Has the availability of Starlabs hardware gotten better? Back in August 2024 I ordered a Starbook and then cancelled the order 4 months later when the laptop was still not delivered and Framework started selling in my country.

The repo is now almost 3 years old (started in December 2022) but you still can't install the plugin via Obsidian. Looking at their roadmap, several features have been completed but for some reason they don't think it's ready to for use.

Bases seem like a great alternative to Dataview [0] but better supported and with simpler syntax than literally writing inline JavaScript for more complicated stuff.

You can also export your table as CVS and they plan to properly support Obsidian Publish which was never supported in Dataview.

[0] https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview, I was a big fan but it seems the author has stopped actively developing it at some point which is a shame.

If you pay for the Catalyst license (which you need to anyway to use this beta feature), when you log into the application, under General there's an option to enable "Receive early access versions". Then if you click on "Check for updates" it will download the latest version.

That does not match my experience. I've been working with Python for a year or so and the packaging problems come up every now and then still.

I've installed/built a few packages written in Go and Rust specifically and had no problems.

You need: 1. Usenet provider (this allows you to download the links) and Usenet indexer (this allows you to search for content you want because files like movies usually have obfuscated filenames). Example of the former is Frugal Usenet, example of the latter is Drunken Slug (free-ish) or DogNZB (paid). One of the many things you need to watch out for with providers is retention, the length of time they keep the files so you can download them. In general, the older content you find on the indexer, the less likely it's still going to be available. The downloading itself can be done in an automated way (for example with Sonarr and the like) or kind-of manual with tools like SABnzbd.

It's not really what you asked for, but subtitles that you download from websites like zimuku.com or zimuku.cn have dual language versions: separate English and Chinese flag means the ZIP file contains separate language subs, pirate flag means it has one set of subtitles containing both languages - super useful if your video player doesn't support displaying more than one set or you don't want subs at the top of the screen).

Installing it via "flatpak install foliate" didn't work? Downloading the .flatpakref seems like an unnecessary step to me but I'm on a different distro (openSUSE Tumbleweed).

edit: I can also open files from anywhere on my PC. Could it be that the flatpak on Debian Stretch is not correctly configured?
