For now

I suggest you run this by an actual doctor.

That's not a trick. It's just how you list files. Same awkwardness as any other disk command.

I think it originally aired on MTV.

“When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind, I don’t consider the bloody ROI.”

Well Tim, I suppose the blind do outnumber the handless.

Nor the Flux Capacitor from Back to the Future.

The most infuriating case I've seen within the last few days is the Airbnb CAPTCHA, which relies on the user being able to see content that is blocked at zoom levels over 100%. They have an alternative audio option that they've clearly never tested; it always reports failure, even if the CAPTCHA was solved correctly. Unthinkable for an organization with their resources.

Obsidian is just a shitty wrapper around CodeMirror, which does the actual heavy lifting. How much of the money should Obsidian hand over to the CodeMirror developer?

What, no smiley face in those comments? Maybe a silly shrug would have been appropriate.

Just say "I think my users are stupid" and be done with it. The timing of your announcement is obviously not a coincidence. You are genuinely terrible at this.

For those that aren't aware, this is all meant to distract/confuse you in light of this story: https://cyber.netsecops.io/articles/obsidian-plugin-abused-i...

I realize you're just doing your job as CEO to shape perceptions here, but this is your best effort? The docs should have correctly stated "we don't review ANY new community plugin release". Hint: This is where you would admit the review process itself was meaningless theater intended to provide a false sense of security to users that trusted you.

In what universe is it trusted? This blog post is an admission that they've been lying to their userbase about their review process for years, with updates receiving no review whatsoever. Enjoy your mass exfiltration.

Wtf are you doing with all the money? Hire some actual engineers already, Jesus.

Maybe wait and see how this plays out. It's a cat and mouse, and the mice here are way smarter. Data exfiltration happens quietly.

No I'm not. But I'd encourage you to visit and see for yourself why these outcomes are completely predictable.

Yeah, but these attacks are possible without any of that complexity.

This is just the first detected and reported instance, in all likelyhood such attacks have been happening for some time. When will the fanatic userbsse finally admit that using Obsidian in any enterprise setting is just plain malpractice?

It takes 5 minutes in their Discord channel to see the founders are D&D nerds, not competent engineers. It was never meant for serious work.

That's horse hockey. Obsidian is not a usable system without community plugins.

Folks will reply "but I use it every day without plugins".

That position disregards software usability as a formal discipline, along with decades of UX research and standards.

Macs are great for watching cartoons, etc.. But for any serious work, you'll want a real computer.

Nobody remembers Hotbot. Google before Google.

When would prefer for it to have been released?

An obvious pivot would be to Codeberg. Is there some missing feature there rendering such a move less desirable than I imagine?

The whole idea of dependence on recurring natural fires always seemed suspect to me.

That's a 404

He presumably wanted the result to be good.

Yes, but the claim is presumably that this one is good.

I've been long fascinated by the rolling release model. But aren't you guys worried about supply chain attacks? Seems those on the bleeding edge serve as canaries in the coalmine for the rest of us.

Grep'ing doesn't use tokens, it uses grep.

So what is an example use case where you'd prefer to do X without using this particular tech?
