Also, Transformers and COD games are hitting eyeballs as soon as kids are old enough to watch TV unsupervised. Beer commercials, certain coffee establishments, etc etc. The wrong unsupervised media environment readily delivers poor kids to the armed forces as an aspirational goal.

    Markor makes you pick a title before you can type and the quick notes feature doesn't quite ameliorate the issue for me so I specifically went looking for the same and found one called Markleaf on F Droid that does what I want. It has a nice tagging feature.

    I will forever find it deeply concerning the "vocal" "fandom" internet hated the rabbit so damn bad all things considered but instantly forgave Caine considering the torture.

    Lots of little extremely niche things people do on their computer on Windows are harder on Linux, I think the best example in general is video game modding. We can't say it's essential or barring anyone from making a switch and yet people like me wrankle. I'm disappointed no one ever put the honest time into cloning Mod Organizer and its amazing USVFS. Yes I know you can do it on Fuse, I know there are a couple other mod applications for Bethsoft games. The problem is ALL of these tools need a seamless way to talk between Proton instances, which would be a security risk I guess. And Mod Organizer was such a nice tool. The clone attempts I've seen have had shoddy UI, lacked core features you wouldn't even bother calling it an MO clone without (Amethyst was not storing -downloads-, just running whatever FOMOD it found immediately and deleting the archive), or were done heavily with LLM AI which I don't trust around proton instances.

    It's the absolute lowest priority right now and if you're willing to accept a lot of potential suck you can eek by. I don't use EMACs or I'd probably be the kind of person using that as mod manager, but hearing it described I'd liken my agony over lacking good mod tools to trying to use EMACs on a broken cellphone screen, or a keyboard missing half its letters. I miss the tools MO set the industry standard for.

    The Anne Frank quote. Doesn't it disprove the OPs point? If Anne Frank had spent a lot of time writing about her favorite fictional rock orbiting Pluto whose name was Jeremy the Rock, that would be a political topic like all other things in her diary because after she wrote that diary she was checks notes murdered for her ethnicity. The only children's diaries that necessarily aren't political are the ones we never read and the ones not penned by murder victims. Like you bitch about Lemmy culture all you want but you're the one who brought up a murder victim's last words, which are THE symbol of banal hatred of the innocent that people use to teach the tragedy of the Holocaust, BECAUSE what was written there was so completely innocent.

    I guess I forgot how much redditors think, but never think about Anne Frank.
