  • Most of those options are the traditional text-based, “page” based type notes. There really aren’t that many options in terms of competition to something like OneNote though, where the “page” isnt a fixed size, and supports more than just plain text such as handwritten text, or images, or stuff that doesnt necessarily fit in a neat little square.

    Dont get me wrong, there are some fantastic note-taking apps out there that are dead simple to use, but if you’re looking specifically for something like OneNote, then again, super limited options.


  • Politicians should focus on why we should elect them rather than why we shouldn’t elect the other guy. This middle-school clique politicking has been incredibly detrimental, and the longer it goes on, the worse things will get. The whole “get a message out in 3 seconds” aspect is partly to blame, and we as citizens need to own up to the fact that we collectively are responsible for this crap, as our habits have indicated that we dont want “long form” even when something like that is important to have and to be able to accurately convey information.






  • This AI debate is hilarious. Especially from a privacy standpoint, because if anyone were all that concerned about their privacy, they wouldn’t be posting sensitive stuff to things they don’t control, if at all.

    Add to that society trends towards an increasing population, societal pressure that frowns on any talk of how to stabilize or even decrease the population, and our ever increasing reliance on various black boxes that we dont even begin to understand, and you can see we’re heading in a direction that goes against privacy whether we want it or not.

    Easier to encourage people to make the conscious effort to not post what they dont want public than it is to change all the platforms involved.




  • <laughs in massive data breaches> Better buckle up Buttercup, because “being in a database” is a reality. Thanks to data breaches such as Equifax, pretty much every US citizen and all their important details are available in numerous databases.

    We willingly purchase devices that listen and watch our every move… to be added to private, corporate databases that get sold around like cheap prostitutes. At least with government databases, voting gives at least a teeny, tiny modicum of control.

    And even better, while I cant name specific breaches in relation to global populations, it’s a safe bet most everyone else is compromised as well.

    On the bright side, at least it makes random identity theft occurring to any one particular individual akin to winning the PowerBall.





  • I’m pretty chuffed with what we have now. Considering it really hasn’t been that long that this sort of stuff has even been around, yet the average person can utilize an “AI” in their everyday life without even knowing how to use a computer.

    Sure, it’s not 100% perfect, but I’ll take “stupidly convenient and right 90% of the time” over “takes hours of sifting through blogspam to find useful information that may or may not be correct”. Especially when it comes to mundane stuff like writing a resume or things where you have the knowledge, but just not the time.
