@ernest I really do appreciate everything you have done on Kbin! I love it and will bounce between the two until I have found my "home".
I know everything is new, so this was trying to spark as much of a "I don't know what I don't know" conversation because I think I might be using it wrong in the sens of the fediverse, rather than a threadiverse.
If there are features in waiting, then I will still be coming back to Kbin as my "favorite" of all the mediums, but I still think the microblog system is the best fediverse format. Even without a character limit. I just think the community concept only works if every activity pub instance also uses the same exact format. Instead of double posting and cross threading. But that's just me. I couldn't get the hang of Twitter or Reddit as a poster so that's why I always was a lurker.
- That's exactly it, so I'll wait for that!
I wasn't a Twitter user ever, I just thing the format for the fediverse is the best method of delivering what the idea of it is. More of a filter, rather than a follower type of content collection, If that makes sense. I think its best to have everything and then weed it down to exactly what you like than to search for a shot in the dark.
No disrespect to what you've done for Kbin at all, this was to spark conversation on how others use it!
@solivine Same, and it just works better. Whenever I need a word processor or spreadsheet at home I don't need that much, and I need to be able to access it on all my devices, not just my home computer. So having the free alternative work faster, better, everywhere, then I don't even see Office as relevant anymore.
I recently re-watched Future Diary, an anime relating to keeping a journal that then gets shifted forward into time which, depending on what you were documenting, could be to your advantage or disadvantage.
This inspired me to keep my own journal YEARS back, and I've been doing pretty good at keeping it alive. I've recently migrated to using Obsidian as my software (in fact, I use Obsidian for everything! From notes in class to quick to-do lists for the day) and it's made it pretty easy to look back on old notes. I used to be obsessed with minute-by-minute updates like in the anime, but took a more realistic approach to having a daily review. However recently I've found that I am losing track of more and more as my life gets more and more busy. I've tried some different note-taking methods but those work for some aspects, but not all aspects of what I need to remember.
I have (most likely, at best undiagnosed) ADHD to where I can't remember a conversation I just had as soon as I turn back around to continue what I was working on before getting interrupted in conversation. So I have tried writing EVERYTHING down. This works, as long as I remember all the details by the time it's written down. (I've been interrupted 5 times while writing this so forgive me if it's scattered) But notes can get lost in the sauce and I have to search forever to find bits of info.
The way I use Obsidian is by having the daily note set up with a template which is timestamped and asks loaded questions, with tags, to help me find what subject I want to look back on in certain dates. These tags can be relating to work, emotions, relationships, interactions, and ways to improve any of those.
These get stored in folders for each year, but I generally keep them open-ended with the file name being just the date with a quick summary after it.
I've tried to use it as a task tracker at work, but when it came for annual review time, I struggled to find a way to parse a lot of notes all at once to remember what I had done for the year. This made me want to migrate to Microsoft Lists but now I have to use two different software for close to the same thing, and I lose which one I used for information I need.
So, how do you use a journal? What software do you use? What works best for tracking your tasks for annuals? What works best for keeping you on task when ADHD gets the better of you? How do you keep track of everything?!
@jeanofthedead Yeah that's the only thing that makes me want an Apple. Android Auto in my Subaru with its portrait-tablet dash means I now have a smaller Android auto screen that only takes up the top 3rd portion. CarPlay fills the entire screen with the map and buttons are easy to find/push. It also doesn't present a risk when I use a destination as a waypoint on the motorcycle but it asks "How was your trip?" when I have gloves on and now I've missed my next turn because I couldn't minimize it with gloves on and couldn't pull over safely. It used to be so good.
@SuperRecording I've always been told the opposite. As long as you brush soon after you actually prevent stains. And to always make sure to at least rinse with water after coffee.
@Squander Let us peel away your petty facades and reveal you for what your truly are!!! --- fairly attractive 20-somethings, apparently.

K bye, this content isn't helping the lack of good content.
@buycurious Nah nothing wrong with you, you're just curious to buy it.
