There are a lot of configuration options in the new #Obsidian Web Clipper. And I love it! For example, I set it to create the clipped note with the properties I always use. But there are many other options, such as choosing between creating a new note or adding to a specific position in an existing note. Anyway, it’s going to take me some time to test everything and then make a video about it.
I’m having so much fun with NotebookLM lately. It behaves more like a companion AI as it uses the information and knowledge we have added to it to give the answers. I’m curious as to why there’s so little discussion about it. Anyway, there’s definitely a video coming up soon.
Please don’t get me wrong, I love that people are finally moving away from Twitter, and I do like Bluesky. However, I am still perplexed as to why so many users are choosing it at the same time. As I write this, Bluesky is about to reach 20,000,000 users, which in my case translates to nearly half the people I was following on Twitter. When I started using Mastodon, the number was considerably lower.
Speaking of which, I think Mastodon would be a better place for companies, news outlets, and institutions to be because of how servers work there, but perhaps Bluesky’s approach was a better one. Since there is currently only one server to choose from, it may be easier for people to understand it.
As for Threads, I don’t like the fact that they are constantly pushing the “For You” feed and are taking so long to properly join the Fediverse. It’s also important to keep in mind that it’s a Meta product.
I’ll still post on my blog first and from there automatically share on social media, but it’s great to see so much enthusiasm and so many people joining a decentralized platform.
Finally, if you are new to Bluesky, the video below will help you learn how verification works on the platform. Even if you are not planning to verify your account, I believe it’s important to know if you are actually following the real person or institution.
Cross-post to Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, LinkedIn, etc. for as low as $5/month. I use Obsidian to compose the posts, but that’s optional. Learn how to do it in the video below.
I was considering the recent migration to Bluesky as a fad, but at the rate at which the Bluesky User Count number is growing, it will reach and exceed 19M users very soon. To give you some perspective, there are almost 11M ActivityPub users as of now.
Of course, if Threads was already fully integrated into the Fediverse, the situation would be entirely different. Which brings us to the question I’ve been asking myself for quite some time now: is Threads even serious about being part of the Fediverse?
Panstar sent me this device, and before turning it on, I was already shocked by how thin it is. It’s extremely thin, almost as thin as the USB-C charging port. Then, when I started the onboarding process, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The text is so sharp.
I literally got it out of the box now, and these are just my initial impressions. If you’d like to learn more about it, stay tuned. After playing with it for a few days, I’ll start sharing more thoughts and reactions on my blog and YouTube channel.
Bending Spoons was the best thing to ever happen to Evernote.
The more I learn about how Evernote was operating before Bending Spoons bought it, the more I love how well it’s been taken care of now.
Although I began using Evernote in 2008, it was only in 2012, when I joined the Ambassadors Program, that I found myself gaining access to some inside information. But just like what happens today as an Evernote Expert, there was never full access to all the details, strategies, or plans for the future. For those, I’ve always done my homework, consuming every bit of public information and connecting the dots myself.
Things got slightly more complicated when they were acquired by a company I had never heard of before. That meant starting from scratch to learn all about Bending Spoons.
Like in the past, I found myself reading, watching, and listening to everything I could find related to that unknown company. And I mean anything. Even if it is about products unrelated to
I make every effort to avoid these planes, but sometimes it is not possible. Before boarding, I already knew it. It is easily identifiable by looking at the turbines. If they have a zigzag pattern on the back of the engines, it’s a Max. This was a 737-8200 variant, but a Max is a Max. I would be lying if I told you I was not scared, but everything ended up fine.
Voicenotes Believer Plan, which is a single payment for life, will stop being offered at some point this week. The email they sent does not specify a date, but I just checked, and it is still available when I write this.
If you are still on the fence, this could be the perfect opportunity to buy it. And if you decide to do it, please consider using my affiliate link. You will pay the same amount, but I will receive a small commission.
The email also mentions some upcoming features that I’m really curious to try:
- Meeting note-taker with timestamps, speakers, and insights.
- Share notes with other accounts for work and personal use.
- Intelligent insights based on past notes.
- Desktop app & Chrome extension.
