A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

People need to watch out for Obsidian’s license. If you use it for notes for your job there is a strong possibility you need to pay.
I’ve been pleased with Marktext for editing and Joplin for storing notes.
what? I have never heard this about them. is that possibly if you use their sync service?
Sync is always paid, and optional. A commercial license and sync are separate.
They list it pretty clearly, but most people probably don’t read it. This is a bit troublesome since it’s in flathub and very easy to install. Probably routinely violated, that’s the danger of proprietary software. https://obsidian.md/license
Non-profits are also exempted.
They say on their website that as soon as you use it for commercial projects, you need to get a paid plan. Their own sync is only availble on a paid plan iirc, so you should be fine.
