@ramob It's a typesetting markup language and the software to parse it. It's more designed for producing papers than taking notes, but I think it'd meet your needs given the other software you've used for the purpose.
I switched from Texstudio to Latexila a few years ago. The canonical recommendation for people who like WYSIWYG entry is Lyx.
@ramob what are your thoughts on LaTeX? It's strongly hierarchical and has linking through the hyperref package. The downside is that it's kind of verbose, which might be a disadvantage in real-time notes, but most decent IDEs for the language (e.g. latexila) should help mitigate this.
I think the video is playing in reverse.
Kontrust - Sock 'n' Doll could hijack the "tell me why, tell me why" hook. Mentally switch over when you reach that line, and now you have yodel-metal stuck it your head instead :þ
Some thoughts:
1. It ignores a big regional actor - one that borders both Armenia and Azerbaijan, and has taken an active interest in trying to resolve the NK conflict. For all the attention devoted to Turkey's influence, Iran should see more consideration than it's given.
2. The Caucasus is unusual because, despite the religious differences among the various countries, religion isn't predictive of which camp a particular country falls in. Armenia is aligned with both Christian Russia and Muslim Iran, while Azerbaijan counts Christian Georgia, Muslim Turkey, and Jewish Israel as supporters. This isn't really acknowledged, and selectively calling out Russia, Turkey, and Israel gives the false impression this is primarily a religious conflict.
3. Particularly once you consider those lists of allies, it's no wonder the West isn't hugely supportive of Armenia's claim to NK. The United States is on much better terms with Azerbaijan's supporters than with Armenia's, and the issue isn't important enough to the Americans to annoy their allies by favouring Armenia.
I'm not a lawyer, much less your lawyer, and this is not legal advice. Nonetheless, this sounds like a bad idea.
I think from the law's perspective, it would be in the public domain, but there could be a contract breach with the university if, by submitting, you represent that you hold an exclusive copyright interest in the work. Obviously you can't transfer rights you don't already own.
From an academic perspective, it's self-plagiarism, a form of academic misconduct. Submitting work that you've already published is disallowed, although this is more frequently applied to students trying to submit the same paper from a previous class or something they published in a journal.
This week I discovered the ηMatrix browser add-on. It presents a nifty user interface which gives you fine-grained control over what each website is allowed to transclude from other sources. You whitelist the elements that are necessary for the website to function, and leave the rest blocked. In particular, this makes it really easy to block things like those annoying modal dialogues that adblockers don't cover - but it can function as an adblocker or noscript in its own right.
@dragfyre I don't see UBI displacing the marketing payments. Businesses are still going to compete for their customers' dollars, whether they earn those dollars as wages/salary or are allocated them as UBI, so the demand for influence-marketers will remain.
Influence-marketing is such a low-effort way to supplement income that UBI doesn't seem likely to discourage supply either. By the time you've put any sort of a dent in it, lots of other, higher-effort cottage industries will be in much worse shape.
Well I don't think anyone will pay you to promote their brand on the Fediverse. But I know people who have been offered money to post things the company wants, contingent on maintaining at least six hundred followers, on a commercial site.
There's another flavour too. I don't know that this is common in the Fediverse, but followbots exist on more mainstream social media sites, and customers will pay to have a certain number follow them for a certain duration. This inflates the customer's follow count, which makes it easier to score "influencer" deals.

@realcaseyrollins Why specifically sales tax? As opposed to a property or income tax, or import/export tariffs.

This seems incorrect - by way of counterexample, the Four Freedoms are of American origin, and the Norman Rockwell paintings depicting them are among the foremost in America's artistic history.
Well, it's the top news story on CBC right now, going by their little widget that shows the five most popular. Per the article, the warehouses were used to store explosives, so it might be unintentional and not a bombing at all; on the other hand, the article notes that Israel and Hezbollah skirmished last week, so I guess it could be a reprisal.
This post (as with all from this author) doesn't appear on QOTO's local timeline when I'm logged in. Nor do I see it when using the "See what's happening" feature while browsing the web interface and logged out. It looks like it's set to public, so I'm surprised it's not appearing. Any thoughts? This seems similar to the behaviour with the bots from last week - but now it's affecting local accounts.

Actually that brings up an interesting point. If two regimes each set out to "kill all the X they can find" for their respective values of X, is one regime less morally culpable because their were fewer of its X to be found, so it killed fewer?
@realcaseyrollins right. Once you've built the group infrastructure, creating UI candy to make certain use cases (e.g. DM, followers-only) more accessible would be straightforward. But having already implemented the special cases independently, retrofitting groups into the standard, in a way that's compatible with existing servers and clients, seems to be quite a pain.
@realcaseyrollins I think this is backwards actually. Groups should've been the underlying addressing mechanism, with DM conversations (a group of two people) and follower-only posts (a group where only the admin has send privileges) as special cases.
@admin that's slow, runs in O(N). You can do it in O(log N).
1. Start with all plugins as candidates.
2. Enable half of all candidates, and disable the rest.
3. If the problem does reappear, remove all plugins you did not enable from the list of candidates. Conversely, if the problem does not appear, remove all those you did enable. With the remaining candidates, return to step 2.
Repeat until your list of candidates contains only the offending plugin.
@realcaseyrollins I have the JVC (I think) branded equivalent but it might be the same thing under a whitelabel arrangement. My hearing isn't great, but I find them excellent for listening to music & they have remarkably good battery life. The microphone or the upstream-directed connection is really bad, though - I can't use them on a phone call because the other party finds my voice unintelligible through the static.
