  • I really like the creator but with this video I’m left dissatisfied because trying to be reasonable and easy going, he actually didn’t dispel the false argument.

    Yes, he clarified that many things in the false argument are messier than they claim to be but from the stand point of false argument believer it looks like mocking and pedantry.

    For unswayed public in either direction (who never heard of this topic before), it looks like Ben just hates some niche group without giving them fair shot. Not a good look dare I say

    So by extend unswayed public might become more interested in the false argument - not less.

    Cherry on top, Ben says to check out some other video but the link (or even a name) is nowhere to be found either in the pinned comment or description. Meanwhile false argument narrative is deliberately made very easy to spiral into.

    Overall, the video might bring more harm then good by platforming the false argument and doing not sufficient job dispelling it

    If I agree with you, it’s harassment. If I disagree with you, you’d block me. So, I’ll just say imo you’re one beautiful *slur* and I’m glad you’re so humble to acknowledge&embrace your own limitations 🤍










  • obsidian’s format is well documented and well understood. There are dozens of FOSS plugins and tools for converting or directly importing obsidian data to nearly every other solution. Due to obsidian’s popularity, it’s interoperability this way is often far superior to FOSS solutions’.

    To reiterate this claim: just because Erica gave Shida enough time to document his work in the open, she is entitled to exploit foss contributors for profit. Is that your point here?

    Also not only she can exploit foss contributors when it suits her, she also can remove their work from the ecosystem whenever momentum for acquisition is ripe. Do you think it’s false?

    If Erica doesn’t pay you to write these comments, does it feel morally right to you defending these capitalist practices?


  • So to reiterate, you’ve just stated that all the following[^1] doesn’t need to be exported

    • links to attachments,
    • modification dates,
    • internal links to your other notes (Obsidian doesn’t even follow markdown standard here, so just say goodbye to it)
    • titles,
    • tags,
    • folder structure

    How about you just delete this metadata then? if in case of outage/transition to other notetaker it’s going to be lost anyway, why you even need it, right?

    c’mon, mate. I can feel you’re smarter than this

    [^1] This is called “front matter” format btw and all responsible usercentric notetakers offer an export of your metadata to it. But Obsidian is not one of them
