When I visit unsplash, the first thing that greets me is a box about their license, whereas on lensflare I can do <C-f> "license" and find nothing.

I think it would be a good idea to go on unsplash and look at all the labels they are using. For example "Picture of the day".

Also, when I click on an image, the details pane is pretty small. On unsplash I can see the full-size image, on lensflare I have to manually do RMB->View Image.

It is also not clear to me what the check-mark means when I click on an image in the "card preview".

e: Also, the big hero-images behind the search box seem to be jumping. Just go to [1] and press P-UP and P-DOWN a few times.

Furthermore, why is the hero-image generic? A picture of the sea? doesn't exactly spell animals to me.

Doesn't this license defeat itself?

> The Katharos License is based on the premise that the full 66 books of the Holy Bible are 100% true and inspired by God and that He alone is the ultimate authority for what is good and just.

vs.

> hate speech or discrimination based on age, gender, gender identity, race, sexuality, religion, nationality

Just think about "Thou shalt have no other gods before me".

E: I somehow replied to the wrong post. Sorry about that.

From all the Note-taking tools, I liked TW best, as the "story river" is a genious visualization, but I found the text editor very cumbersome and annoying. It just did not feel good to write my notes.

The "tag-interface" always popped up and could only be closed with the mouse, there were some issues with tab, ...

I then moved to Dendron and finally to org-roam. I think markdown notes are superior to org-files*, but I also wanted VIM keys, as being able to write without hassle is the single most important thing when taking notes. VSC of course has a VIM extension, but it is very much a second-class citizen. There is also the option to emulate and use nvim, but then I would have to set-up and customize nvim. Why not move directly to Emacs, where Evil reigns superior?

*org-files are very parasitic. I only consider them plain-text in the sense that they can be opened and edited with any text editor, similar to SVG, JSON and XML. But they are not exactly plain, and pretty much unusable outside of emacs/org-mode.

I think the author didn't misinterpret the situation. Just everyone else did. In my opinion the "emergency mode" of the NYT made everything worse.

Why would the hold an emergency meeting if it wasn't an emergency.

If they had just held their horses, the actually empty article of the "beast" would have fizzled.

Note: I am not a media insider

I don't like the authors response in this post. In part 1 he is basically groveling. He needs to provide the facts, and then shut up, instead of telling everyone how he "was active in africa", so he clearly can't be racist

Thank you very much!

Anyone knows what the "nude people dancing" [1] image from the post is called? Or how to call the art-style?

I find it oddly fascinating. Like hieroglyphs and cave-paintings. Or like greek paintings on a vase.

Two observations:

- The slide with the jeep together with the "use boring technologies" slogan paints an interesting picture of the challenges of E-mobility in this century. There are going to be a lot of things no one expected.

- How would you call this style of presentations? Zen-like? One catchy thing per slide? I find it pretty well done, and when I compare it to my own "wall of text" slides, I am a bit jealous.
