IMHO the problem with the bus fare cap is that it's too high. £2 sounds great until you realise it's per-person and per-journey, so if there's three of you and you're only going a couple of miles, a minicab might end up being cheaper!
My main requirement is being able to type in facts or thoughts, and have them offloaded somewhere (I don't care where but would prefer it be local). Then later on I could bash in a few keywords and the program would spit out things it knows about those keywords. I don't want to be involved in trying to organise my thoughts. That way lies madness. :P
The biggest struggle with obsidian was how it seemed to try to subtly push me to link everything together. I have a very disorganised neurospicy mind and I was hoping to be able to offload the burden of organising stuff to a program on my computer, but I couldn't intuitively get to grips with how Obsidian could help me with that other than just pushing me to do it myself.
I've been slowly working my way through the 3DS back catalogue. Right now I'm obsessed with Pokemon Picross. It's a nice low-stress game that will quite happily sit and wait for you to look down at your screen again, making it great for playing on the bus. :)
Thank you for your input. However, the explicit topic of this thread is what the original poster is "sure everyone lately has noticed", and they went on to solicit "a sort of discussion about people’s opinions". As I am sure you are aware, stating that I have not in fact noticed and therefore have no opinion is nothing but engaging with the topic. Please do not derail the topic further. Thank you. :)
You didn't ask me, but you might want to know that I just tried generating one of these and posting it in r/1GBVidsOfRandomNoise. It seems reddit compressed my beautiful 1GB video to hell:
I'm just curious at this point. I'd like to spin up a second brain but I've tried a few options - Zim, Obsidian, OneNote, text files synced with Dropbox, nothing seems to really stick for me.
