proprietary/online products: *exist*

users: "better keep notes local and in a standard format!"

users: "right, but also using tools is important for the same reasons, Obsidian is not FOSS, on the other hand there is this new app called Logseq..."

Obsidian users: "it's nice that everyone can use what suit them the best :)"

@post interestingly, Microsoft tried to get a patent for "using XML to store productivity software data" in many jurisdictions (including here in NZ). StarOffice had used XML well prior to Microsoft getting around to it, so we used it as an example of prior art when contesting it in NZ... MSFT pushed ahead with other patent applications in other jurisdictions, assuming that - despite prior-art being universal - there wouldn't be organised oppositions everywhere. MSFT is unethical. @lwriemen

@post yes, it was StarDivision's StarOffice prior to being released by Sun Microsystems as #FOSS. Scott McNealy acquired StarDivision when he worked out that was more cost-effective than paying for MS Office for all of Sun's staff. Plus he made it #FOSS because he knew a community would help to maintain it, it gave them great publicity, and was a solid way to mess with Microsoft. Heady days. @lwriemen

When an object shoots past you at nearly the speed of light, it looks *rotated*.

This has been known for a while, but the famous topologist Jack Morava found a new formula relating the amount of rotation to the Mercator projection. And he's hoping this will make him rich.

(He's got a sense of humor.)

I wanted to mention #espanso, an open-source cross-platform text expander I use daily. It has a complete feature set, with features not provided by many of its closed-source alternatives. Highly recommended!

Here's the stuff I contributed to #KDE this February! Including work on the new Gamepad KCM, kdevelop.org, figuring out API documentation, and of course a slew of Tokodon features and fixes!

Primer AI.

In 2020, Primer AI became a contractor for U.S. Special Operations Command.

Primer AI claims it will develop the first AI platform to automatically identity suspected disinformation agents.

Sean Gourley, the founder, worked for the U.S. military creating AI systems to "track insurgency" in post invasion Iraq.
His focus is now on "domestic disinformation", so citizens of western countries. Sean Gourley asserts they must be a "Manhattan Project for truth". He suggests governments should create centralized, government controled, Wikipedia style databases, which will be updated by intelligence agencies to create baselines of truth.
Gourley claims that 2020 is the year that begins the "weaponization of the truth"
