Who are the people most successful in persuading writers to ditch substack? What would make them pitch Pagecord as an alternative?

Yeah, the ownership is important. Just find I’m constantly tinkering, and even with obsidian sync I still find things like shortcuts often fail when I trigger them as the sync will happen during or after the shortcut. I’ve lost data that way, which doesn’t inspire confidence.

I remember getting the white and silver iPhone X when it came out and it was just so pretty. I may still have it kicking around somewhere. The Air has similar vibes: looks like the future.

Really have no need to upgrade though!

As someone who has deliberately disengaged with as much of that side of social media as possible, I knew something was up but had no emotional strength to go digging to find out precisely what.

Todo lists have always been my gripe on Linux too. There’s just such a huge gap. It bugged me when I was deep in OmniFocus, and it bugs me now I’m deep in Things.

And even if you’re using org-mode, at that point you’ve stopped using Linux anyway as emacs is a different operating system 🤣

Must admit I’m loving how distressingly straightforward it is to slap an audio player on a web page these days!
