Fuck 'em. This far into Meta’s descent into a capitalist surveillance platform, they should know what kind of company they work for. They only find it to be a problem if they aren’t “finding meaning” in the “interesting technical challenges” of turning people into data points.

Or Mina the Hollower…

I use both for different use cases, so I’ve never used the same directory for an Obsidian vault and Logseq graph. Pretty sure they would both be able to read and write the markdown files, but would features like Logseq block references and queries work in Obsidian? How would Logseq treat Obsidian bases?

The use cases are different for me, personally. There are some minor (on the surface), but major (depending on how you use the software) differences between them out of the box:

• Logseq is focused on daily journal pages and pages with lots of linkages, the idea being it keeps you on focused on tasks without feeling like you are spending too much time tinkering, organizing, or like you have to build out a perfect system right away. I like it for work because it lets me work “in my notes” rather than needing to work “on my notes” if that makes sense. I’m aware of similar Obsidian setups, but having it work out of the box in Logseq means many of the other design choices in the program are made with this workflow in mind.
• Every note is structured as a tree with hierarchical items (blocks) nested within one another. This means every block has a reference, so it’s easy to create and maintain links to different pages. Obsidian does support block references out of the box, but you have to insert them for every line you want to reference because it isn’t set up to enforce a tree structure by default.
• Tags and note links are interchangeable. I would actually say this is the main point against vanilla Logseq compared to Obsidian. There are plugins you can use to give tags different behavior to links though.
• The community seems smaller and there aren’t as many plugins. Many plugins don’t seem to be well supported or maintained, but they are usually pretty focused on solving one particular problem.

I use Logseq for work where being able to reference blocks is more useful (especially for task management), and Obsidian for personal projects where I feel a more free form PKM with customization options is nicer.

Please please please, fuck off Randy.

After not ever having set up a gaming focused distro, I gotta say, I was shocked at how seamless CachyOS makes it. Outside of creating the install media, installing CachyOS and getting everything set up to game takes like 10 minutes.

I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys point and click adventure games. The time mechanic can seem a bit constraining at first, but unless you’re clicking on everything or exhausting every conversation topic, I think you’d be able to figure out like 80% of the mysteries just by pulling at relevant threads. The only advice I’d offer is to remember how to get to all of the journals and notes you collect because the game doesn’t have a traditional inventory system, and there were a couple of times I forgot about information I’d previously collected that’s needed to solve some puzzles because it’s a little buried. It does a great job of establishing the atmosphere, and if you’re in the mood for a creepy mystery, this is an all-timer.

Silksong, but I put that on hold as I think I hit my skill ceiling in Act 3.

In the meantime, I’m playing The Seance at Blake Manor which has been really fun and is perfect for the Deck.
