  • I was using Joplin for a while… Self hosted their server. On two occasions it screwed up on me and wouldn’t load my folders… Luckily I had backups but it was still frustrating. I don’t recommend them purely because the notes are stored in a custom format instead of just plain text files.

    My favorite way of doing notes now is with git, currently using a free private repo on gitlab.

    Just clone the repo on whatever PC I need them and it has backups and version control.

    Then use GitJournal on my phone.

    It’s perfect for me. I love it.


  • Hey, same boat. I’ve tried FreeCAD and Ondsel (which is supposed to be a more intuitive version of FreeCAD)… But they are both so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.

    Luckily Blender works great on Linux for less functional designs.














  • Quick note… After typing this up I realized this is more a response to the OP than to you. Sorry for the rant lol.

    They knew about it and implemented it but the game blew up at launch and the stupid PSN requirement caused tons of server issues. So to allow people to play they temporarily disabled it. Now, after all this, the CEO was incredibly transparent about the whole situation and was working to get it resolved with Sony.

    To me the CEO is a breath of fresh air. He cares about his product and was open about everything going on.

    Sony put themselves in this position.

    6-7 years of development and 6 months before they drop this requirement? Which does little to nothing except inconvenience your customer… Not to mention Sonys track record with data breaches… And on top of all that the launch would have been ruined due to this requirement and possibly wouldn’t have allowed the game to get as big as it is?

    Fuck that and fuck Sony.


  • Indeed an unpopular opinion but you’re missing a key point that Sony, being the publisher, decides where the game is sold. They chose to sell it in countries that cannot create PSN accounts. A huge reason this blew up is because of that fact… along with their (Sony) response to that, or at least the representatives people got responses from.

    Whether it was an accident, stupidity, malice, whatever… Doesn’t matter, Sony screwed that up.

    Edit: On top of all that the PSN requirement was crippling the release of the game. If the CEO hadn’t disabled the requirement to link to PSN the game may not be as successful as it is now.

    Honestly the CEO probably saved the game and increased sales, which helps Sony…

    Give me a break. Greed did this. Sony’s greed. Nothing else.
