As a researcher, I am very happy that recently all the conferences and journals we usually publish to champion open access publishing. Due to this, all my work is currently FOSS and all the papers open access. That is a great change to the papers of the past where you have to have an affiliation to a university to get access to a paper and sometimes even that is not enough.

ConcernedApe thought so, too ;) He works on Stardew his whole game development career. It is difficult to stop trying to improve the game and let your baby go after so long.

Exactly the same happened to me. It just feels so natural. I run basically every single command with the Atuin up key. It is faster then typing it all again and again. Atuin is what the history search in terminal should have always been.

Nevertheless, there is the one hidden advantage of this approach: You learn new things while trying to automate everything. Remember, that it is the journey that is important, not the destination ;)

I know about Trilium, but never had the incentive to try it out. Maybe I will spare some time now to have a look and investigate. The sheer number of features is astonishing. Thank you for reminding me about Trilium again.

Ad paragraph 2: The beauty is that you do not have to only enjoy it while it lasts. FLOSS cannot end in this way. As already explained by @[email protected], if this all just conglomerates to a centralized and rotten state, you simply create another instance and federate exclusively with those instances that are not rotten. Maybe only with the smaller instances that, for example, focus on a topic you find interesting.

You do not even have to fork and maintain anything. You simply use the SW as is, but without having to deal with the aspects that you find problematic (centralization on a few large instances and rotten admins, etc.).
