No you didn't, you just let Windows hide them from you. WSL2 is essentially a Hyper-V VM running Linux with some programs bridging between it and the Windows host -- or two such VMs with some additional bridging (for Wayland and audio) if WSLg is enabled.
At which point we'd need a Butlerian Jihad.
FTFY.
For the first, because some of us like that we don't have to change applications just to do different tasks. Yeah, kind of a silly reason, but there you go, why Emacs has packages for almost anything you can think of.
Why Org mode? Because it's good and it's already here, and like Emacs itself, it covers everything. Once you've used it for a while, every other way of organizing information looks like half-baked attempts to provide maybe a third to half of what Org already does.
Also, I'm primarily asking the question because it's something that always comes up whenever these kinds of productivity tools get posted on HN. It's essentially a meme. Foam does look pretty interesting, although porting everything in Org over to it would be somewhat frustrating...
Yes, you can always defederate from other instances if you want. In fact, a lot of fediverse instances do just that to protect their hugboxes from the rest of us who actually value our ability to communicate with each other. And there are certainly a number of instances that defederate from others on technical grounds rather than social ones.
