I generally take everything they say with a giant grain of salt, but that was somewhat true even before 2022. Most of the AI-reliant people I know were never that great at evaluating sources of information. It’s just that the problem is far more pronounced now.

When you talk to people IRL outside of work, some of them are pretty cool and helpful for no other reason than because they want to be.

I'm not going to use that one (the website makes a big deal about using AI to automatically tag things, and I'm trying to reduce LLMs in my digital life), but thanks for sharing! It otherwise looks like a cool app.

Thanks for sharing these!

Oh, OK! I probably won’t do any of those because I’m trying to reduce my dependence on big tech companies and dislike Dropbox, but thank you so much for explaining.

Ok, OK. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this! Sounds like you really do need to have multiple tools working together. I might try Raindrop/Recoll/SingleFile for something.

Thank you so much! This is really helpful. Logseq in particular sounds pretty interesting.

Thank you so much for taking the time to put all of this together! You're awesome.

I think for my purposes, Obsidian is probably private enough (I don't share my PC with anyone), but I am interested in exploring more FOSS stuff. I don't really mind a lack of features/plugins or a dated interface at the moment. My bigger concern is that CherryTree and a lot of other indie FOSS stuff seem geared toward people who are more tech-savvy than I am (the website and download pages seem figure-out-able for me with a little work, but don't exactly have great UX for non-techies). I'm not a developer or IT person, just a regular office worker type who has become very frustrated with "AI" and big tech companies, but I'm trying to learn more about how things work anyway. I might end up trying both Obsidian and CherryTree.

Thank you! I keep seeing Obsidian mentioned in different places online. If you don't mind, I have a few more questions:

-Can you add personal notes that are longer than hashtags to your links/articles in Obsidian? -Can you do the above on Cherrytree? -Are there any disadvantages of Cherrytree over Obsidian? -What makes Obsidian not very private?

Thank you so much! Sounds like a pretty cool system.

[–] ladybugs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Awesome, thank you so much!

Oh, OK. Thank you so much!!

 

Right now, I have a mess of bookmarks, open tabs, and things saved haphazardly in different apps. I want a system where I can organize it all and also keep it reasonably private. Open to all suggestions, whether that's an app or a tool or a personal trick or some completely different way of interacting with the internet.
