention center as well as La Villita and The Art Museum.

Sure you can walk the streets but getting around via the Riverwalk is actually extremely pleasant. I really love how convinient of a convention city San Antonio is.
