COR BLIMEY MATE! WHAT ARE YE DOIN IN ME POCKETS?
It's unfortunate that debt forgiveness was ever conceived in the first place. It fails on so many levels, but now it even fails the people that expected to be forgiven. Even if it were possible to continue with what was pledged, it's still a half measure temporary bandaid and not a solution.
Here's some further reading for anyone interested.
Akane was concerned about everything being a dream but I think Yamada's embrace really wiped her mind of that. She was so happy that she couldn't even sleep. Super adorable 🥰
Carpenter bee visiting my Passionflower
Hi all, this little guy (or maybe big for a bee) was visiting my Passionflower today :)
RIF has a right facing split triangle / paper airplane. It looks very similar to the post comment button on Jerboa.
New Community: What's this fungus?
# Welcome to c/fungusid @ Mander.xyz! Have you ever noticed a mushroom you didn’t recognize, or wonder what the mycelium growing in your yard belonged to? Look no further, you’ve come to the right place! We help others identify fungus. When posting, please consider providing the geographic location....
Hello all, there's a new community for identifying different types of fungi! Feel free to come join us!
I used to have this concern myself, but I think there's nothing to worry about if you label notes properly, giving them full YAML, source links, tags, etc. Searching is an extremely powerful tool, but it's only as powerful as the information you provide it.
Additionally, you could provide basic structure to your system if you desire. I personally prefer minimal structure, letting groups of notes emerge, which can later become MOCs (Maps of Content). These are the hubs where all my notes can connect together, which makes finding them later even more simple.
A lot of my initial inspiration for how I set up my Obsidian workflow came from Aidan Helfant. He has some great resources for how to get started and details about his own processes.
One more resource that I only recently learned about was Obsidian Publish. These are public Obsidian notes from people that have decided to publish them publicly online. This is Aidan's for example. It might help you figure out what kind of setup you'd like to try.
Ultimately everyone creates a system based on personal preference and experimentation so don't be afraid to try new things :)
I started using Obsidian about a month ago. So far I've been treating it like a personal wiki. It took me a while to start really figuring out what to create, but now some of my primary subjects are technical notes (programming), ancestry, health, academic notes, etc.
I mainly feel prompted to create notes based on learned information. I might take an article found online with really interesting information, then convert it into my own words and save that as a note. The more concise I can make the note, the better. It's preferable to try and get to the main point of a subject in a few sentences or less. Doing it this way makes future me spend less time retrieving the information I need.
One shortcut that has helped me a lot is CTRL + O. It will open a promp to find a note, or create one if that doesn't exist. It's important to give your notes basic tags as well for what topics they pertain to do that you can make searching easier.
As for how much I use it, currently maybe a couple times a day, but I anticipate my usage growing as my note collection becomes larger.
I'm very new to this community myself, but I love what is being created here. It would seem to me that this instance is focused more broadly on academics than just science/nature. I believe that's a good thing though, as it creates a wider array of interesting content.
The closest space on reddit that I might compare this community to would probably be the DepthHub. One example of the type of subs that they often link to includes r/AskHistorians, which has valuable content, but doesn't really fit here if there's a strict curation of science/nature content.
This link might work
I've dreamed for years about a decentralized single sign-in method. Some of the worst security issues derive from using passwords, usernames, emails, etc. Two factor authentication is ultimately just a band-aid fix for now. I truly think the killer usecase of web3 will be the ux. I'm glad that there's someone else that shares this conviction.
While signing up for Lemmy, I found myself wishing for a web3 sign-in method. Federation is great, but there are so many servers and to have an account on each would be silly. Instead of crossing the server boundary on an account from your home server, why not just have a native account on each, connected by your decentralized web3 sign-in.
I'm sure it's possible. Someone would either need to transpile the current data format to match Lemmys', or just build a new front-end for it. Also, it might be considerably difficult to host something like this because there's just so much data. The Pushshift archive alone is 2TB, which is primarily just text.
There are archives of Reddit history, notably the Pushshift archive & current ongoing Archive Team archive. Much of the data can be searched on the Wayback Machine provided by the Internet Archive.
I have already tried doing this a few times, even replacing Reddit with Lemmy, despite knowing what the result would be. It's a fun exercise until I need to sit and read through the fluff in standard articles.
How to Grow a Three Sisters Garden (corn, beans, squash)
By Melissa Kruse-Peeples, Education Coordinator For many Native American communities, three seeds - corn, beans, and squash represent the most important crops. When planted together, the Three Sisters, work together to help one another thrive and survive. Utilizing the corn, beans, and squash tog...
The three sisters garden is a symbiotic formation of corn, beans, & squash. These crops combine to create preferable growing conditions for each of their cohabitants.

I've wanted to visit one of the Dark Sky approved locations for a while now. It's weird to realize that most of us have never seen a truly dark night sky. It's a waning resource.
Our ancestors built entire systems of navigation and beliefs based on it. Our view is a fraction of what they were able to observe with their naked eyes. It feels like viewing an unobstructed sky would be an important experience to have, so I'm thankful organizations like this exist.
