funnygrass··on Roam: Why I Love It and How I Use It
IMO "easy" linking to other pages should be doable, but part of Roam's power is creating those pages by just making the link.

The linked references block I think could be extremely powerful in Notion. Bidirectional linking helps to associate data better than anything else I know, and if that can be handled semi-automatically it would blow people's minds.

Also, yeah, opening other pages in a sidebar would be amazing for being able to reference data without context switching and literally losing sight of what you're working on.

Personally, I'm using Notion for structured data, and Roam for unstructured, freely associated data. They're both pretty awesome in their own ways.

funnygrass··on BlackRock’s decision to dump coal signals what’s next
It's to the point where ideals don't matter.

If you invest in energy you want renewables. Purely because of the economics of it. The only exception is if you get some shady Adani deal.

Just a thought: maybe space is not sparsely populated with bits of stars and rocks. Space is filled with a form of matter we cannot yet detect.
funnygrass··on EU considers temporary ban on facial recognition in public spaces
So as I see it is that they ban it temporarily until they can regulate it as now it can be used wrongly. I don't think it will ever get banned for good.
funnygrass··on Google is finally killing off Chrome apps, which nobody really used
You're right, my bad. Sorry for the confusion.
funnygrass··on Google is finally killing off Chrome apps, which nobody really used
Is this just a marketing move? Why is Google doing this? I also wonder how will this affect Chrome's market share. I think a lot of people appreciated the apps, especially the adblockers.

I also recommend you to try the alternative, swole.me. Personally, I like the recommendations better.
