A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

“I’m a massive idiot” is a defence strategy one could deploy (and one I’m keeping in my back pocket just in case) but it may not be a good one.
Now that’s scary.
I’ve been using Quillpad as a Google Keep replacement as it does things like checklists better.
Indeed. Lemmy/Mastodon integration isn’t the best, so we’ll see if it punches through.
I read the link, I still don’t see the relevance to a post about a Japanese woman arrested for driving a suitcase. It’s not the kind of topic to attract trolls. We sometimes get some Hexbear shenanigans in political posts but you can’t bang that in every thread unless you are going to claim this is Magic Elephant Dust.
We’re yet to see if it’s a good one.
Seems like Obsidian could easily address this need [on Android] by adding a widget feature. Allow the user to pin a note to the home screen like Google Keep, or tap the widget to open a lightweight markdown editor which saves to a new file in the vault.
From the linked article it does sound like they are aware of the issue and will come up with a fix. For now, I’m happy with ZN but we’ll see.
The article does suggest iOS options for Mobile Quick Capture - Drafts and Shortcuts. Might be worth a try.
No problem, I’ve only been using it a month or so, and haven’t really dug into all features yet but there’s a lot to like - the markdown editing is very smooth (with lists, including check boxes, automatically generating on a new line) and I’ve started drafting longer Lemmy posts in it too.
I have some niggles, like the YAML “note_type: task” producing a much nicer check box list but it seems to stop line wrapping. I’d also like checked items moved down the list. However, the developer is, apparently, approachable so I may drop them a line or note.
What’s the relevance?
A nonce is a sex offender. As in: "we had to put him on the prison’s nonce wing as the other prisoners would try and kill him.’
This isn’t exactly a great defence:
“He wanted to create opportunities for him to talk to these ladies.”
Except he wasn’t:
Instead of stopping to talk to the woman after that, he walked past her.
It sounds more like he was getting off on it for some messed up reason
Now that famous saying makes sense: the luck of the Japanese.
Now that would be a plot twist - the world’s leafiest is actually the world’s tiniest lettuce.
I saw a documentary about people in this area of the sex trade and there was a woman doing a brisk trade in used undercrackers - she bought multi-packs from M&S, cracked open a tin of tuna and was rubbing tuna water into the gusset. It really helped boost her productivity. That’s the kind of outside-the-box kind of thinking this country needs to get off it’s knees.
The shop reportedly only has male buyers at the moment.
Weird that.
Now that’s taking the piss!
Now there’s a blast from the past - I remember this doing the rounds back in the day when you had to figure out the right codecs to watch something.
An earlier article about the company said $180,000/year! I’d call iy bullshit but that’s not what they’re after.
Perhaps Boxey the Chosen One fighting robots was going to be a future storyline, pre-empting the Prequel Trilogy.
