#OverUnder 047 with @ploum
He’s a Belgian #blogger, #writer, and #opensource #developer.
He wrote many SF #books, created #Offpunk, an “offline-first command-line browser”, and blogs often about things that could make our world better.
He’s a bépo user, and loves split mechanical keyboards.
Today, he shares his thoughts on mailing lists, #bikes, #Gemini, Calendar.txt and #plaintext files, and #Mussels and Chips.
Is it possible to disable the #libreoffice rich #clipboard? I would prefer just #plaintext. 🤔
This week: One idea and one link that can help you figure out what "good enough" can look like when your mind and your schedule are too full to get everything done. Plain text related, naturally, but both can apply to any well-balanced life. Be kind to your elephant!

“Due to the obsolescence of his word-processing files, and our inability to find any software that will open them, the publication of Professor Really-Somebody’s notes, journals, and unfinished works has been indefinitely postponed.”
If you use @protonprivacy Mail to send or receive patches through git-send-mail, you should probably support this request:
Proton is particularly bad at supporting plain text email. There’s no support for format=flowed in the interface but, even worse : any mail sent through Proton SMTP will see its format=flowed header removed. This was a bug highly discussed in the Bridge Github ticketing system before it was sent offline. Please allow people to use Proton and the Bridge through plaintext (Mutt, Emacs, Alpine are widely used amongst the privacy geeks crowd)
After the best part of 2 years appending to my #OBTF, I've finally got my head around prepending. And I think it's my #PlainTextPlanner that's helped my neurons accept that this is a good move.
Working with the brain cell pathways, not trying to force them into what I'm told is the 'right' path, has taught me more about productivity than pretty much anything else.
This week: @johnnydecimal task management meets plain text, plus early thoughts on the new Obsidian iOS widget feature and its limitations.
"…for people with brains like mine that simply cannot cope with locking away tasks in a non-portable …format, plain text tasks can be a valid solution. Feel free to try and change my mind. I don't think you'll be able to, but I'm willing to hear you out."

I don't mind whether it's Times New Roman or Coliblri or ComicSans as long as it's served up in plain text
