FOSS software is developed in such a way that you can build it yourself freely (In other words, you can download the source code and compile the actual application yourself, free of charge). Obsidian doesn’t really work that way. Even if most of the code is available, the full app is only available as prepackaged binaries which might introduce god knows what (and make forking the application impossible).
For material, I try to feed the intellctual thirst.
Jesus Christ I can smell the pretetion from my toilet seat
What deeply frustrates me about it is that a lot of people who would otherwise be big advocates for FOSS software get completely turned off by creeps like this being absolutely everywhere.
That makes sense! Maybe a good way to actually communicate exactly what you mean when things are getting heated and frustrating otherwise.
I looked into constructed languages for a while, but at this point I’ve accepted that they’re just never going to happen. Language arises naturally, attempts at controlling it inevitably fail. No amount of “but that’s not what that word means, though” will change that actually, it means whatever consensus people land on at any given time.
Besides that, lojban comes across more like a linguist’s attempt at creating “lossless” written communication, whether or not anyone could actually keep it in their head. I’m not sure it was ever meant to be practical.
And guess what? It won’t break like your over-complex Arch desktop because it doesn’t need to be.
