I'm not worried about brain rot from overusing LLM's. Rather, I'm worried about brain rot from overusing #orgroam in #emacs

Anytime I need to look up how to do something (in an info doc, web, manual, etc) I write an org-roam note about it. When (not if) I forget in the future, there's the note. What I'm discovering is that now I can't remember anything! I *have* to look up my org-roam note.

Today's example was decrypting my Luks encrypted external drive. I can never seem to remember the right command, but it's there (even with the UUID of my drive) in org-roam. I can even just execute the source block with the shell command 😀

@pabryan I guess org-roam is about something else ;-) the real power for me is to find new connections and not adding one more unlinked note

@sharlatan I use it for capturing ideas, some of which have links to other notes, and some that don't. I haven't found any particular use for exploring connections for it's own sake. I do use the search facilities a lot though.
