I didn't see it so I'm recommending it.

Use this with the encryption, sync to local filesystem, and with syncthing or similar and you can have an entire "second brain" tree of knowledge written in markdown. On your phone, on your laptop, pc at work, etc.... all for free because devs

So one of the most wonderful things about relying on their proprietary closed source operating system is that you can't have external code audits. You just kind of wait for ethical people to come forward and explain bugs they've found and wonder, 1, how long has it been there, 2, how long have bad actors known about this, 3, how many other bugs are just like this or worse that they haven't found yet, 4, do I need to recreate VM images or can I trust the internal patch process to get it installed before I've been exploited, 5, does the patch actually fix the underlying security flaw or is it something they're calling a "feature" now that will always be an issue... I'm so grateful to not be a janitor for Microsoft Windows software anymore.

I mean if you're dumb enough to tie yourself to garbage proprietary software that constantly sucks, has majority security flaws as features, removes features, spies on you, and charges you money to use it on every computer, then you're getting what you asked for and you just don't realize it.

My two cents.... trying to profit via the business of artificial scarcity on an open source project that's going to end up a commoditization anyway, is kinda crappy. If they offered support or implementations or a specific customization for profit, I get it. That way the people doing work get rewarded and people don't end up paying for access to a feature because it's a carrot being used to get money.

A government that hides its actions is a government that is overstepping its bounds and needs to be slapped around a bit. I think we're decades behind in the slapping around department.

Make everyone a criminal and spy on everyone so you can control them and scared them to death. What a wonderful way to run the "land of the free"

I bet most people thought the spying was for terrorists.
