What does it give you that Obsidian can't?

Better chapter style organisation and easier formatting- and the style is better for life/academic planning for me whereas obsidian is more for writing/personal wiki type things for me

That seems such a minor gain to me. Are you not concerned about notion a) being online only and b) not letting you be in control of your data?

I'm a strong proponent of File over App: who knows how long Obsidian or notion will exist - at least I know I can work with my Obsidian notes as long as text editors exist

I am concerned about those things, but what I've personally realised is that it's more important to use a tool that you really enjoy using + provides the functionality you want, as opposed to a tool you hate using and doesn't resonate with you.

I hate making notes in plain text. It's too inconvenient, not to mention doesn't provide me with the functionality I want. On the other hand, I love organising things into databases i.e. Notion.

So either I don't take notes (net negative) or I take notes (net positive).

I've recently hit a very similar problem. There's various problems with the web components (like he mentions) and I wanted a better way to write plain html with components. I ended up making a tiny python build script to process fake html components into proper HTML: https://github.com/shminge/builder

I've designed it for myself, deliberately to work around the flaws with web components mentioned. It hugely speeds up my process of writing pages for my blog (after trying everything, I've ended up just writing plain html) because I can define a component that holds all the boilerplate of the page (header, css, etc) and then write my pages as `<pagelayout> <p> body content here </p> </pagelayout>` and have that be expanded into proper valid HTML

One of my favourite quotes on this topic:

> Using ChatGPT to write an essay is a bit like using a forklift to lift weights. The forklift might do a perfectly good job of moving around some heavy iron plates, but you’d be wasting your time.

The point of writing essays (or doing any other school assessment) is not the completed product, it's the work (and hopefully learning) that went into it.

You can definitely use AI responsibly, but many students will not and do not.

There's a big difference between "Here's this tool that helps you think" (ie calculator or pen) and "Here's this tool that does the thinking for you". And before you say that AI can fall under the first option, plenty of schoolchildren will take the easy way out and not use it responsibly.

If I buy a smart fridge and the company that made them suddenly decided to turn them all off, then I'd definitely like the ability to turn mine back on, yes.

And no, there's no expectation of source code. That's been covered many times.

How can we ensure that if we legislate the games industry, then we also legislate all other industries with no special carve outs? That would make me much more supportive.

So your argument is that you won't support Stop Killing Games, but you'll support Stop Killing Things In General?

That's a strange stance. Even if that was your position SKG has a good opportunity to act as a stepping stone towards something grander.

Yes that's right. My opinion is that I am against legislating anything until we legislate everything.

Put yourself in the shoes of an employee or owner of some business. Would you enjoy being forced to follow certain rules of actual consequence, while others are allowed to do whatever they want?

Games and non-games don't compete, so no problem here.

We'll do so, one at a time.

>... it's literally "I paid for something I don't like, there should be a law!"

It's much more like "I paid for something, there should be a law so no one can take what I've paid for"

Would any art gallery pay for a piece that the artist could walk in and take away whenever they wanted?

This isn't so much about art, more about what you deserve when you pay money for something. People are still free to make whatever they want.
